Metro Council (Nashville) might eliminate "Turn Right on Red." I swear, sometimes I think they're INTENT on making traffic worse. They say they want to do it in the name of "safety," but what data do they have that indicates no right on red would make ANYTHING safer and not just more road-ragey?

Wait, is WICKER now the new "bear vs. man" debate on the socials? Come on, guys. Not every thought experiment or work of art is an existential threat. This is why there's so little originality in movies now. People freak out about it. No need to be so fragile.

Something I've discovered over the years. If you go to a doctor appointment with an anxious/traumatized person and you display empathy when that person explains their anxiety/trauma, the surgeon/dentist/whoever is more likely to express empathy and take extra care to ease the patient's mind. 1/3

It's been at least 25 years since I last stayed up all night. Until last night. Got so involved in some backend work on my author site and working on my new novel that I lost track of time. Anyway, at 73K in my WIP.

There's something I find pleasant about the sound of skating, whether it's on boards, roller skates, or ice. The tools of motion clacking and cutting the surface on which they play. I don't skate anymore in any style, but I'm enjoying listening to the X Games in New Orleans on TV.
