Since we mentioned stormy weather earlier, may I have a hug, please? Something very anticlimactic just happened. >.< -.-

And here it is. I thought it I left my house right away, I could pick up dinner from my favorite fried chicken place before tonight's (impromptu) severe thunderstorm happened. Everything was going smoothly, but I ended up not only driving into the very storm I thought I could avoid, I missed my turn, on account of the slowed down traffic and how dark it got. x_x So now I'm home and about to prepare one of the dinners I have in my freezer.

Don't worry, I drove defensively and got home safe, as you can tell. :) [tup] I was probably too ticked off to be scared anyway. tongue

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

[up]I'm not American, but may I quote Bill Bryson, a man who spent his adult working life in Britain and returned to his native Des Moines, Iowa, after perhaps two decades living outside the USA. Bill was dismayed as to how his native country was moving to a point where the sole, preferred and almost mandatory method of mobility was the car: trains and public transport had diminished to near invisibility, and above all, using your own legs to actually walk to places now appeared to be a felony. This is quoted in Road Trip Across the Street, for instance:

in Notes from a Big Country, one example involved some of his neighbours being invited to his house for dinner one day and despite living a short way down the street they drove there. Bryson mentions jokingly asking if they go shopping via light aircraft. He then brought it up again in A Walk in the Woods, in an even more ironic/ridiculous example — a friend who complains about how tough it is to get parking at the gym when she lives only 5-10 minutes away on foot. When he points out that she should just walk, and save herself the parking headache (as well as spending a little less time on the treadmill) she looks at him as if he's crazy, saying that the treadmill has her whole "program" on it, and it can be adjusted for difficulty.

There are other bits of Bryson cited at various points around the wiki concerning Americans and walking. But Notes From A Big Country, about how an American who went native in rural Britain adjusts to returning home, is well worth a look!

I wonder where I rank in the line of succession to the British throne. I mean, I have some European ancestry so I might be in the top billion.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

[up] The European ancestry also means you get a crack at a lot of other (currently dormant and inactive) royal titles. Kaiser of Germany or Tsar(ina) of Russia, for instance.

[up][up][up][up] Not conventionally political, no. Bryson is something of an old-time tradtionalist and in love with Rural England, also bemoaning the direction the USA has taken since he spent so long as a non-dom in Britain. if I were forced to guess, I'd say he's Green, in the loosest sense. A very funny writer, though.

@Shy Hero, I doubt I could convincingly pull off being Wonder Woman, so I guess I'm stuck being myself. But, on the plus side, the me I am can always improve.
