Wah, I pretty much can't start evading Zombies until I get north for the summer. Unless I go really early in the morning or very late at night. It has been really warm during daylight hours.

-t, we are in the same place in the plot!

That seems like it deserves a high five. Consider your hand slapped, Debet.

It's kind of genius to harness the same drive that makes me binge watch TV shows to motivate me to go running.

I can't always manage to fit it in before work, but when I can I find dawn runs to be really satisfying, Laura. FWTW.

So, I had a very weird experience driving the kids to swim class today. Total gridlock and I could see police up ahead, so I assumed there had been an accident. But when we got closer, I could see it was three or four police vans with traffic cones to guide everyone into a single lane (down from 4), and they were pulling some cars over and having them wait. I got pulled over and the officer told me it was a random safety check. (He took my license over to one of the vans, presumably ran my plates, gave me back my license and sent me on my way.)

I really hope that there is either a terrorist or serial killer on the loose, because I don't much like the alternative (that the NYPD really are just randomly stopping people on the street to ask for their papers).

Wow, Jess. WTF.

Yikes.

I've been pulled over for random checks, but they call it random sobriety checks and they check everyone. If they pull everyone over or a consistent "every fourth" or whatever, no one calls it profiling. They generally announce when they're doing them, and they still catch lots of people for various things.

Yeah, the cops around here do "safety checks" on holidays weekends a lot.

I wonder if it has something to do with fleet week.

Clicked the link on Facebook. Price out of my range. Don't need anything that good. Just looking for a cheap used laptop or tablet to watch Democracy Now on.
