I used to be a lawyer. I got better.

Greater Twin Cities area. Definitely not the lesser Twin Cities, those guys suck.

This is because of climate change, isn't it?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when driving in MN, when you make a right turn from a street with a bike lane, you FIRST MERGE INTO THE BIKE LANE. Don't turn across the lane! www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit...
"(g) Whenever it is necessary for the driver of a motor vehicle to cross a bicycle lane adjacent to the driver's lane of travel to make a turn, the driver shall first signal the movement, then drive the motor vehicle into the bicycle lane prior to making the turn, but only after it is safe to do so. The driver shall then make the turn consistent with any traffic markers, buttons, or signs, yielding the right-of-way to any vehicles or bicycles approaching so close thereto as to constitute an immediate hazard."

Otis B. Driftwood, rumpled tuxedo cat, snoozing in his desk box. He's doing this less and less over time, so I capture it when I can.

This was Wudge, aka Smudge, aka Smudgycheeks. He was among the very, very best of cats.

Screenshot of a Bsky timeline. Tracey No's post shows a wreath of gold and white glass ornaments that vaguely resemble eyeballs. John Moe's post shows an alient frog-like creature covered entirely in eyeballs.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

By sheer volume I think I'm winning.
The cover of Fountains of Wayne's "Out-Of-State Plates" album. Overall a disappointing collection of B-sides, live cuts and album rejects, but redeemed by "The Girl I Can't Forget", "The Man in the Santa Suit" and "I'll Do the Driving".

Otis B. Driftwood, a rumpled tuxedo cat, sits with his front paws tucked in on his blanket. He is sleepy and has still not really figured out this whole spring-forward-fall-back bullshit.
