Happy Friday the 13th

Yeah, so Friday the 13th falls on a Wednesday this month. That happens.

Automotive Safety

Every time I receive an email, or see an advertisement for a car touting the safety features, it makes me want to go out, buy an old Lamborghini, and drive like a hoon with four outstanding ASBOs.

We got a survey about Subarus recently. We really like our Outback, but the Driver Monitoring System (which can be temporarily disabled, but not permanently) drives me bonkers. I said as much, noting that it would probably keep me from buying another Subi.... but then I bet ALL the freaking cars watch the driver now, don't they?

Photogenic

Nice raking sunlight just before sunset, our view to the south-east...

View south-east, sunlight on the ridge line.
