That looks to be 20 lanes per side. Nightmare!

I don't think bike lanes are included....

Maybe Los Angeles needs more highways like this one!

Sadly, city studies show adding lanes to already congested areas only increases congestion.

I absolutely could not fall asleep last night.

I read a little bit, both online and offline. Then I laid there with TCM on at very low volume, listening to (but only putting my glasses on to watch a few key scenes, because how can you not?) Psycho and North by Northwest, just to get drowsy. That must have finally worked because I woke later to something a little bit familiar that I recognized as RoboCop but it turned out to be RoboCop 2 which I don't think I'd ever seen. That was in the middle of the night and I turned the TV off. A little while later I was awakened by a slight "ching" as I turned in bed and adjusted the covers, flinging my glasses onto the carpet. I'm always very careful about where I put them before going to sleep, but in the wee hours I'd apparently just taken them off and laid them on top of the comforter.

Anyway, boys and girls, that's my story.

I somehow had to read a lot of traffic theory for a grad class. I don’t remember what the subject of the class was.

That's an amazing image.

Apparently it's a new highway from Beijing to Hong Kong. I have not independently verified that.

I was only being facetious, DR John G., but I do believe you.

This made me think of some of our DRs...

People not knowing where they're going, changing lanes and causing speed fluctuations are part of the problem. In other words, people, not cars, cause congestion. Go figure.

I was a bit annoyed at the COOL link posted yesterday.....turning the song into a bunch of solo dances kind of lessens the value and intent of the piece.....it also pretty much destroys the build to the end......

Jrand74 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 06, 2021, 09:14:47 AM »

I was watching some TCM myself....I have also done the glasses flip that was described by DR CHAS SMITH.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 06, 2021, 09:15:51 AM »

I did buy myself a small plastic basket to put the remotes in (TV, cable, Blu Ray player) and that is where my glasses spend their night.....the basket itself sets on the bed to my left.....

I haven't looked at the basketball games being broadcast today, so I shall check that out soon.

The first chapter of my Annabelle and Thatch book is driving me mad, but I think I'm getting vloser to cracking it. I just spent the last hour wrestling with it. I'm very happy with the rest of the book, but I'm not yet sure I've replaced "Love is in the Air" with "Comedy Tonight!"

Comedy Tonight. Could be the title of my autobiography, only without the fun.

I finished season 1 of Great British Baking Show. Well, at least the season that was on pbs.org.

I finally ordered a patio umbrella. I now need to go get a stand.

I liked them but also found them really, really sweet. Which isn't a bad thing for most.

My masochistic side is showing in my reading material. For some reason, I have started The Mysteries of Udolpho, a 19th century novel said to be the first Gothic novel. It's 600 pages and I'm almost 100 pages into it, but it's slow going. And repetitive. But I'm oddly fascinated by it.

John G. · « **Reply #54 on:** March 06, 2021, 10:37:08 AM »

But I need to run some errands.

Many people don't know that in Stephen Foster's first draft, the song title was I Dream of Jane with the Light, Frizzy Hair.
