Michigan Left

Many intersections in Michigan do not have a left turn lane. Instead, they have what is known as the 'Michigan Left'. Option #1 is shown in this picture where you go straight past the intersection, perform a U-turn, and then make a right. Option #2 is to make a right at the intersection and then perform a U-turn.

Airplane Isle Seat

The isle seat is great for leg space and being able to stand up whenever you wish. However, there is one downside: the foot/storage space below the seat in front is limited. It's a bit narrower than the middle seat. Now that I think about it, it's probably about the same as the window seat... I'll have to check the next time I'm on a plane.

Packaging Inefficiency

Two little v-band clamps in a big ole box. Oh, and a lot of paper to take up the extra space.

Second Day Soreness

After a good and hard weight workout, you'd think the next day would have the most soreness. However, for some reason, the major soreness doesn't hit until two days later. I've even read of some people getting in a moderate workout the next day before the major soreness hits the second day after.

When Cars Were Simple

The Ferrari F40, one of my all-time favorite cars. It was back when cars were simple.



Check out the interior. Really simple, a good ole manual shifter with metal gate, with minimal switches and window hand cranks even!


In contrast is the new Lamborghini Super Trofeo Stradale.



There's a row of 7 or 8 switches in the middle, plus another 10 buttons or so which I think are for the climate control. Below that, another three buttons and a knob. Below that, another 4 buttons for who knows what. And this thing has paddle shifters, so gone is the shift lever.
