I wonder if Wyoming's problem is caused by Montanans driving across state lines.

I think most of Wyoming's driving fatalities are single car rollovers.  Long empty roads, high speeds, drop two wheels off the pavement and overcorrect - death because the goob wasn't wearing a seat belt.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Yeah we have the most foreclosures because we passed a law making it hard to process them and they've been piling up ever since 2011.

Funny how states known for having tougher crime laws tend to have more crime. I wonder which way the correlation goes...

I hate Newfoundland 'cause they talk so weird
And Prince Edward Island is... too small
Nova Scotia's dumb 'cause it's the name of a bank
New Brunswick doesn't have a good mall
Quebec is revolting and it makes me mad
Ontario sucks, Ontario sucks
The population density of Manitoba is 1.4 people per square kilometre, isn't that stupid?
Saskatchewan is boring and the people are old
And as for the Territories:  They're too cold!
And the only good thing about the province of British Columbia is that it's right next to us
'Cause Albertaaaaaa doesn't suck
But Calgary doesss.

Is an average daily commute of 30 minutes that bad? :huh:

About 25 minutes too long, yes.

How so? I don't think most people work at home.

I don't either.  Office is five minutes by car, twenty-five by foot.

That's five minutes once in the car though right and is that to desk or just to parking lot?

For instance I say my commute is 15 minutes but that's walking out my door to sitting in my cube.

Fair enough, I guess it's more like eight minutes.

Busted.  I'll admit it.  I'm not actually a Dominican monk from Ferrara.   :(


In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
