Juliebird, that's scary! I don't really understand why people are passing on the left if the car ahead has its left blinker on. That's, like, the purpose of the blinker! To tell you which way someone is turning!

Times quiz aside, I feel like I've spent every third minute today being an idiot. Which is at least 25% higher than usual.

We also have the added bonus that, while residential, we're also an exit off the highway/service road and people continuing their highway speeds around a sharp curve with multiple driveways, and while the street is wide, there's always some private renovations going on with construction vehicles lining either side of the street. But only on the straight-away which coincides with our front entrance.
I don't know what the answer is, speed humps/bumps, stop light, stop sign (which is also dangerous for those numbnuts not paying attention to stopped vehicles in front of them), increased signage for blind driveway and Entrance Ahead (not that these jerkwads would pay attention enough to read them). Is there an uptick in distracted driving. I just can't even begin to understand.

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 got a 29, which is high-average (and mostly if I was wrong, it was the other thing I was thinking "well, it could be X or Y....")
I got 19. Which doesn't surprise me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I really wish this government shutdown would end. I'm starting to freak a little.

Dunno about the shutdown, but apparently Boehner and other Republican leaders admit in private that they're not gonna make the US default on its debt.

So that's two weeks we have to make it through. I think Caltech can carry us for that long.

2 weeks from today, that is. Debt limit is 10/17.
It should start hitting some of the states next week I think.
