    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    Some of those people get stuck on language in the drivers manual about only entering the intersection if you are able to complete your turn. But my drivers ed teacher even confirmed that pulling into the intersection on the green and completing on the yellow if necessary is the correct move...

    Let’s talk about Rush

    Luckily Neil Peart didn't have that attitude. He was great because he recognized his entire life that there were still things he could learn and sought out other drummers to learn from them. Some were genuinely shocked that this legend was coming to them, asking questions and trying to learn...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    Snow rarely gets to the point in the metro where travel becomes extremely dangerous. With ice it doesn't matter if you are in the metro or out state travel is out. I live in the Twin Cities, my BIL in KC. I'll take the snow. Agree to disagree...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    It is also one of the few markets to have all of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and MLS teams. I think since recent MLS expansion it is up to 10 markets nationally.

    Maybe, but there is an astonishing number of drivers who don't regularly check their mirrors. So is it just redundant and unnecessary or an ******* move?

    I will use frozen garden tomatoes and peppers in my winter chili until they run out.

    So how long before we get KC and Lew riding reindeer pics?

    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    Just curious, does anyone else do "flash to pass"? I usually come up on someone in the left lane and give them a few moments to notice and move over. If they don't (and clearly have room to move over) I give them a quick flash of the headlights to let them know I am there. Then if all else...

    I'm sure it predates smart phones. Some guy grabbed a woman's camera when she wasn't looking and snapped a photo so later a surprise developed.

    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    I never suggested that they are a panacea. But in the right applications they are great, especially during off times when drivers are sitting at redlights with nobody else around. Mine is where the four main streets in a neighborhood come together. Generally would have a 4 way stop, but the...

    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    I have mentioned this before in other threads, but I live about a block from the first roundabout in the entire state of Minnesota. In my over 20 years living here and averaging multiple transits of that baby a day I have had to come to a complete stop probably only a handful of times a year...

    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    I tend to have a bit of a lead foot and I genuinely appreciate those who are alert and move back into the right lane when they can. I will generally (where possible) momentarily speed up a bit to prevent the kind fellow motorist from having to slow down after yielding the passing lane to me. I...

    Just highlights the importance of getting the "right" players rather than the "best" players.
