Unless those accidents are lightning-bolt related

Or deal with a person outside of a car being the other involved in the collision. The main point of those where they are putting them here is to increase foot traffic for idiots I personally have noticed don't understand the purpose of a crosswalk.

Sounds like fun!

Wasn't it Jeremy Clarkson who said that if you have a car accident on Iceland it's worse because you're bound to know the person in the other car?

Incidently plan C sounds delicious. What happened to it?

How are roundabouts over there? Common? I know Europeans love em. In the States, they're fairly rare. I personally hate them, but they are definitely much safer than stop signs with regards to fatal accidents.

They are rather common and we even have tiny ones which nobody knows how to use. They are indeed much safer so they are the go-to solution for the urban planners here. One recent neighborhood has nothing but roundabouts on the main street and it's annoying to say the least.

Something like that.

It was just a backup if all went to shit which luckily didn't happen. I will be making a huge chocolate cake tomorrow for one of the collages in the neighborhood so a lot of material will be used there.

Spending Day 2 alone with the Little Monkey. He's having a swimming lesson right now with my parents' housewatcher's daughter. God bless her. I do believe she saved his life just by showing up today.

Have another kid, then you'll be able to look back on these as the good times!

Yeah, buck up Monkey. One kid is soooo easy!

First day of work for me since the semester started (yesterday). Its kinda nice to have the campus full again, even though I know it means more work. Ah well, at least I am graduated.

That all terrifies me.

I remember with extreme fondness returning to (college) campus as a student in the fall. September/October is when I miss it most.

I am still a student, its just my one class is Jogging. Still get all the student benefits this way, namely keeping my job.

That all terrifies me.

Stayed home with my two daughters for 8 years. You really don't know what being terrified means

Went to work and was pleasantly surprised to find the IT guy setting up my computer in my new office. Shipped my ESP950 to Koss for a warranty return - damn squeals.

That all terrifies me.

It's all familiarity. After almost five years of looking after two kids full time, the only thing that really frightens me is the idea of having to deal with adults in the workplace again.

Came to work, rescued JH|13s after they were delivered to the wrong address, enjoyed JH|13s while trying to work the rest of the day.

No problem. Just work as a S/W or H/W engineer.

Got all moved in today. Will have pics of the setup as soon as it's all organized and clean.

Wanna see what a 120,000 acre brushfire looks like from 45 miles away? The smoke plume is supposedly 15,000 feet high. We live in Venura County and this is in a city near Pasadena.

The smoke plume is in my state now, just like an ever-expanding number of your citizens. Go back to where you belong, all of you!

Eh, just wait until October 2nd when the great unwashed masses decend upon your State, or at least the Denver Mariott.

So long as they bring their rigs, I'll let 'em in.

I'd absolutely believe it's at 15,000ft, based on what I saw from my flight into LAX yesterday morning.

I've seen a lot of CA wildfires, but never anything with a smoke plume that large and concentrated.

At least we can be thankful that it's California burning, and not an important state.

Got a telephone call informing me I'd been accepted into the PhD.

No wonder they have financial problems. I can't imagine what it'd be like to experience this every year.
