I got pulled over for a rolling stop once when I was on a military base. I could either fight it or get 3 points against my driving privileges. I did not fight it but I made a point to stop when on base after that.
I’m always confused when people complain about cyclists not stopping at stop signs.

The vast majority of drivers do a “rolling stop” (i.e., they don’t actually stop) when possible.

This is so normal people don’t even see it as breaking the law, but when cyclists do the same thing, it stands out.

I see our family in this story, and no obvious or reasonable solutions.
Very hard eldercare and logistics is a subject I have extensive experience with. This article nails why it's so hard, including logistics, $, coordination w/ family, $ again, & no one wants to hear you talk about it. The author acknowledges she had a lot of resources others won't. Gift link:

OK - pie discourse - best pie story:

In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*

Most reporters are still living with the imagined version, which is why they're gobsmacked every time the Pope says "you should be welcoming to immigrants" or something. They know the Church is transnational but still want it to be partisan too. For horse race purposes.

The power of American Protestantism's imagined version of Catholicism reigns supreme! It's an infinite wellspring for those with a thirst for defining the nation or defining their own identity, but it only works as long as it remains imagined. Vance is discovering the brochures were lying.
