Election Poll

2007-10-08 Thread Ronn! Blankenship
Tomorrow is the general election for mayor.  Nine candidates are 
running.  If there is no clear winner, the two top candidates will 
participate in a runoff election three weeks later.

I just got a call in which a pre-recorded voice asked "If the runoff 
election were held today, would you vote for  or ?"

Makes one wonder . . .

I've been to the RenFair, but not lately.  When I've gone, I've taken 105 
to Plantersville and then south on 1774.

And most of the times I've been to Houston, it's been to somewhere a lot 
closer to I-10 than US 290, so I've taken the SH-71/I-10 route a lot more 
times than the US 290 route.

(And if I'm going to College Station, I take US-79 to Highway 6 and go 
south.  That might be a better route from north of Austin to get to the 
RenFair, take 6 to 105 in Navasota.  I'd have to drive it both ways to be 
sure, though, or at least take it both ways to Navasota.)

If you have been to Houston, you should have gone on 290.  The exit for 1488
is about a mile south of the split between highway 6, going from Houston to
Aggieland, and 290 going to Austin.  It's at Hempstead, just north of
Prairie View.  It goes, more or less, straight east from there.  I bet you
haven't been to the Houston area RenFair, which is about 6 miles N of
Magnolia.

Never been on FM 1488.  Never even been on I-45.  Guess I never needed to 
get where you are.  :)  I'll have to look at a map, but the good printed 
maps are in my car.  But yeah, FM anything is going to be a good enough 
road that the accustomed speed of traffic will be reasonably high.

I have a question about your trip around Australia.  Did you only travel on
low traffic roads, or multi-lane roads, or roads with wide shoulders that
can easily accommodate a bike?

The reason I ask is that I was thinking about bikes and traffic as I drove
to up to Austin for a funeral.  There were a number of bikes on a two lane
road that was on the first part of my trip and they coexisted well with
traffic, driving on a paved shoulder that was, for all practical purposes, a
bike lane.

However, if they road in the main lane, they would not have coexisted well.
Instead, there would be very long lines forming behind themat least
scores of cars long, if not hundreds.  On the road I was thinking of (FM
1488 from I 45 to US 290 for you Texans), if a cyclist were to ride the
entire way at, say 20 MPH, the line would stretch for miles behind them.

Virtually every cyclist I've seen picked routes in which they wouldn't cause
massive problems, so I've not seen this as a problem.  But, if they did ride
in the main lane of a number of roads, traffic on those roads would be a
nightmare.

It's odd, but I remember that episode but I don't remember it being 
explained very well...  It was largely a "I was only a hired killer, but 
I hated who I was and where I was in life and you're kind of cute, 
Flash" thing to me, particularly because Ming sent her ex-husband after 
her to kill her when she failed at her task on Earth.

It seems the normal OCD sci-fi watchers aren't into the show because I'm 
not turning up much more of a synopsis than my own poor recollection on 
the usual OCD sources...

Scalzi's latest book, _The Android's Dream_, reads like Douglas Adams
and Peter David at a Monty Python convention.  Beware: this book is
