Be careful, there's language. But it's hilarious.

So yeah, here's the piece.
The crazy thing is that it's on a friggin roundabout and cars don't stop at the signs either. I don't know why they go through the trouble of crafting a one way roundabout and then clutter it with stop signs but the genius city planners have actually done it at more than one spot in town. It does make for a few nice mini-parks in the middle of the road. Close your eyes and pretend it's a beach. lol

There shouldn't be stop signs at a round-about. The whole point of a round-about is to get rid of idling cars burning up gas and going no where. They are supposed to keep traffic rolling. I drove in Great Britain and once you get adjusted the round-abouts are nice. I just didn't like round-abouts that were four or five lanes wide, with about 6 different entrances/exits. Those were scary to me, although I'm sure if I'd grown up with them, it wouldn't be as scary.
Anyway, I think they should take out the stop signs. It completely defeats the purpose of having a round-about. Given that, as long as the stop signs are there, both cars and bicycles are supposed to stop, before proceeding. Too many bicyclists seem to be unaware that bicycles must follow the same rules as cars, in most states I know. My brother got pulled over by a cop in Davis, California when he was a teenager, because he slowed down at a stop sign, but did not come to a complete stop. Since we were new in town at the time, they let him off with a warning.
Regardless of all that, the people who rigged the trip line hopefully get caught and prosecuted for intent to commit bodily injury or something. It could have turned out very badly.

I will say that I belong to the local Freecyclers group here. You would not believe what you can find for free there. Even more amazing is the stuff people actually want from someone else. I like that somone else can make use of things I just want to be rid of. Greendisk recycles all kinds of electrinc and related things.

I had this weird dream that the Kings moved to San Jose and in some odd exchange Sacramento got the sharks. In my dream the Maloofs are in a press conference announcing the move, said they are sad to move from Sacramento etc....And then my friend who is a big Sharks fan calls all excited because she doesn't have to drive down to SJ for games...
Weird.
Weird.
