So I went to school on the freeway today.

Because it's faster. Duh.

Ya, and the moment I got on I was allready throwing on my brakes and chugging along at 15 mph. This continued for about 20 minutes and I was getting really nervous about being extremely late to school and I was beginning to think that I should get off, but all of a sudden I see the end of the traffic.

The cause? One car in one lane that was apparently stalled. How can one car have such a big effect on traffic? I mean sure, I'd understand a slowdown to like 40 mph, but 15? Damn... that's why I hate driving the freeways.

Of course, it all makes up for it once you pass the cause of a traffic jam. When you hit the accellerator and go from 20 to 80 in a couple of seconds to blaring techno.. well, there isnt a word to describe the feeling you get from it. It's good though.

Courtesy of the Troy PTSA (I think), I have a new accessory for my car. I call it the 'g-meter':

The thing hanging off of my hawaii necklace

Ya, I love this thing because it gives me a sense of how tight I'm taking turns. For example, I was going around the bend at the Chapman->Orangethorpe junction at about 60 today and the g-meter was flying out to about here:

And I was really proud of myself. I figure if I can get the thing to knock on the ceiling if I pull about .8 g's in a turn, so that's my goal. I'll keep you updated.

..lj..
Yahoo tells me that it's going to pour tommorow. POUR.









Ya. I know believe them either.









PROVE ME WRONG GOD!!!
