those folks are making things easier for people behind them by making the clogged up lane less cloggy. It's the people "waiting patiently" that caused the problem. If they had stayed in the closing lane they would be 1/2 mile up the road past the closure and moving along at a decent clip... but I guess they get satisfaction that everybody behind them is not in front of them. That'll show them.

Somebody doing that 5 minutes before you got there just made you wait longer. In some states that's illegal. You can't impede traffic just because you feel like it. The lane is open until it's closed. Everyone is just too damn impatient and inconsiderate. The same people who do that probably don't obey school drop off procedures, they just stop on the main road and let their kids run out into traffic. Rules are for everybody else to follow. Saps. "Oh no, that person might get in front of me! The horror! No! Can't happen". It's not "cutting" It's "taking turns" Like we were taught in 2nd grade but many people forgot.

Super rich people are weird. We did a boat tour this summer near Fort Myers Beach, Estero Island. On the cruise they pointed out a house owned by Brett. The guy said he goes by there 3-4 times a day and for a few years has never seen anybody at the house. The windows and shades are always shut. This house is worth millions. Most of the houses along the water were small, 800-1200 sq foot that go for over $1M. This was a 2 story about 4000 sq foot. So weird. Just a tax thing? Something for a mistress to shut her up?

The bottleneck is caused by everyone getting over too early.

One time WRIF played The Wanton Song and the DJ pronounced it that way.

shes a Republican.

What I think they misunderstand is the acceptance that abortion bans, any of them, go into the issue of privacy rights overall. It won’t matter what carrot they offer. The GOP is going to be guilty of groupthink. They are in the distinct minority. The question obviously is how that translates into votes and non votes. But I think this being presented as a “hey elect us and you have nothing to worry about” isn’t going to work. It’s not abortion. It’s privacy.

Seeing what the states have done since Roe fell is all the people need to know their true intention. Nobody’s believing this is legit. It’s a starting point. It’s not moderate.

if they brought it to a vote, 47 GOP Senators would then vote against it.

at first I thought he died...

He's basically a televangelist/infomercial huckster that saw an opening in the political world through grievances. Scare people.

because the show is not easily digested. It requires discipline by the viewer to invest. You can't watch it while playing on your phone or folding laundry. You could have a great 3 minute sequence of no dialogue, just brilliant camera shots and framing of Mike building a hidden compartment in his closet. That shit don't work for the Emmys.

What season of Ozark did these Emmys apply to? I'm pretty sure BCS gets one more shot at the Emmys for the season that just concluded .

I've been reading a book by the astronaut John Young and as the top Astronaut rep during Challenger you get the same feelings about the O Ring problem and later the problems with the tiles that doomed Columbia. Both of those were well known issues, and in the case of the tiles, caused a lot of panic very early on in the shuttle program. But you have too many hands in the pot and agendas. Engineering/Safety conflicting with public policy. I suspect what happens is you have 25 people CC'd on an email and if a question is asked everybody assumes someone else will take care of it.

My guy called me yesterday.... not realizing I already renewed. and I have a feeling the backpack girl is not a customer but an employee because I'm pretty sure you can't take that into the stadium as a fan.

Doyle Bramhall II was one of his guitarists. That guy is good. His dad played with the Vaughan brothers and wrote the song “life by the drop” specifically to Stevie.

I got my flu shot last Wednesday and my shoulder was sore for a few days.

I’m getting my bivalent Booster tomorrow at Walgreens. Lots of slots open for those interested
