Traffic was stopped on Chandler the other day for 3 old people crossing the road where Irving connects. Some douche on a green dirt bike split the lanes and almost hit the group. There was a cop in an Explorer turning left onto Chandler from Irving who had to have seen it but did nothing.

I wonder if we saw the same one! I saw a black truck going about 70 to 80 mph and a giant piece of ice flew off his car go into the air and land on the side of the road.

Couple of years ago I bought a large push broom that is used for the sole purpose of cleaning off the tops of our vehicles. Works just as well on the Dodge SUV as it does on the Subaru. People are lazy af

Are you suggesting new laws? We very well can't have new laws without catchy and sentimental names - come on, man!

You seen the list of laws we currently have? They're numbered and lettered - and we've used up all the numbers and letters. We're currently in the "child names" section of law names, and there are only so many catchy and sentimental names so we need to be a little stingy when it comes to new laws and regulations.

We could have an emergency Senate hearing or something that would enact the little used "fuzzy animal" clause of State Statute Eleanor 43b, from 1946, that would let us name laws after fuzzy animals instead of dead children. But that's only temporary in nature and it would expire in 12 months without overriding Senate Guideline Eleanor Gertrude Humphries. Of course, that would trigger the little used William J Eastman statue (penned in honor of little "Billy East" back in '71) so a second vote would have to be taken within 12 months. This is known both in the Senate and the House as the "Irish Twins" law. It's pretty controversial and is usually seen as a last ditch effort to preserve "God's Will" (although that can't be directly stated by politicians). Usually these types of laws do more harm than good, but it's not the law's fault - it's usually just that the enforcement agencies aren't equipped to deal with changes these significant in such a rapid-fire manner.

Anyway, what was I saying? I don't know how I got on a tangent about our official legal system.

I mean that's a whole other conversation entirely and I agree with you. Waiting for the time that I get to move back to somewhere with good public transit and I can just sell off my car.

It's almost like it's silly that our commute demands relying on everyone upkeeping and competently operating their personal vehicle while half caffeinated in their morning rush.
