I feel pretty decent this morning--what's up with that? It's probably because Lonzie let me sleep last night. Usually he goes into his circus routines at about 5 a.m.

It was actually kinda chilly this morning, like 60 degrees--and I was glad to see that! When I was in CT, I'd start dreading winter in about May. Seriously, as soon as it got warm, I'd be thinking, "ACK, it's going to be cold again in about six months." I can do these little winters down here no problem, though. And I've pretty much survived my first summer back in the Deep South! (It's still getting up to 90 some days, but at least it's not 100 like it was, and it's cooling off at night.) Huzzah.

Weather. Boy, that's gripping stuff, huh? Yeah, I THOUGHT so. Punk.

I've started missing New Haven a little bit--not so much actually living there, but little niceties like being able to walk to a good bookstore or any number of kick-ass Indian buffets on my lunch hour. Plus, I've been jonesing really bad for a trip to NYC, but that ain't quite as easy as it was when I was 75 miles away. Can't have everything, I guess.

OH. I've been meaning to do this forever. I have a traffic question. OK, let's say you're on a four-lane road with a median in the middle, and there are those places in the median to make turns (lefts and U-turns). At this point I will offer a visual aid and a poll behind a cut:




Yes, I drew a diagram. I'm a nerd. Get over it.

OK. Say you want to make a turn. Which part of the little median piece do you go through--the near or the far? Say you're on the right side of the highway as shown above, and you want to make a U-turn. Or a left turn. Doesn't matter. Do you go through the section marked A or B? I always go A, because that puts me on the right side of it, and we generally drive on the right side of the road in this country. But it seems like everyone else does the opposite--I guess because it's closer. Lazy bastiges. But maybe I'm wrong. I don't remember covering this in driver's ed 20 years ago.

I'm saying B not because its closer but because I DO remember covering it in drivers ed. if you go A you have to cross an extra lane of traffic to get to that right lane. if you go B you just get right in.

but really...who gives a fuck. if theres already a car in B I'd go A and cut him off. you know how we do in CT.

[about-a-blonde.livejournal.com]

and speaking of new haven...I was thinking of you last week when there was a major accident and whalley ave was shut down for a while I heard. you got out just in time : )

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Oh, no shit?! There's no doubt I'd have been involved if I'd been there. It would have been my Protege and a Meals on Wheels truck in a twisted mess of metal and middle fingers.

[about-a-blonde.livejournal.com]

LMAO

metal, middle fingers, and the camera to catch all the action : )

[lulu-girl.livejournal.com]

this is neither here nor there...but you really need to watch this:

f'n evil! safe for work. Gah! What a crazy, evil woman! poor fat kid.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Yap, it's every man for himself in CT. What happens to me a lot (here too, actually) is that I'll be sitting in the A section waiting for traffic to open up, and somebody will pull up to the left of me and want to go ahead of me--at which point I pull out my 9 mm and regulate on a bitch. But maybe I'm wrong for that.

[about-a-blonde.livejournal.com]

its never wrong to regulate a situation in traffic. its a way of life.

I used to be the screaming, middle finger waving, road rage filled driver but now its more satisfying to silently fuck with people. for example, I have a strong hatred for people who see a LINE of traffic on the highway and drive up the breakdown lane to cut everyone off. I wait until I see someone doing that and move over so that I'm half in my lane and half in the breakdown lane. now they have NOWHERE to go, and if all goes well the person behind me doesnt let them in either. you should see the rage THAT incites in people : )

[cynical5679.livejournal.com]

fuck I love indian buffets

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Oh my god!!! I feel so wrong because the kid was so terrified, but I watched it three times in a row and laughed like crazy. At first I thought when she was yelling "I'M STUCK" that she was saying "I'M FUCKED!!!" And why didn't Janice help the poor girl? That h00r was cackling like a fool.

[ginamoog.livejournal.com]

Maia sleeps through the night. So in essence, she sleeps when we sleep. That's pretty odd for a cat isn't it?

