three times in my life i have seem cars on fire on the side of the road. the first time was back in dallas, where a beetle (one that looked a lot like the one of a friend) was burning. the second was on my trip to LA, where i snapped a picture as i drove by. tonight's fire was bigger than either of those. i stopped on the shoulder of the highway and took some pictures (one of which turned out ok). three car fires falls somewhere between strange coincidence and wondering if you attract cars ablaze. fortunately for me, it still is very much on the side of coincidence, which means that it is likely to be years before i get to see another one, unless i start it.
ciole links to this article about a 100% successful HPV vaccine. this is a really good thing.
seattle has passed resolutions to extend the existing monorail "system" into a functional transportation system to supplement the already wonderful bus system in the city. i love the option of not having to drive. this is another good thing.
