Parents, beware! Your kids may look okay when they leave the house in the morning, but once they’re out of your sight, they’re popping their collars and twisting the bills of their hats to the side at angles not evenly divisible by 90 degrees!
I wasn’t going to post this, but my family found it pretty funny, so what the heck
As I was driving down the street yesterday, a car came onto the road from a cross street. I had a green light at that intersection at the time, and the thought occurred to me that he had turned left onto my street on a red light.
With no turn signal.
Every day in this city, millions of turns occur without signals. A thought occurred to me yesterday. Turn signals are so important to safety and traffic flow, that in driver education they teach an emergency protocol for dealing with a broken signal. Most people are at least generally familiar with these hand signals, which are the same used on bikes, snowmobiles, and other vehicles somtimes lacking signals.
And yet, nobody uses them in New Orleans. I’ve long since given up trusting people’s turn signals here, so I don’t know why it still bugs me. Maybe it’s just so ingrained from learning to drive in Michigan.
Be warned: lemon pepper + vegetable stir-fry medley = not nearly as good as you might think
Or maybe you’re not dumb enough to think it would be good. Like me. I defend myself by saying that I was skeptical but adventurous. After all, it was edible, but the good old chinese trinity of soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (vs. lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper and a little honey) would have been better.
I mean, lemon pepper is great on fish and maybe chicken. Vegetable medley? Uh-uh.
Worked from 7:15 to 21:30 today.
Long day.
Dinner’s almost done, and man am I hungry.
Playing catch-up blows. Almost makes the conference trip not worth it…
but not quite.
I asked Sam (my roommate) this morning why his sausage from the asian market wasn’t refrigerated. Typical Sam response:
You don’t have to refrigerate anything — Chinese people are geniuses!
