I'm still a year or two away from having the funds and a passport but I will be making a pilrgimage to Tuscon at some point. Sounds like that place could do with a healthy dose of me :evil:

Of course, if you're here in the spring (October - March), it's usually not far over 100F.  Which is something like 10 hectares in metric.

Oh, dear.  Sounds like a mob in the making.   :lulz:

Hate you all.

Watching debate.  I spat wine on my keyboard in the first exchange, when Romney said "promoting gender equality" is one of the keys to getting those durned Muslims straight.

I liked the part when Romney was saying that the air force has less planes than in 1947, so Obama said something like "Yes, and the military has fewer horses too, we have high tech stuff now".

It's 5 fucking :22 in the morning. I am at the airport, waiting for kinda-sorta to arrive. I've had too little sleep, as usual, and way too much caffeine. I am also cold to the bones, and my paycheck is late.

Man I feel lucky.

So I'm driving down a highway.  It's just before 4:30 so the traffic is still pretty light.  It's just two other cars and mine, the two cars slightly ahead of me.  I'm in the far right lane.  One's in the middle.  And the other's in the left lane. 

Since there wasn't much traffic I was kind of off in my own head, lost in my thoughts.  I wasn't totally tuned out like when you're daydreaming.  I was in that place where you're still aware of what's happening around you, but you're not completely focused on your surroundings.  Ironically, I was thinking about how I want to join the navy and hope I get to sometime before I die.  Which led me to thinking about Death (the personification not the concept), the Danse Macabre, and the idea behind that about how death is universal and how you never know when it's your time.

Anyways, so I see a lot of sets of headlights.  I don't give them much attention since it's just the cars on the other side of the highway.  As we're rounding a curve, I see the brake lights on the two cars to my left light up.  That snaps my attention back to what's happening around me.  All of a sudden a pair of headlights in the far left lane, which I thought was on the other side of the highway, swerves in front of the other two cars towards my lane.  Some jackass was heading the wrong way on the highway.  Before my brain had time to register what was happening, the car swerved out of my lane, did a U-turn, and sped off down a turnpike that we were quickly approaching a second before I reached where he had been.

Now there's a concrete barrier between the two sides of the highway so I don't know if the idiot had missed his exit and didn't have a single brain cell to tell him turning around on the highway and giving the exit a second go was a stupid idea.  Or if it was someone wanting to kill himself and decided at the last second he wanted to live (a popular form of suicide here is to drive the wrong way down a highway and slam head first into oncoming traffic).  But if he hadn't turned I know for a fact that my brain wouldn't have processed the scene and then an appropriate response quickly enough for me not to run into him going seventy miles per hour.  I would've been fucked.

I just can't wrap my head around the idea that someone made the conscious decision to go down the wrong side of one of the busier highways in the city.  And on top of that to decide to do it on one of the highway's few curves/turns so you can't even see what's fucking coming.  I simply can't understand how someone could be so fucking brain dead or completely oblivious to the consequences of one's actions that they'd decide to do that.

But hey, even though my experience was nothing close to being a near-death experience, it was enough of a close call for me to feel the frigid air of the Long Winter on the back of my neck and realize I need to double-time my shit if I want to experience life before I'm out of the game for good.

Okay, I've written 2 anon response threads in about 7 days, and my PM box is STILL filling up.

What is wrong with these people?