[lulu-girl.livejournal.com]

oh, shit, dawg. That was a GIRL???

oops.

That awful woman. She's like a crazy carney! and yes, I just about laughed my tits off.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Me too. :( We have one in town, but it's just kinda sorta OK. The ones in CT would make you slap yer grammaw.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

It is! Lonzie usually goes to bed with me, but he rarely makes it through the night. I'll be in the middle of a really good dream and he'll be doing backflips off the dresser.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Heck, I dunno, it coulda been a guy! Homeboy was screaming like a bitch, though!

I give you this: http://www.smithappens.com/video_dogvagina.php

[miladyelizabeth.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's 60 here too but I'm doing that dreading winter thing. We get like 3 months of weather I actually like. That's it.

I miss hushpuppies. How random is that?

[miladyelizabeth.livejournal.com]

Hey your kitty looks like my kitty!

HAHAHAHA!

"I don't want my dog to bite my labrador's penis!"

Well, at least she's concerned about something other than her biten vagina...

*gives my brain a silkwood shower*

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

I'm having a hush puppy crisis myself. I used to be able to cook them just right, but lately I can't make 'em worth a damn. I'm gonna have to start hitting some fish joints around here.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

"I don't want my dog to bite my labrador's penis!"

Why didn't the Ramones ever write a song called that?!? Damn dead punks.

[lulu-girl.livejournal.com]

HAHAHASHDKLFJSDAKLFJ!

Yeah. No shit!

[ginamoog.livejournal.com]

OMG SO CUTE!

[ginamoog.livejournal.com]

So he's really a trapeze artist.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

I think so. I keep expecting the rest of the Flying Lonziliman family to show up and try to bring him back to the fold.

[about-a-blonde.livejournal.com]

my cats both sleep through the night with us too!
the one that actually sleeps on the bed with us (the other one sleeps in my closet...weirdo) looks very angry when our alarms go off in the morning. we get the "IM TRYING TO SLEEP BITCH!" look from her every time.

[ginamoog.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA oh my gosh I don't know why, I'm dying.

[opened---once.livejournal.com]

I say A because then you beat the people that are waiting to go at B.

[opened---once.livejournal.com]

Yesssssss I do that too!! I hate when people do that!!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Spoken like a true Yankee. :P

[about-a-blonde.livejournal.com]

damn people!
I get furious when I see them fly up the lane and then someone LETS THEM IN. its times like those that I wish I drove a plow.

[4hour-ramona.livejournal.com]

i'm thinking b because it involves crossing less lanes of traffic.

but then, i don't drive so what do i know?

[hauntedskipper.livejournal.com]

What a curious traffic situation.
And, am I to understand that both A and B are designated solely to one direction at a time?
By looking at the diagram, my first thought was that maybe B was for one direction to turn and A was for the other.

If not, here is my second guess...
Maybe B is designated for U Turns and A is designated for going straight across to a joining street?
You sometime's run into that situation in Manhattan on the One Way streets.
Of course, Manhattan is a free-for-all all the way around when it comes to driving.
"Lanes? What the fuck are lanes? Just get the fuck out of my way, you fucking fuck!"

And,
"He sometime's bites my vagina... it doesn't hurt, only little pinch... "
Hmmm, great ice-breaker for a cocktail party.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Well, this is really just a big open spot--nothing's marked, and there's not that division between A and B like I drew. But I assume one direction of traffic is supposed to go to one side, and one to the other.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I confused people with the way I drew it. It doesn't involve crossing lanes of traffic; it's really just an big open spot in the median. The problem is that nothing's marked, so it's kind of a free-for-all. I think they're more common down here.

[theodicy.livejournal.com]

Hummmm. I'm thinking B and going with that - purely on instinct, cuz it's not like anything's labeled, yanno? And also: I doubt they even had these thangs when we took the driver's ed.

Here's what I love in California: turn-lanes. Everyplace.

Mostly when I turn, though, I wait till nothing's coming and then I do whatever I want. Shhh.
