Marylanders don't get roundabouts.
Hmph. Maybe not in Baltimore.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Chevy Chase roundabout is a little terrifying, though.

Is it? I mean, that's where I learned to drive, so maybe I'm just used to it.

Punishingly Intricate
I love roundabouts! I don't think there are any in Baltimore proper but there are some nearby. I get annoyed with people who are too afraid to use the roundabout correctly.

Jessica, yes. Especially because lots of the other ones in DC of that size have mitigation of weird double lanes etc.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
OK, just got home, and my package is here! And an infonotice??? WTF?
But hey, at least you got your package!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I mean, that's where I learned to drive, so maybe I'm just used to it.
I felt like that about LA freeways. Then I moved away for long enough that they startle me again. I can drive in So Cal, but I acknowledge it is weird and more than a little bloodthirsty.

I learned to drive with a traffic circle in my neighborhood. Used to wonder why they weren't more common.
Three day's of A's games. I'm a happy Suzi. Anyone friended on facebook has been flooded with my A's fangirling. But I thought I'd share a cool picture with y'all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"Yeah, it's stupid, but I'm gonna do it anyway."
I take away more of a no harm no foul no regrets sort of thing. Like YOLO can encompass taking a big risk--it's not necessarily stupid, but it's not sensible.
I don't like when drivers hesitate, because then I don't know when things are going to happen. I really like to put as much distance between me and people stutter stepping on the gas as possible.

And they swept the Rockies! With lots of home runs!
