Self-Driving car Bus-Ted...

Read that Google accepted "some responsibility" for that fender-bender.

Car  2mph
Bus 15mph


The car tried to dodged sandbags at 2mph, I'd have used the brakes, big vehicles have big blind spots.

They're still no replacement for trains, they'd still make untrustworthy gridlock. Humans have much better eyesight, that's a self driving cars weakness, they're almost blind.

Have you aggravated a telemarketer today?

Roger Anderson’s Jolly Roger Telephone Co. offers sweet revenge against all those annoying callers

Roger Anderson, JRTC’s CEO, was being bombarded daily by multiple telemarketers. During one call, he handed the telephone to his young son, wondering how much of the telemarketer’s time the boy could waste. When the telemarketer hung up, his son looked very unhappy and complained that the man had called him a name and used a bad word.

So is mine, but with auto-dialers and random-number callers, some still get through. That's the whole point of these services - to mess with the ones that get through.

Yeah, I just hang up, put them on the scammer ring tone that I made and let the phone handle it.

On my way to see about watching a movie. Looked over at Interstate 35 roadway and noticed the south bound traffic had stopped. I wondered what was backing it up. I got my answer about 30 seconds later. A state trooper speeding along followed closely by the rest of the emergence response. I saw the special tools truck headed out with them. It is a shorter version of fire truck with just roll up sides for equipment.

I did a very quick trip into town this morning, 80km/50 country highway miles @ 99% 100km/h/60mph, but not for any food. ;-)

Put the car away (for another 2 weeks) then went down the pub for a few beers. :-D

Cheers.

Observation:
The first six digits of Pi are 3.14159. If you round up one place you get 3.1416. That is Monday! 3/14/16. So we must all celebrated rounded pi day. Pies are round so it seem appropriate.
Happy Rounded Pi Day!
