My students use “YOLO” all the time. Seriously. It’s their favorite acronym. One of them tried to let me use it as one of her new vocab words.

getting ready to go from a 4 way stop and an approaching car that looks like it might blow through? That is why I have a GD horn and I will LAY ON IT! I might all yell MY TURN MF, MY F'IN TURN! and shake my fist. Ford Focus OF DOOOM!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
at the grocery store this evening, I did a msbelle. the person blew through the stop sign at the entrance to the store. She had her windows wide open. I yelled into her truck: "you are supposed to stop!"

Earl Grey does not make good iced tea, but I kind of figured that and made it anyway. It'll do for the time being.
I love roundabouts. I think I call them traffic circles, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't understand the roundabout and I won't respond to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same dif!
I was walking out across the street yesterday at a place where the cars don't think they need to stop at the red light, and there happened to be a dude on my left (toward the cars), so I ended up saying to him, "THEY HAVE THE RED LIGHT." I would have just said it to the air, honestly. Because they HAVE A RED LIGHT.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I call them both, because I am confused.
There's one roundaout near Portsmouth, NH, that is enormous and frightening, and I've always driven it at night, which is extra scary. I can't see how a three or four laned traffic circle is safer than a traffic-lighted intersection. But I also live in NJ, and can't understand how a jug-handle with an unprotected left turn with the clearance of two car lengths is safer than a green left arrow.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
On campus there are so many crosswalks that have "stop for pedestrian in crosswalk" that people just blow through, and I always point at the sign and yell "I HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!"

Because books.
I never loved traffic circles, and we had a couple in NJ, where I lived. Here we have four-way stops everywhere, and two-way in the borough where there are a lot of intersecting one-way streets. Driving through town is constant stop and start.
