Is it acceptable to be an atrocious speller?
arons = errands
"UR hot" makes sense.
"Driving UR dad around" does not.
Why the extra T in hot? Is that how the kids spell it nowadays?

Punctuation is clearly deader-er than chivalry.
I like the "niceeeeee" on account of the E being silent for so long.

It's illegal to cut across lot to avoid light
Do folks really have no clue about this? I'm pretty sure it is taught in driver ed.
From today's Portsmouth Herald:
Traffic tip of the week
By Karen Dandurant
October 01, 2007 6:00 AM
PORTSMOUTH — Did you know driving through a gas station to avoid a red light is illegal in New Hampshire?
State police say enough people do not know about that or other small and sometimes obscure laws, so they've decided to issue periodic traffic-safety reminders.
The idea came from Lt. John G. LeLacheur of Troop B. He brought it to his superiors and will lead the charge to educate the public.
One of this week's law tips is the above. It is illegal for any driver to cut across public or private property to avoid a traffic control signal or sign.
"This one happens mostly in congested areas," LeLacheur said. "People come up to an intersection and are third or fourth in line. Instead of waiting, they cut through a parking lot. This puts a lot of congestion in the lots and the owners do not like it."
There are many such laws on the books that people might not be aware of.
"If we can start to do quick reminders on a daily or weekly basis on the things people should be doing, it can help," LeLacheur said. "Some of the reminders might be obvious and some might be more obscure."
LeLacheur said police came up with the idea during traffic-enforcement details.
"We'd been running some details, and people were stopped for violations," he said. "I personally found that people I was stopping had no idea that what they were doing was wrong. Some are violations with set fines, others are up to the discretion of a judge. Knowing it's wrong is key, and we feel it's our responsibility to send out updates."
State police plan to send out updates when laws change, too.
"There were a couple of big ones a few years back — the road clearance law and the move over law," he said.
The road clearance law involves minor accidents. LeLacheur said if drivers can safely clear the lane of travel involved, they are required to do so.
"They can pull into a parking lot or a break down lane," he said. "Many people still have the impression they should stay put. We can still investigate if they have moved by looking at the road and talking to drivers and with witnesses."
Not moving can needlessly tie up traffic, he said.
Cell phones are legal to use while driving in New Hampshire, but LeLacheur said there is a law that says if driving and the use of the cell phone is interfering with operation of a motor vehicle, police can stop the car and issue a summons to the driver.

I Heart Mark & Dave
Excerpts from the Kisses & Disses section in the local paper:
September 11, 2007
From our readers:
Big DISSES to the City of Portsmouth for putting in big, fancy curbs that look nice, but have sharp edges and cause you to pop your tires while going around a corner! I don't know how many times I've almost popped my tire, until a few weeks ago, in the 90 degree heat and a car full of kids, when I was driving around the corner going onto Court Street, and bam, goes my tire hard against the curb, and the kids are all yelling to me "stop the car, can't you hear the air coming out of your tire! You got a flat!" Not only did I get a big gash in my tire, my rim is now all scraped up! Please fix these sharp curbs, and put in the ones that won't damage car rims and pop tires. My husband did the same things two weeks later, and many of my friends have had this same problem! It looks like the tire companies will be making a big profit on tires in this city!

From our readers:
Man alive, did I ever get a kick out of your KISSES and DISSES column in Tuesday's (Sept. 11) edition. It seems Paula Glynn, and possibly others, believe the granite curbing the city installed is too "sharp." Said curbing is to blame for all their tire woes. Manure I say. The granite isn't popping a (darn) thing, the driver is. Your vehicle has no business being on the curbing. Learn to drive and your tires will be better for it. Just the facts, ma'am.
— Mark Morrill, York, Maine
Major KISSES to Paula Glynn, her husband and all her friends who are unable to drive. Thanks for the heads up! Please publish your license plate numbers and vehicle descriptions so that when I see you coming I can get off the sidewalk.
— Dave Chapman, Kittery Point, Maine

My Pretty Green Rusty Bike
1972 Schwinn Varsity
Got her at a garage sale last summer. Five bucks. I really just wanted that bullet shaped headlight - it's peddle/wheel powered. But once I went for a spin on Green Varsity, I was in love - her big comfy seat and upright handlebars. I feel like a kid when I go for a ride.
Fortune: Your eyes will soon be sparkling, keep them open.
