I like seeing new kinds of people, after about 1 min of walking around, though, I was sad to realize that they all occupied the lowest wage jobs . They were all super friendly too, I guess all people there had more of a warmer personality than they do in the NW. I gave out about a pack of smokes just walking around, smoked a J with random dude who was on break. Talked to the homeless. It was an experience.

Without getting into the semantics of what I should or shouldn't say as a joke, I actually think that its interesting how the physical appearance of a person makes an impression. Now it could be that there just aren't many black people in the 907 and I'm not well adjusted, but I had a friend that was half Ethiopian and its not like there's a lack of ethnicity up there, or racial tension for that matter. I'm also no whimsical idiot either.

Anyways, it feels like if I were to walk into a room full of Africans that my brain/subconscious/whatever will react more than if I'm in a room full of Far East/SE Asains, Eskimos, American White, Northern Euorpeans, Russians, hispanic etc. Can't speak much for tribal peoples or south american so it could really be a familiarity factor; but there is something about the nature of blacks that makes their presence stand out.

I think there is always something more visceral behind enslavement and racism than can be categorized.

edit: imo.

Boardwalk Empire is ok. The last few eps of S2 are great but not really worth the time investment to get there. Skip it until you're really bored, go and watch The Wire instead. If you've seen it already, watch it again.

Edit: Breaking Bad is the best thing since The Wire so watch that (again)

Yoda,

Thanks for the input. I havent heard much chatter about the Empire, and it seems like a good enough premise/era/material to work with, that I'd have heard if it were really good.

Not comparing the two, but I was late for Weeds which had a few good seasons so I'll check out Breaking Bad...it was in my netflix queue anyways.

I haven't played a hand of poker in two years but because I just took Step 2 and my girlfriend is graduating this weekend, we're gonna go to Vegas in early June to celebrate and I'm gonna see if I'm still any good.

So I got pulled over the other day for having a small crack in my windshield. It was at the very bottom because while changing the windshield wipers, the metal holder snapped down on the windshield and cracked it just a bit. It wasn't in the way of my field of vision because it was at the very bottom and 5-6 inches in length at the most. So the officer gives me a ticket for it and says get it fixed.

I get it fixed a week later and mail in the ticket with the receipt saying I got it fixed. New york state mails the ticket back to me with receipt and says it's new york state law that the windshield needs to be fixed within 36 hours or some bull**** like that so they wouldn't accept it even though I got it fixed.

How the fk can I have my windshield fixed in that timeframe when

1. I had to schedule an appointment with the autoglass place because they have to order the specific windshield with rubber trim fitment.

2. It's my daily driver so I need to get to work somehow.

How likely do I win a case like this if I fight it? Seems like such an unreasonable law.
