So who knew Sally Ride was a lesbian?
I didn't know until I heard her obit on public radio and they mentioned her longtime partner.

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

I noticed the NASA statement on her death mentioned family survivors but not her partner.

I didn't know that either, but apparently they've been together since the early 80s.
I did see it noted this morning that her partner will, of course, not receive any death benefits as an opposite sex spouse would.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Extreme furry!
NASA could at least recognize the existence of Sally Ride's partner.

I bought my brother a t-shirt from Tee Fury a couple of weeks ago, and when it was delivered (to my house) Tim read the label and was all, "What the hell? Tee FURRY?"
My response? "Dude, they don't wear t-shirts."

I'm going to have to find another area where he can get comfortable driving before having to deal with speed and traffic at the same time.
Cemeteries! That's where my mom taught me--lots of turns to negotiate, plus getting used to other cars at a slow speed before having to deal with them at higher speeds.

Good idea Polgara. I know where one cemetery is. I think.
Thanks for the ideas. When I taught K-Bug, we had the empty Naval Air Station. Ok, not totally empty, but very minimal traffic and lots of roads, stops, turns, parking lots.
