With the exception of the driving thing, same here. Transcripts are my friend and if I have to watch a video because there isn't one, I hope for decent closed captions and speed control so I can crank it faster so my attention wanders less.

If audiobooks work better for many people, that's great, but some of us are text-driven because it works best for us. I read extremely fast with great retention; audiobooks are blah, blah, blah annoying noise for me at best and the info doesn't stick as well. This is why we need multiple formats.

Apparently not being into Pi Day, Chuck Schumer decided to celebrate Ides-Of-March Eve instead, and led his 9 craven colleagues in stabbing to death the last gasps of democracy on Capitol Hill. Droolius Caesar is delighted.

The EPA's IRIS program assesses the toxicity of chemicals, estimating the amount of each that triggers cancer and other health effects. Its database powered our map.

We give our crow crew leftover wet cat food (our elderly cat tends to leave some behind) and cat kibble on the back deck.

Hop the bus to Edmonds and play tourist or walk on the ferry for a cheap boat ride and wander through Kingston for a bit before coming back (no one says they need to stay in Lynnwood, after all)

That's what public libraries with online resources are for -- depends where you live, but for most US libraries, the NYT is likely to either be a stand-alone database link or part of a major news source database (yes, not everything is in those, but a lot is).

B please -- it can be really frustrating when patterns retire and you desperately want to make that design and have the crochet skills to do so.

Was there a Chirrup on the 1st (and I need to go hunt through spam filters) or is it coming out on the 7th?

Well I'm sure many of the trapped passengers would consider it a form of torture, but ideally it would be dealt with less extremely. Also religious zealots carrying on on airplanes tend to make people nervous nowadays.
