I've seen the aftermath of some nasty crashes on highway driving - including last winter a fatal head-on where a co-worker was driving the striking vehicle (he blacked out from an undetected benign brain tumor). Didn't know it was his vehicle until two days later.
I've had two run-off-road crashes on iced bridges on the IH; all other crashes were urban; most at intersections.
One was a T-Bone from a red-light runner - struck my car right behind the driver's door. I was belted; nary a scratch. Another was a hard rear-ender; had 1/3 of a second to brace. Also belted; also no injury.
I've been fortunate.

Tell you what Atrios, please plan a trip out to Portland, Oregon and we'll put together a conference, perhaps on urban planning and transportation.

You can explain to me why my city house would have been the better place to continue raising my kids, and why they now live in a hell hole. I'll be interested in hearing specifics as to what is so superior at the city house. Schools? Fewer video games? More room to play frisbee?

Yes indeed.
Unless your kids want to play music and they have none in the city high schools, so you have to drive long distances several times a week to let them be involved in it. Or you have to rent a warehouse for their metal band to practice then drive to the warehouse. Or if you plan to take your 1/2 acre and subdivide it into four units when the kids leave, making it a better footprint. Or if your suburban hellhole is 3 blocks from one of the biggest transit centers in the state, allowing you to practically eliminate car usage.

Kind of the opposite of my neck of the woods in Queens: mass transit is sufficiently bad that you can't really go everywhere you would need to go via it unless you are willing to wait for long periods, make lots of transfers, etc. But once you get that car, there are enough people around (also with cars) that you spend all your time trying to find parking.

Notice that he’s apologizing for the execution of the joke. In other words: If only he had written it more clearly to take aim at Bristol instead of Willow, he wouldn’t have been misunderstood. And he wouldn’t be under the gun having to say he’s sorry for creating the wrong “perception.” He’s sorry he didn’t pull it off better.

not only can no politician vote against military spending, but republicans have consolidated the whole thing as a game of chicken and one-upmanship to see which party is the most pro-military by proposing the biggest increases in military spending each year. Its why we have the most bloated, criminally obscene, military spending in the history of humanity.

From an ecological perspective, city dwelling has a much smaller carbon footprint than suburban dwelling does.

The problem with generalizations is that they all omit certain aspects of the problem (including this one, I suppose.)
I would actually say our carbon footprint is pretty low comparatively.
Yes, we do drive when we need to go somewhere - but where we go is usually pretty close to home. (A mile to the grocery stores and restaurants - that sort of thing.
Our house is very energy efficient - massively insulated - and heating bills run about $125 in the winter and cooling bills about $80 in the summer. A lot of the time we use the minimum.

the FBI used to have a field office in every city/metro area that had at least 35k residents.
J Edgar Hoover was visiting an FBI field office. The visit seemed to go ok, but just before he got on his plane, the Director said, apropos of nothing, "the man's a pinhead! Get rid of him!" The agents didn't know who he was talking about and they were too scared to ask, so they surreptitiously measured everyone's hat size and fired the one with the smallest head.

There are always exceptions. On average, however ...
Atrios needs to have an official "tell us about your own suburban hellhole" thread.
When I was born, my hometown had around 36,000 in it. By the time I graduated high school, it was down to around 24,000.
i like the 50K ish number.
euphronius ahistorical
Muskegon (and the surrounding communities - Muskegon Heights, Fruitport, Roosevelt Park, North Muskegon, Norton Shores, and Egelston Township - is around 50 K
In some venues, Whitehall/Montague (14 miles North)and Grand Haven/Spring Lake (8 miles south)would be included in this figure. If that is the case the number is closer to 100 K.
All goes to how you view "Town," "Village," and "City" as definitions.
To me, "City" encompasses places 10,000 or more - IOW, it's gonna have a Wal-Mart.
"Village" is an in-between status - somewhere between 2,000 and 7,500 or so. Small grocer.
"Town" is a rural-area cluster of small businesses, churches, etc. Quik-Trip.
I don't know why liberals in general and elected Democrats in particular have so much trouble understanding this.

Well, state law, too. Far as I can tell (I've never looked it up in the Texas Government Code, which I think is where it was codified after I stopped practicing), Texas doesn't recognize "village" as a legal designation.

This supplemental vote is interesting. Jane Hamsher (at FDL) wants the vote to fail, because she wants us out of Iraq and Afghanistan. The GOP seem to want the bill to fail not only to deny the IMF its money, but to embarrass Obama and the Democrats generally.
I'd like to see us out of Iraq today, and Afghanistan in six months or so. On the other hand, I'm fine with the money to the IMF. (Matt links to this very short piece by Nina Hachigian at the Center for American Progress which makes a strong case for the IMF getting $5B from us.)
Hey, if Team Obama wants the bill, that's OK with me, at least for the time being. It seems to me voting against this money is not the best way to get us out of theatre, in any case. So long as we're there, I want the troops well equipped.
But it's interesting to see Jane and some other people I respect greatly on the same side as Team Red, at least, that's my impression.

