I truly wish there was retests every 5 years for all drivers. I want getting and retaining a DL to be one of the hardest things possible

 

[CTC B4Z]

And not ******** pencil paper tests. Driving simulations.

You are guilty of 'failure to yield right of way' in this situation. Even if you are over the speed limit if someone comes up from behind you are supposed to move over to allow them to pass.

But I always have to remember that in the greater region around Mordor, people can't read their driver's manuals so they never learned that lesson.

It isn't on there. Pretty much every Metro area where I have driven in the US is the same. The more people there are, the more rude and self-centered they seem to tend to be.

I agree, unless I too, am passing someone also. I know if I get over, the 100 mph guy is going to catch up and pace me at 85 and make me brake off my cruise control. He can wait a min...

So after about thirty years of drinking coffee, I found out today, that light roasted coffee had more caffeine than medium or dark. Crazy world, this stuff looks like tea, but I think it is more zippy. Coworker brought in some beans today from his trip to Costa Rica. Bing, bang, boom

That's the cocaine.

That explains a lot, thanks. Zing, Zang, Zoom

If ya just stay home locked up due to cv life for jedi would b so much easier.

Jedi misses march/April 2020 when you could do 100+, see 1 to 2 other cars, pass the IL state trooper on side of road and he could care less. At ANY time of the day!

It's a nine. Sorry, I don't believe I have have ever made a nine like that. I know they stopped showing my kids which way to make letters, due to the no more cursive thing. Teacher had sent home a lesson where we should play a game with kids on making letter outlines on each other's back using a finger. I'm not sure either of us guessed one right. Most everything started at a different location from my kids. 9 year old is pretty smart, thinking back, now I'm not sure who was right or wrong?

Costa Rican coffee is the ****. When we were there about 20 years ago, I brought back a whole suitcase of it for gifts and to use whatever was left at home. At the hotel gift shops it was $20/lb, but in the little grocery stores on the side streets, you could get a 1lb bag for $1.

Not something you see everyday laying in your backyard.
It's still alive. Chatters when I spread its wings out

Had one in the driveway one morning a couple years ago. When it noticed me, it started making noise and flapping. Unfortunately, it had a broken wing, so it got a quick bonk with a shovel and a burial in the flower garden.

 

[d.kaufman]

Wife mowed around 2pm. Found it at 4:30. Wings seem to be intact. Gonna give it till a little after dusk. If not gone it will get the bonk with a shovel and go in the garbage.

Really prefer it to live since they help with the bugs. 12 years here and first bat I've seen and I'm outside a lot after dusk

Edit: Apparently bats can't take off from the ground. They need a minimum of 5ft of height. After dinner I'll stick it in a tree and see what happens

 

[CTC B4Z]

I thought you're definitely supposed to report downed bats?

 

[d.kaufman]

Hell if I know, nor do I care about some stupid law regarding bats.

I set it on top my shed and it flew off within a couple minutes
