I always had this sneaking suspicion that of the three states that I have lived in, Pennsylvania had by far the worst street and highway system. Well, driving home from Thanksgiving confirmed that suspicion.
I had stopped at an intersection by my apartment to wait for the traffic light to change. When the traffic light turned from red to green, it did not so much as change from red to green, but continued to display red, while it turned green on as well.
So I propose this to you, if given a traffic light displaying both green and red, are you to stop? To go? This seems like something that should tear apart the fabric of time and space.

I have been working for ITS helping out the freshmen connect to the network properly and whatnot. Damn, those freshmen cause trouble.
On Tuesday, somehow one of them was soo mis-configured they actually brought down the network in the Library for about a half hour. Today, we had soo many appointments and laptops connected through daisy-linked switches, that we actually caused the Library network to run out of IP addresses to assign through DHCP, being that DHCP reserves an IP for each computer at that time for 24 hours. They shortened the reserving time a bit, so that for tomorrow all the unused IP addresses should actually be available.
The orientation program I developed over the whole summer for ITS, saw all of seven freshmen attend. Maybe if more had attended they would not be running into soo many problems now…
- noun — When the average speed of traffic exceeds the speed at which you had hoped to maintain, thereby allowing you travel faster, while traveling at the speed of traffic and reducing the chance of a speeding ticket to near zero.
Traveling back to school from home yesterday, I met negative traffic it was wonderful. I had hoped to average about 75mph, however the average speed of traffic was around 78-79mph allowing me to comfortably maintain 79mph, pass few cars, and have little risk of a ticket.I must also say that driving on 287 North to 87 North at around 9:00 - 10:00 on July 4th is a very enjoyable experience. There were constant fireworks on both sides of the highway as I made my way up north, passing town after town.