Contrary to popular belief, parrots are not hothouse flowers. Parrots that live in the Australian outback, such as those cute little cockatiels, withstand extremes of weather - near freezing at night in winter, over 95 during the day in the summer. There are parrots native to Patagonia and even the mountains of New Zealand. And the monk parrots of New York are an Argentinian parrot that often raids corn fields.

Hyde Park is sort of famous for its large number of big green wild parrots.
About fifteen years ago, I was teaching Catherine how to ride a bike. We went over to the local park, Nicholls, and lo, there were about (I counted) 50 of 'em all on the ground, spread out like an emerald-dotted carpet. Like stumbling into Attar's Conference of the Birds. They did not pay the slightest attention to us as we came within three or four feet of them.

Good afternoon, folks:
TACOMA, Wash. — Bob Bogle, lead guitarist and co-founder of the rock band The Ventures, known for 1960s instrumental hits like "Walk, Don't Run," has died at age 75.
Don Wilson, the band's other co-founder, tells The News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., that Bogle became ill over the weekend and died Sunday.
The band sold millions of albums and heavily influenced other rock guitarists. It was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
Among its other hits were "Perfidia" and the theme from "Hawaii Five-O."
The band got its start in 1958 in Tacoma. Bogle played lead and bass and Wilson played rhythm guitar. They were soon joined by Nokie Edwards, another guitarist, and drummer Howie Johnson, later replaced by Mel Taylor.
I bet you teh germans have a very clear cut system of definitions.
It's funny that you say that because in this case, no. The word Stadt means both town and city. (You can Großstadt for "big city".)
David, i guess i am opposed to the funding bill, bc i think the only way to end the wars is to cut off the money. i'm deeply, deeply irritated that ending the wars seems all of the sudden not such an important priority to dems, who rode to a majority promising to do just that but somehow..."can't." that's crap. every day we are in those countries we make more enemies, kill more people, waste more money we don't have.
they can write a separate IMF funding bill. but the wars need to end, and i wish someone could tell me how that's going to happen, short of political games with funding bills for them.

ChiDy: DWD has given you very good advice. If the disks say "Vista", definitely you don't want 'em for your Mac. But the chances are excellent that the software has been upgraded.
Get thee to the manufacturer's web site and look for either "Support" or "Downloads" and see if either are there, and if they have something useful for your machine.
In fact, you might not need anything. Macs often work with equipment right out of the box. You might try plugging it into your Mac and giving it a whirl.
Oh, hell, looks like I'm going to have to watch Conan O'Brien this week.
"With temperatures in the nineties, and humidity hovering somewhere around 1000 percent, we made our way over to the comedy tent to watch a set from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog that he dubbed Bonnapoo. In a set that recalled his legendary Star Wars bit (only substituting hippies for geeks), Triumph took great delight in taking potshots at the hippiefest that is Bonnaroo ("It's kind of like the Superdome at Hurricane Katrina, only outdoors and without the hope") and the amount of drugs that were flying around the festival grounds ("You people are so high that I'm the fourth talking dog you've seen today"). Triumph would end up being a fixture at the festival throughout the weekend — Robert Smigel told us they were filming a segment for the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien that "would hopefully air sometime this week" — and even managed to briefly duet with Bruce Springsteen on "Tenth Avenue Freeze-out" on Saturday night. But we're getting ahead of ourselves."

The German word for both "town" and "city" is Stadt, while a city with more than 100,000 inhabitants is called a Großstadt (big city). On the other hand, most towns are communities belonging to a Landkreis (county or rural district), but there are some cities, usually with at least 50,000 inhabitants, that are counties by themselves (kreisfreie Städte). Germany's largest cities are Berlin, Hamburg and Munich although the largest urban area is in the Rhine-Ruhr region around such cities as Dortmund and Essen.

Afghanistan seems to me a much more nuanced thing. The country was "run" by women-hating religious wackos for about twenty years; these guys provided a haven for al Qaeda. I think it's worth trying to help the citizens of Afghanistan put their house in order, though it may not be possible.
I guess I'd like to give Afghanistan a little longer.

