LabattBlue Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 I realize traffic lights on two way roads can’t be 100% synchronized(like they could on a one way street), but you think more effort could be put into timing signals so that traffic on the busier of two roads that intersect, has the green light for greater amounts of time. 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also lived in the upstairs flat with no A/C. Huh? I grew up in Buffalo and i spend most of the summer there these days. Why? Because while the heat and humidity in a Buffalo summer exists, it is nothing compared to the Southern States and the Midwest. Not even close. Many (but not all) hot humid days end with cooler and pleasant evenings, especially if you live near the Lake or the River. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Summers have a few brief stretches of hot days but the vast majority are great from May until early October. I spend 5 months on my deck and consider that entire time " Summer ", which I can do in retirement. I lived in Maryland and Florida during my Military days. I detested those summers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try and avoid them, I am allergic and carry my epipen everywhere. I got stung dozens of times before but developed the allergy about 2 years ago. I came to after collapsing in the yard, home alone, after who knows how long being unconscious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ages ago I went to school with the Erie county deputy commissioner of highways. I wonder what leads one to that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 I hate being a quantum jumper. I go into a room looking for something, search the entire room, it’s not there. I turn to leave, stop, turn around, and it’s right there. One moment, I’m in the reality where it’s not there, the very next moment, I’m in the reality where it is. It sure wastes a lot of my time and it’s exhausting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling her to stop doing that (she doesn’t bring it to the doctor though). The same thing always tells you that you either have a pulled muscle or late stage cancer.

The distrust of doctors and science is a direct result of the attacks on doctors and science over the last 4 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted July 18 Author Report Share Posted July 18 (edited) NYS license plates. Disgusting. I have never seen another states plates that are falling apart(finish peeling off). Not sure of the root cause, but will aways be suspicious when the plates are made by Corcraft(NYS Prisoners). Then NYS says if you want the same plate number for a replacement, open your wallet. 🖕🏻 Edited July 18 by LabattBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Bob Newhart passed away today. IMHO he was the funniest human alive. What a sad day. Unfortunately the Button Down Mind won't be striking again. RIP Dr. Hartley & Dick Laudon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
