How to Drive 1000 Miles in One Day, Revisited

I wrote an article here on Randomn3ss on how to drive 1,000 miles in one day a while back. Since that writing, I’ve made the 2,000 mile round trip to the Midwest about fifteen times. I’ve driven through every kind of weather, every season, and maybe every emotional state possible, along with five [...]

I fly like paper get high like planes

One would have to live under a rock, in a cave, on mars to have not heard about the $700 billion bailout program Bush is asking for, the press won’t shut up about it.  The big 3 auto makers are trying to get their grubby little hands on $25 billion of those dollars so they [...]

Up to 10% ethanol in my gas = 10% better gas mileage?

Gas is at a national average of about $4.00 per gallon right now and as much as you hate your local gas station for changing the price daily, and what seems hourly sometimes, they don’t actually profit as much as you think they do. They are simply passing on the costs that they have [...]

Yeah - shithead. That’s the technical term for [...]

I am not your driving billboard

The concept of advertising is something I fully understand, both as a consumer and someone who does advertising, mostly for my blogs and photography. What I’m not fond of is paying to advertise for someone else. Lets forget about the argument on clothing and brand names for a minute, that is a whole [...]

Adrienne goes to traffic court

August 15, 2007 marked the first day that I, Adrienne, have been to court…
TRAFFIC COURT, that is!
In mid-July, I was pulled over on my way to work for “failure to obey a steady red.” In layman’s terms, that means I ran a red light (…which I didn’t). I wasn’t speeding at the time; [...]

Why Traffic is So Bad - It’s Us, People

I commute on city streets to get to and from work each day. I hear people complaining about traffic every single day. I see really bad driving every single day. Who’s responsible for bad traffic?
Whether we’re driving, or whether we’re the engineers who built the roads, or whether we’re the [...]
