Yeah, I-5 across the Columbia. I'm just suggesting the sooner you learn the zen of traffic the better. Just gotta *cough* roll with it.
Im getting a dash cam -.-

I have patience; otherwise I wouldnt get past the math. I dont have patience for things that people should have mastery of; something you can get right if youre a construction worker, a CEO or an astro physicist.

This works better than a dashcam and it's cheaper.

and people wonder why I partake in the recreactional activities in washington...

I dont like religion, but I understand where youre coming from.

Ofcourse to you three (humfrz Ultra and Tcoat) I probably look like a young kid trying to drive fast everywhere and whatnot.

Im just trying to get traffic flowing (and ranting about it) when what Im realizing is the development of new homes is all over the place and no changes are being done to the roads. (I recently drove by my old hs to see about 400 more homes to be built, along with another small forest was cleared for the same thing about 2 miles)

Pretty sure the city needs to approve of permits to the developers under the guise they know it will change the traffic flow, and *should* compensate for it? I dont quite know how this part works @.@

Not at all. It's just that we've already tilted at those windmills. Look closely. You'll find our initials carved on them.

No what you are doing is showing all the signs of the classic young engineer student that thinks they know more than everybody that ever preceded them. I have seen it a thousand times and will see it a thousand more I am sure.
Math does not require patience it requires understanding and what you think you have mastered there are many people that do it far better.
The traffic is flowing and just because it is not to your liking does not mean it is wrong.
Welcome to the real world.


If anybody wonders where the fuck I went this is the sort of shit on here now that made me say screw it.

Peace out.

Isnt that how growing up works? I could elaborate but the words elude me as to how Ive grown up with respect to who I was.

Ive been on these forums for long enough, that you should know me better than that. In no way am I trying to come off as a douche or pissed off or mad at anyone, Im simply ranting about the local traffic flow, and to see if I could actually do anything if you caught my inital post in the first pace (to which ultra actually suggested something). Seen it more than once on these forums. I have not mastered anything. Im only 22, Im smart enough to know that. Im not sure why youre upset. To calm the mind, humfrz and ultra told me to mentally slow down.

Exactly!


BTW, sometimes when I'm not at my best, I still slip back into impatient asshole mode. Fuck it.

Well, now, milk can "age" rather well. Ya got cream, buttermilk, cottage cheese, ice cream, butter and cheese ..... of all ages.

So, what you "see" now can be seen in different ways. The geology, Indian history, early settlers, lumbering, mining and stuff like that.

Now about that speed limit in that area ..... as the population increases, cities will expand through annexation, more subdivisions, more traffic, more pressure to reduce the speed limit ...... like down to 25 MPH ......

Then, as you sit in traffic with your kids, you can tell them how you used to scream down this road at 45 mph ........ unless some old coot was in front of you ...... going slow ...... trying to figure out where the old Johnson place was ..........

Yep, most all of us were "grasshoppers" at one time.

Some of us have gone through metamorphosis ........ some have not ......

As the Chinese military strategist, Sun Tzu, once said "choose your battles wisely".

You're doing just fine, @cdrazic93 .........
