My weather app tells me it's a day to take the S

Good morning Upstate

Good morning to you as well. Mine says chances of thunderstorms today so that means I drive the Si

We have a chance of thunderstorms every day from today until next Thursday.

Every day less than 50% so will take the S or motorcycle if 50 or less.

Yet another fatality within a mile of my house

That's 2 within about 2 weeks.

I know all about that
But when it happens to me, I'm rewarded with no power for up to 36 hours...
Horribley when F1 is on

That sucks! We did lose power the first time. Guy hit a pole, not watching the road apparently.

Today an SUV driver cut off an oncoming motorcycle. Woman was dead on the scene. Pretty creepy, I could still see the dark stain in the road when I went by a couple hours later and the chalk marks the police made where things were and piecing together what happened.

With these two and then Tom's accident only about 5 miles away I am really creeped out driving the last few days.

Wow Ellen sounds like that's not a safe road.

My driveway wasn't safe yesterday, came home and I KNOW there is a

rock sticking up on the
neighbors side where I turn around yet I went too far and destroyed my carbon fiber splitter.

Got another one on the way, but it was a $380 mistake. grr

Question for the bikers on here

Should bikers be allowed to ride through a red light that has not detected them?
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/04/i...-lights-w-pol/

Yes! Whether they allow it or not, I've done it and will continue to do so. There was an intersection near my apartment where the bike never triggered the light. After 7:00 pm, it saw little traffic. You either sat there for 10 minutes waiting for a car to trigger the light, or took a right on red and turned around to head back where you were going. The light leaving work doesn't see the motorcycle, but it isn't an issue, as there is always a car pulling up behind you.

Either fix the plates so motorcycles trigger the lights or let bikes go through but ONLY after coming to a
complete stop and making sure there is no traffic coming in either direction.

The idea of a Macbook has become very appealing to me
I think I will begin by looking for a used one that comes with a 90 day warranty
There seems to be several sellers, including a local one I think I'll go visit tomorrow

Sorry to hear about the Macbook. I think that would be your best option, very handy. Like your phone only bigger screen and keys

My new want item is the 50" TV I saw at Walmart yesterday. It was so big it was mesmerizing

Only $500 - I may have to put my credit card in the freezer in a bowl of ice for awhile.

I have spent the morning searching, here is what I'm looking at, thoughts?

MACBOOKS
- 2.O GHz, 1GB Ram, White, 10.6 OS, 60-day warranty - $569
- 2.16 GHz, 1GB Ram, White, 10.6 OS, Superdrive, 30-day warranty - $569
- 2.4 GHz, 2 GB Ram, White, 10.6 OS, Superdrive, 30-day warranty - $679
- 2.4 GHz, 2 GB Ram, Black, 10.5 OS, Superdrive, 90-day warrranty - $599

There is no way I'll buy a used Mac from ebay or craig's list, Marc's perfectly fine working unit that no longer lives made me a bit gun shy, so I have only looked at used sites that have a warranty, and a sales force that likes to reply to all my emails