All this talk of birds and now pictures thereof.
It reminds me: whatever happened to w00t?
It's not that they like to fuck. It's that they're fundie assholes who are constantly "don't do as I do, do as I say".
Thank you.
It's also galling these people keep rubbing our noses in their bullshit.
i thought Russell was pissed off because his wife had too many kids and Wittgenstein punked him.
I often get to see a pair of bald eagles, herons, and painted turtles on my bus ride, part of which is near the Arboretum. I have also seen osprey and kingfishers nearby.
And right now, the crows will be swooping low over the water to scoop up the spawned out three-spined sticklebacks that are floating on the surface of Lake Washington.
because to do so would be "admitting" that she's a slut!

aren''t the palins racists if they think there is anything wrong with joking about bristol getting knocked up by A-ROD?
horrible horrible racists, who like to fuck like wild hares, by all accounts?
If the Wasilla Hillbillies keep harping on it
Say what you will about Palin, she can smell a marketing opportunity a continent away.
I've got to go. See you later.
From an article on Monk Parrots
"Monk Parakeets are the only parrots which build free-standing nests (all other parrots build their nests in tree cavities and similar places)," says Kelly. "Some of those nests can be impressively large and one in South America weighed almost a ton. Local nests are never that big, but they're still pretty sturdy. The parakeets' actual living space lies in the middle of a bushel or more of twigs, so when really cold weather hits, they've got a nice, cozy home to retreat to."
Hello moonbats
the largest urban area is in the Rhine-Ruhr region around such cities as Dortmund and Essen.
Yeah, up there the cities are just kind of connected to each other the way Manhattan is one neighborhood after another.
Nice baldie Old Man!
maybe we should try and not kill anyone abroad for a change

i will admit to being slightly peeved at letterman for giving them an opening. you give these people an inch, and they take it out of the known universe.

Exactly.

Afghanistan seems to me a much more nuanced thing. The country was "run" by women-hating religious wackos for about twenty years; these guys provided a haven for al Qaeda.
And before that, they loved women and treated 'em as equals?
I think it's worth trying to help the citizens of Afghanistan put their house in order, though it may not be possible.
I guess I'd like to give Afghanistan a little longer.

The best metaphor I have for culture is genetics. And you can no more change the culture of a country/people by military intervention than you can change someone's genetic makeup by surgery.
It's a lost cause, and not only not our responsibility, we're fools to try.
IMHO.

"It was examined by Russell and Moore; at the end of the thesis defence, Wittgenstein clapped the two examiners on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know you'll never understand it.""
From an article on Monk Parrots
They are unique for those communal stick nests. There are a few other communal parrots, the Patagonian conure is one, it nests in cliffsides.
Afghanistan can be summed up in this line 'Where Empires Go to Die'
Incidentally for ChiDy and other Mac folks who use a scanner: I have yet to find better scanner software than Hamrick's VueScan. Supports everything. Shareware. Costs about $40, and that's the last money you'll spend; lifetime updates.

I was hoping that Palin (my neighbor says she reminds her more of a 1950s carhop...all that's missing are the roller skates)would be forgotten about three months after the election, but unfortunately the media are still in love with her.
The Slutty Stewardess Look would make a good Halloween costume, but no one will remember it by then.
Palin will have drummed up several more crises by then.
It wasn't a week ago that she had the republics up in arms for snubbing her sorry ass when it was actually she who did the snubbing. And it was all a setup.
It reminds me: whatever happened to w00t?

One one of our visits to Point Reyes in California I watched a heron for about half an hour while it hunted fish. Amazing patience.

In Jeebusland, they always have been.
OT: The Goethe Institute continues to find new ways to dabble in the cultural relationship between Germans and Egyptians, this time bringing the Berlinland club scene to Egypt in the form of DJ Mia.
One of Germany’s top club DJs, she was introduced to Egypt’s cafe-culture shores in the unlikely settings of a family folk festival in Sohag followed by the heart of Cairo’s underground arts scene: the Rawabet Theater, a performance which she categorized as minimal club techno.
DJ Mia has two albums under her sleeve, “Shwarzweiss” (2004) and “Bittersuess” (2007). Her music is haunting, melodic and meditative, ranging from classic blues and remixes to cutting-edge experimentalism with electronic sounds. Thus, Mia comes in different guises and the audience only received a hint of that during her performances.
The crowd at Rawabet Theater on Friday night was a mixed bunch with varying expectations. Advertised as minimal electro, it was — understandably — much to the disappointment of electronica outfit Bikya’s fan base (Bikya being the special guest of the night), when Mia began to belt out Berlin club anthems. The audience, in their polite yet consistent manner, gradually trickled out.

euphronius ahistorical
Wittgenstein on one side, Godel on the other. Russell has the rare distinction of being the founder of a school of philosophy which came to a complete end in his lifetime.
Whitehead invented process theology, Russell became an anti-war activist. Gotta do somethin' with your time....
Say what you will about Palin
Oh, and I will.
You betcha!
Nice baldie Old Man!
There are several pairs nesting in the area these days and we get lots of them wintering in the region.
his wife had too many kids
His WIFE had too many kids?
Hey, unless they were all immaculate conceptions, I think he had SOMETHING to do with that.

A suburban hellhole near Kansas City. Its all that superfluous green space that does it.
Damned green space!
My hometown doesn't have parrots, or Michele Malkin, thank God. But it does have a marvelous supply of lightning bugs and for the past two nights they've put on a heck of a show. One of life's little joys, I think.
