Re maps:
ALWAYS check multiple maps.
Years ago, there was a tragic case of a SF family up in snowy mountains. Whatever map they had (paper, IIRC) said that a backroad was open. Problem was, it was closed during the winter. They wound up getting very stuck, and the father died on the way to find help.
The family was eventually found. But IIRC finding was delayed because no one expected them to be on a closed road in the winter.

Lorry drivers on 2 lane motorways who decide to overtake the lorry in front of them, the speed differential being officially “snail’s pace”, and therefor effectively bringing the speed of the M18 down to 55.1 mph for ten minutes or so.
Then they get to a hill and the lorry driver in lane 2 now finds HE is the slowest, and instead of braking and pulling in, he decides to wait for the lorry in lane 1 to pull ahead before he pulls in, thereby bringing the speed of the M18 down to 54.9 mph for another ten minutes.
Thank God for glass sunroofs, so they can see the obscene gesture I make as I go past! ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

Ta. Just wanted to know whether deano had some reasonable grounds for complaint, or whether he was going to deserve some of the withering scorn and contempt I reserve for people who believe that speed limits are mandatory minimums. Carry on.

TICTH (again) earthquakes.
I was sitting here making snowflakes when this wee shake hit. Mag 2.90, but only 5 km deep and 4 kms as the crow flies, so not enough to damage anything except it juddered my mousing hand and now the start button on my computer is at the top right of my screen instead of the bottom left, which is a bit disconcerting.

Deer. They walk across highways, get hit by cars and die, and the driver has them come in the windshield injuring them physically and psychologically. I know we have too much snow so they are looking for easier ways to walk, so also TICTH gun laws that have discouraged deer hunting, and snow itself also TICTH.

TICTH the Michigan state legislature and governor.
Here's what they did. Not to mention shutting out all the protesters and not listening to the people. Of course, it's not a Democratic government at the moment, so you can't expect democracy.
Prop 2 (which would've made a move like this illegal) failed because there were so many proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot, that most voters just voted "no" on all of them. Now this idiotic and misnamed "right-to-work" law, which eviscerates unions, is irrevocable and the people cannot vote on it.
Motherfuckers.

TICTH the disingenuous shits selling pretty stickers for cigarette packets and saying they are giving back "choice" to smokers.
Excuse me? So, for decades and decades, people had to buy their cigarettes in whatever packaging the ciagrette company chose, but now that they have to buy their cigarettes in whatever packing the GOVERNMENT chooses, suddenly consumer choice about decorating the packet is an important principle?

I loathe shopping in actual shops.
I might try to bribe my daughter, but she'll propbably take the bribe money and still grass me up to the missus anyway.

Its those people you might have to meet or talk to. Smelly, unpedictable things. Much better to spend your life in an airconditioned box and oly talk to machines . You confirm my feeling that a lot of right-wing politics is just the outworking of hate. If you don't like people you will try to arrange the world so they can't come near you.

TICTH WW1. At least, I think that's where the trouble started. If a generation of Edinburgh tradesmen hadn't died in the trenches, then maybe this house wouldn't have been gerrybuilt with green timber, indifferent brickwork and a roof designed to move heat from inside to outside as briskly as possible. And I would not be - despite central heating - so sodding cold and raked with draughts the whole sodding time.

Is there mercy or clemency here? Can I redeem someone I've called/condemned/consigned to hell? If so, I wish to un-call my wife's work, as they did let her have the afternoon off work after all (and praised her for her forbearance when she agreed without kicking up a fuss). So she could go, she was happy, older daughter was happy and there was love, peace, hallelujahs and Fabergé eggs all round.
If I can't un-call them, could the flames be at least turned down a little bit for them?

TICTH co-workers who know that vacation can't be carried over to the new year, wait until the last minute, and dump all their unresolved issues and work on me so they can take it now. (Merry fucking Christmas to this loser who vacationed in July.)
There should be a policy that ensures everyone can't take their vacation all at once. Oh wait! There is, but the carry-over policy overrides it.

TICTH my sister, who chose yesterday (my husband's birthday) to text me about which of us will have Mother over for Christmas dinner. Mother is mentally ill, by the way, so neither of us are particularly close to her.
Why wait until now? Why not just pick up the bloody phone and talk to me? And why try stirring up an argument on his birthdaywhen you've had 12 other days in December to do it??? Or was that the point?
We're pretty much resigned to having Mother over at our house this year. However, Mother-in-Law will also be staying with us for the holidays. Being recently bereaved, she's not in a very good state, so it's not ideal to have my Mum there as well. My sister does know all this.
Funny how it all went quiet when I said we'd have Mum on Christmas Day if she does New Year's Day!

I spent hours yesterday and today working on something in Photoshop with layers, gradients and all the rest of it. It's wanted for Monday morning. Just put the finishing touches to it and saved it as a jpg to see how it worked, and found on coming back to it that I'd also accidentally managed to save the psd file as one single file with all layers merged, before closing it, so nothing is editable and nothing can be recovered.
That's what, twelve hours' work or so on a quite slow pc. They'd better like the jpg, that's all I can say.

You even knew it at the time of your own schooling's end. And with the exception of your wiser-than-thou conceit, you turned out okay. So lay off, kay? The kids'll be alright.
