Organ you gonna reply?

"The thing's hollow—it goes on forever—and—oh my God—it's full of stars!"

Oh, pipe down, will ya?!

I appreciate the warning! I've got to pay more attention the next time I drive so I can see the phenomena you're talking about. What's the solution? If I turn, while I be able to see the long view? Or will large vehicles still block that sight line?

When I took driver's ed a long time ago, my driving instructor taught our class to turn and look before merging or changing lanes. I don't even remember him addressing the side mirrors. (Erroneously, I set them to look down the sides of the vehicle.)

Gak. I hope she isn't visiting Pokey.

This sounds familiar. FieldsofEurope?

Are you related to Swifter? And did you enjoy Slate's piece on Plaza today?

Interesting. Why such love for the Toyota Way, but no love for the product it produces? (Is your lack of love about style or substance?)

I was suggesting its use as a giant laser speed gun (to measure the speed of cars, but not destroy them). However, it was all in jest anyway.

That's an interesting question. When a post is listed in "Related Stories," should the clock start over regarding accusations of necroposting? I say, yes.

...and please make sure, as illustrated, to limb from the underside of the branch collar, not the top. Also, don't stand on the downhill side, plan an escape route, etc.

Fortunately, it's not against union work rules for the custodian to wipe up.

Those are super, but I've noticed that some of the newer single nozzle hand dryers blast like jets and sound just as loud. When several are in use simultaneously, I think there is a definite violation of OSHA (if not FAA) rules. I've been meaning to use my sound meter app to measure the noise level.

Don't forget to use the same paper towel as a cover on the door handle when you exit the restroom. Otherwise, you shouldn't bother washing your hands (because those who don't will nullify your noble effort at good public hygiene).

Well, they're pretty good for keeping debris and moisture from entering your muzzle, too.

Agreed: Chemicals there? Not nice. Natural earthiness? Lovely.
