    If your blood cells behaved as you expect others to drive you'd be anemic. It's not a matter of being polite it's a matter of time and spatial efficiency. You sound like a very emotional driver.

    The B-cycle station at Milam & Elgin (by the High Fashion Fabrics) has moved to Elgin and Smith on the south side of this complex. Edit: As you can obviously see in the photo in the post above by Jax.

    So you admit the situation is a legal merge. Why you mad? Eventually everyone gets cut off at some point.

    ^It's called a merge and using all of the available concrete to funnel into the single lane is the most efficient use of triangulated space. You can try to block me but if you stop the line the person behind you that I'm already blocking is going to be as mad at you as you are at me. That's just life in the big city.

    Caroline in the midtown is looking like Caroline in the museum district.

    What does historic preservation have to do with photography? Just curious..

    That's from an essay/architecture book, Mutations with Rem Koolhaas' Harvard Project on the City (I have it in storage and am not sure if the pic is from that particular section).

    Who rides a bike on the pedestrian shoulder, where your center of gravity is higher than the guard rail whilst cars zoom by? Kudos the Audi driver for changing lanes.

    I noticed this while feigning attention in the conference room this morning. I'll see about getting a pic later this week.

    ^ I miss being able to see the entire elevation of the planar rhombus step back and cut out elevator lobbies or "staircase cuts" of the First City Tower. Craneless

    There's an old thread from a few years ago I posted from my window about this site but the mods here changed the thread title and I can't seem to find it now. I think the property was slated for a 4 or 5 storey wrap.

    In that situation you want to run time off the clock, he did the right thing (versus that foul he gave in game 2; see ). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ edit: ^video unrelated to game 4 comment below. If you rewatch that last play, he tries to wind down the clock, gets the ball stolen, then runs across the court to defend and then again runs across the court to close out on Mo Williams. Lin hustles so it's hard for me to be critical when a ref call this way or that could have swung at least 3 of the 5 games played so far.

    Technically "raising the gas tax" would not actually be raising taxes as so much it would be restoring the original 1993 level of taxation that's been slowly eroded by nominal inflation coupled with more fuel efficient cars yielding something like an effective ~11 cent tax/gal. whereas it was ~18 cents/gal. in 1993 dollars. Related to the other thread regarding TX infrastructure; it looks like local gov'ts (i.e cities) have stepped up where the state won't and have sold bonds to finance improvements and maintenance. Personally I think debt leverage and private tollways are the way to go forward to alleviate congestion in this economic environment until electric cars and automation change the facts on the ground (which will be sooner than most realize). As far as Obama's proposal, it looks like a shrewd way to get people to talk about infrastructure (potholes!) and the typical trolling of Republicans in an election year (remember the deportation executive order and the evolving on gay marriage) but it's not a serious proposal unto itself. He might as well put "freeways = socialism" for the proposal title. I still don't get why Republicans don't run on the fact that they've effectively cut gas taxes every year since 1993, that's a good thing, right?
