Just goes to show, old habits die hard.

If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?" - "Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money." - "Well, not all chicks." - "Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do."

I'm glad nobody died but all this gang and shooting garbage is starting to bother me.

Oregon is big on free speech when it comes to everything else; I don't see what's wrong with this guy waving a silly flag around.

Which I guess is better than no emails and no text messages.

Even when something is switched off, if there's a short somewhere it could drain the battery. Not to mention battery acid!

Still, as others have mentioned, when there's a lot of traffic, we're all driving pretty slow anyway.

Also, if you look at that road on Google maps, you will find that there is virtually no shoulder.

He had committed suicide. She was never found at fault, nor should she have been. Of course, it has traumatized her for years to have had something like that happen to her.
