Seems like a strange subject for a T-shirt.

I just re-joined FR and I would like to post to my local NC state board but I am not able to. How do I get the ability to do that?
A wave of “duh” driving the roads, all showing up at my job.
Actually, I think GPS systems were invented by women. They figured technology could get men to ask for directions.
In, at last. I’ve been up for a while, but it’s very dark out (overcast, dontchaknow) and I had to get my pills set up for the next five days.
Busdaddy has been suffering from a toothache and a migraine, and took the day off yesterday. He had to call 911 during the night, but tried to go to work, anyway, and called me at Oh-Dark-Thirty to tell me he was at the bus yard and was going back home.
I sent him a text a while ago but got no answer. I will get a few things done here, then go over to check on him. I won’t stay the night, as I will go over again tomorrow to do my laundry, then Friday, we are going to CA to pick up the engine for the racecar. Though I could put enough food and water out for Sparkle for three days, I will have to think about it.
Men are such babies when they don’t feel good.
I resemble that remark.
I think it has to do with us as mothers...we baby the boys when they are ill, and they think ALL mothers owe them that babying. Yah, like that.
No insult. I take the blame for the baby my son is when he is ill. The difference is that I don’t have to mother him; he was a wife to do that!
I think we think it’s payback. We risked our lives creating civilization so you could live your lives without being afraid of being attacked all day.
When we do finally need to slow down we want the reward.
OK. Your explanation sounds more macho than mine does...
;o]
Back from the gym, off to the shower. Later I’m taking the boys to The Salvation Army to look for more rock band t-shirts.
At Busdaddy’s. He’s sleeping, thank goodness, and isn’t running a fever. I was afraid he was coming down with that ugly “something” that has been making the rounds.
I won’t be here but a few hours. I want him to wake up on his own and tell me he feels better.
At that point, I can leave.
All too often I have had drivers ignore what signage and their eyes told them all because the robot told them to go there.
It is amazing what people will do simply because a stupidbot told them to do it.
I doubt driverless vehicles will be any better.
Plus, I doubt they would avoid road hazards like deer, elk, moose, bear, road debris, etc.
Seems like a strange subject for a T-shirt.
When “something” is making the rounds, even the most macho find other places to be.
I bet they handle the unexpected better than we do.
Finding their way ... not so much.
When crossing the GW Bridge from New Jersey into Manhattan you have lots of choices. If you want to head down the West Side Highway you stay in the right lane.
Unleses you’re on the lower level, in which case you stay in the left lane.
The GPS apparently can’t tell that difference in altitude and has stranded many a driver in the wrong lane when they get to the end of the bridge.
Heh.
I hope it works out! Are you feeling better? I’m still sneezing.
I keep taking Benedryl when I start to sneeze again, so that helps the worst of it. When I get home, I will have a breathing treatment.
Something is wrong with my portable nebulizer here, and it sounds like the compressor is working, but no vapor comes out. If it is truly defective, I will have to replace it before I come to visit.
Considering the things I’ve seen?
Probably not.
“Pothole? What pothole?” -carbot.
“AAAAAAIGH!” -occupants.
There’s no excuse for that. Potholes aren’t even the unexpected, they’re a way of life.
But you’re right, people remain much better. Grandpa was the best.
Good old Grandpa. When I die I want it to be in my sleep like it was for him. Not screaming in panic like his passengers.
LOL.
Current sensor technology can’t see potholes, and barely reacts to wildlife.
It’s surprising. They must be using the wrong stuff.
I will say that waaaaaaaaay back in the 80s I attended a conference sponsored by Sen. Robert Byrd (in the Byrd auditorium in Byrdville, WV) discussing military technology. One of the talks was about the attempts to introduce AI into the fighter cockpit. One initiative was to determine when the pilot was unconscious so the plane could take over and put itself into a level, slow turn until the pilot woke up.
The problem they had was distinguishing between unconscious pilots and pilots in their normal, non-combat flying state.
That sounds like a punch line, but it’s true. Fighter pilots are very relaxed when flying until the action starts.
