7 over??? That was true in NY in the 1970's. I recall my mom talking about when she received a speeding ticket for going 62 in a 55.

Her brother was chasing her in the street and on the sidewalk, and then she darted back out into the street and collided with an oncoming car. She flew through the air like a baton. The car wasn't actually speeding. It's just that a car with its mass exerts a lot of energy (E = 1/2 mv2). She survived it and is okay today, but what an ordeal that was for her and her family. Therefore, on residential roads, I always creep, often less than the speed limit, especially when parked cars block my view.
i know wat you meant, it was a joke. i have un-supervised screaming indian kids roaming around our community often. they run across the street like if it's their playground. where are their f-king parents??!!! HOA made several claims to their parens, but still, they are screwing around on the streets.

ive witnessed a lady get hit j-walking downtown about two decades ago. some guy in a mustang (of all cars) was going maybe 25mph through the busy intersection, he had the right of way... when she got hit, she flew up into the air maybe 4-5ft and ended up hitting the guy's windshield with her head. lady held her head as she rolled off the hood, but appeared to only suffer minor external injuries. the guy was also holding his head confused wtf just happened.

Uneventful drive into work today so I have nothing exciting to report on that end.

I did get to turn off a full three racks worth of servers, backup drives and other supporting equipment for an antiquated Heathcare system this morning! That's a rare occurance! The hospital in question has migrated off that system over six years ago!

Have a great day all!

If you're driving the z, no drive is uneventful

In states where they are so fiscally screwed up due to bad policies and politicians, they will ticket you for going 3 miles over the limit..

Due to the almighty dollar, the grace period of 5 miles an hour over is gone...

Oh and Good morning to all you crazy Z Fanatics..

You young whipper snapper, we old geezers rule the road...Just Kidding.

I lived near a retirement community and you could not walk through the Safeway parking lot without almost being killed by a Blue hair in a BIG Cadillac.

I walked over to yell at a few once, and the look of surprise and lack of cognitive thinking in their eyes told me all I need to know..

Don't put them on your ignore list, because they will run you over...Blue hair alert....

that's the danger of these old folks who can't drive (not all cause my pops is old and he can drive fine)...

they innocently dont understand they almost caused a very serious accident. they need to be tested annually for driving after reaching 65 (or earlier?). yes it's a pita for them but they're retired, have plenty of time. just get out of the way when we working folks are out and about trying to fix the damn economy they keep trying to suck money out of.

yah, not sure wat it was this am coming across 2 only within like a miles of each other. i thought the first one was bad enough, and then another.

anyway, my G's modded and dialed-in so she handled the incidents like a champ, but i dont like making such manuvers going to work.

I totally agree with almost all of your statement. Yes they need to be tested annually..

I am retired at 50, now 52, and I get out of everyone's way, unless I am on the Track. I understand people need to get things done and make a buck, so I haven't forgotten what it is Like.

Only the last statement I can't agree with. I have plenty of retirement money, but I will be damn sure to take my Social Security at 62, because it is my money.

Sure by then, then will "means' test it so they can punish those of us who spent a lifetime saving and investing, just so they can give it to people that either never saved, or never put into the system at all.

I will be punished for doing the right things.

True it is one giant Ponzi scheme, but these people paid into the system and the economy is not their fault...It is the Voters fault..

But everything else, you are right on target..

P.S. I think we need to stay on Z stuff...I don't want to get banned and shunned from society any more than I already am....
