Cincinnati driving makes me crazy because the highway exits have ZERO relation to the Google maps version of said exits. Which I realize is more Google's fault than Cincy's, but I can't even tell you the number of times I've driven back and forth across the Kentucky border looking for an exit that I later determined did not exist.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also Cincinnati drove me a little nuts, the big thing that stunned me there was the number of drivers who would come to a complete stop and the end on an onramp and sit waiting for a break in traffic to then pull out. I'd come up the onramp at freeway speed expecting to actually merge into traffic and there'd be some nutjob just sitting in the middle of the lane.
Ay. Every morning, that's my commute. "Merge" is apparently a foreign word. (OTOH, I got a ticket this morning, so maybe I'm not the best person to complain about bad drivers.)

Really? Now I want to Google map my drive home. Maybe I will!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
In PA they put stop signs at the end of on-ramps. I just don't get it.
Driving dowtown Chicago used to freak me out until I drove a horse-and-carriage. Now it's pretty rare for any kind of traffic to phase me. I wouldn't look forward to a cab ride in Jamaica, though.

Because in PA nobody drives over 15 mph anyway, so accelerating to highway speed is a waste of time. t /HATE DRIVING IN PA

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sunrise, Florida 'Lost' By Google Maps
It's home to 90,000 people, one of the nation's biggest malls, a National Hockey League team and, the city's mayor boasts, the first IKEA store in the state.
But, for at least a month this summer, Google's computers "lost" Sunrise, Florida.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Benedryl helps me sleep, but first it makes me wicked jittery. If I am taking it, I take one at least an hour before bed, and use the jitters to do the dishes and tidy up and maybe watch an hour-long show. By the time all that's done, I am actually sleepy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Just got a report from Hec: They went and met the admin and the program director and Matilda didn't hate any of it or run away screaming. And it will definitely give us a huge advantage in placement next fall.
So, Hec and I will go in on Monday to fill out more paperwork, and over the rest of the week we'll work on the transition, and on the first Monday in October she'll start.
Eep!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Eep!
Only the good kind of eep! I know it's come up as a sudden decision, but it really sounds like a great opportunity in so many ways.
