None!
In Almaty, all of the taxis work exactly the same. You raise your hand. A driver stops. You talk about where you going and you either get in or not. It worked for all our USAID people there and whenever I had to visit.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Please make me stop poking the crazies on Facebook. (I am, BTW, "immature and irrational." Well, DUH.)

Steph, he's not worth arguing with.

I'm just feeling froggy today and want to poke. I haven't even tried to argue; I'm just name-calling. (Which, he's right, is immature. Though not necessarily irrational.)
Perhaps I will go make granola and it will take away the desire to feed him his spleen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've managed to never get lice, and my sister got them at least twice. We never worked out how, since she's not supposed to be able to get the same lice as the other kids in her class, as far as we were informed. Maybe she has had secret white people hair this whole time...
I am putting off sending an email to the CIO, even though we've been exchanging them all morning.

Okay, now I'm smart-assing with a different friend on FB, which makes me feel much better. (Friend #1 said that wearing Spanx is bullshit and keeps women down. So I said we *have* to wear them or our reproductive organs will just fall right out. Friend #2 said that no, Spanx holds our uterus in place so it doesn't wander around the abdominal cavity.)

Since a pickup truck only has two seats, it's considered fully occupied with two people in it and can use the carpool lane. But lots of women won't choose to get into a pickup alone, so they'll pass on that and let the next person down the line take that.
Also, there's a commuter board where they warn about drivers they don't like. (Specifying by car and license plate.)
But generally, it's been going on for 30 years with no crimes reported. Just occasional bouts of "that driver was too aggressive and/or chatty."
Everybody I've picked up so far has been perfectly polite. They're veteran commuters. They know the drill.

Because the sandy soil in SF is a perfect breeding ground for lice and fleas it's impossible to get through school here without your kid getting it at least once.
Emmett and Matilda have both had it twice.
