Berkeley. Yeah, that makes sense.

Wait a minute, I didn’t do any research into the ownership of Cats and Volvos. Mine was about Whippets and trucks.

Link or it didn’t happen.

Perhaps he needs to get a truck. No one bats an eye at the sight of a dog in the back of a truck.

In most states, taking defensive driving keeps the ticket off your record. That means no points on my license and a big difference in my insurance rates. My insurance company also offers a discount if you take defensive driving every couple of years. They never ask why you took the class, they just take the…

I’ll admit that I’ve been to court many times, especially in my younger days. Back then, I went to defensive driving every year to get rid of tickets (one year I went twice - the law only allowed once per year, but the judge said it was ok as long as he ordered it). In all those years, everyone was given the same…

I love all the rich guy equals light sentence comments. I’m not rich, but when I was nabbed for 20+ over (speed trap on an interstate), I asked for defensive driving and received it. No dings on my license and I just had to pay for the class and court costs. Everyone in the courtroom was doing the same thing....

“That’s a chick car!” - Said to every Miata owner ever.

I don’t doubt this is true for your undergraduate work, but this is an exception, not the rule. Smart people rarely realize that they are smart enough to get by without the same level of effort. It may also be that your professors didn’t have high enough expectations. I come at this from two perspectives - as a former…

You can’t expect to learn everything you need to know for a particular class in the lectures. The books are there for a reason. You’re supposed to read them and come to class prepared to discuss the material.

Perhaps you need to reconsider. After all, you’re wrong about the turkey.

Let’s not forget, everything is Pachelbel.

Your comment was cropped a little more than I intended. Let me try this again:

“Houston is far too inland to see storm surge.

*pssst* the name’s Buck.... :)

*pssst* um, no. Rainwater is from evaporated seawater. The evaporation process leaves the salt behind.
