I anxiously await thine updates. :-)

So much to ask… so not the place to ask it. ;-)

I’m assuming you’re at NYTD?

Very funny and well written. I can see how you fought your way to the top of the heap of people attempting to be photographed with Pulitzer-prize winners.

Welcome to the America that Reagan created. Personal responsibility is for people without money.

we blame the SUV’s for a lot, but i think we forget to target the full-size truck and full-size van crowd as well. Same motors, often same drive lines… why only the flack on the SUV?

Please. Look out your window. How many SUV’s do you see? Vs. how many trailers? There are a zillion times more SUVs on the road.

True, there is some hate I could spread around, but I find the Trucks usually are a lot more considerate of road usage, mainly because the driver is aware he is driving a large machine (as opposed to the inflated car interiors of SUVs). I also think the sight lines are a bit different for light trucks…

Of course, those white delivery vans are pretty terrible too. They just haven’t hit me yet, thank goodness.

the same could be said for semi-trucks as well then i suppose…

Not saying i’m a fan of wasting recourses, just saying there’s of other things to hate at the same time.

I recently read an old article about SUVs and how they have set safety back (for the drivers of SUVs and people around them). It raises some interesting, as well as unsettling, points about the motivation of the car makers and the people who buy SUVs.

Glad to hear your dog is ok. My labrador retriever tore both her ACLs just by running about – she had them both operated on and is now fine

Well, I suppose I cheated in some sense in that some of those books were graphic novels or technical books I had to read for work. Still, I think this shows you can’t count out the 5 hours a week I spend commuting on the subway!
