/rocks back and forth

I'm an excellent driver.

Excellent!

I am a very cautious driver, these days.

Always, I have been one who does an extremely meticulous and "perfect"  job of parking, "no matter how long it takes."

I am not so good at parking either, sometimes, but I have often gotten out of my car and noticed it parked "stupid"  and gotten back in, fired it up and corrected my poor parking.

:hide:

I find that parking slightly diagonal,  or with one wheel on the kerb is expected of me now anyway - so its a win, win situation


mind you i am not this bad

 :clap:

 :clap:



NO! FUCK NO!!!


I would go back and re-park.

FUCK NO!!!

Wanna be extra stupid?

I always allow enough time to park and I am "NEVER"  late.


I am NOT a youth. I am on time (which actually makes me late, but we can talk about that another time.)

The man playing Count Dracula in Nosferatu was Max Schreck, which is very funny, since "Schreck" is German for "horror".  :green:

Orchid was a hardcore punk/scrEMO  band from Massachusetts.

they were awesome, but are no more

I think everyone should listen to scrEmo. It's good for the soul.

The Worcester accent is basically the Boston accent, but not everybody in either city has it.   :orly:

Boston, however, is not at an attitude similar to Barcelona, Rome and Istanbul.

 :plus:   for saying what I was thinking! I'll bet Boston drivers are crazier than drivers in any of those other cities!

In Rome it is safer to cross the street as a blonde.

The main rings of Saturn contain approximately thirty five trillion trillion tons of water, frozen in suspension for the most part, with trillions upon trillions of tons of various other compounds and raw elements. Just accounting for the water alone, this represents about twenty six million times the amount of water on earth, orbiting Saturn.

The Cassini Project has photographed geyser activity, not only upon several of the moons circling Saturn, but within massive conglomerates which orbit as parts of the rings. This indicates, without question, that there is liquid water beneath the surface of many of the moons and massive formations orbiting Saturn.



Sorry, forgot to link the geysers:

If the sun went out it'd take 8 mins 20 s to observe it on Earth.
