After stressing about it for months (years?) I finally went to get my Indiana drivers license. Only because my Michigan one expires on my birthday August 5th. I was supposed to get it within 60 days. That was two years ago. So I tamped down my agoraphobia and went in and failed the written exam. Gah! Now I have to go back tomorrow and try again. I tried downloading the manual (pdf) beforehand and it stalled out. So I ask them if they had a booklet today and they said they were all out. Now isn’t that helpful?
I don’t have a clue why I must be tested on the complicated rules for getting a learners permit if you are 15 or 16 years old but apparently I need to memorize them. It also might have been extremely helpful to know WHICH questions I missed! That is to remain a secret however. I’m thinking about wearing long sleeves and writing the answers on my arm :p I know I guessed at some of those things about distances but I looked after I got home and I guessed right, so how am I supposed to know where I went wrong? Geez, that’s lame. Like I have any clue when I’m following a car if I’m 200 feet behind it or not.
Plus, some of the questions were stupid, like a semi will go wide to the left when making a tight turn. Huh? doesn’t that depend on which direction it’s turning? There was no “none of the above” choices. I think they should let me write the test for them so it doesn’t leave you wondering what the heck they are talking about. Then there’s the rural vs urban highways and what is the speed limit. But it doesn’t stop there, they can be broken down into other variations to complicate it even more. Why can’t I just LOOK at the speed limit signs to know what speed is allowed? How do I know when I’m on a rural vs urban highway? Nothing says, now entering urban highway. Okay, off to study the pdf if I can get the thing to download.
My garden as of today. I think I found a radish. I don’t remember planting radishes. I pulled it because I thought it was a weed. Maybe it’s a weed that looks like a radish? If I did plant them it’s odd only one came up.
My pretty vines.

So how ironic that I looked at your website earlier today and you hadn’t updated, and then ALL OF A SUDDEN you update TWICE in one day AFTER I look! Sheesh!
I thought I remembered you buying beets. But I don’t remember. You bought a lot. What is that hugely tall thing!?!? I want to know!
P.S. Corn looks like it’s coming along nicely
I want some!
I have Bill the Cat for an icon?! How did that happen???
I have 3 hugely tall things and after asking around they are either weeds or sunflowers. I don’t think I bought sunflowers either and I wouldn’t have planted them in the middle of the garden :p So I’m betting weeds but I never saw a weed like that. They have huge leaves and anyway, my bean plants are all wrapped up on them now.
So hmm, this looks more like a radish than a beet but I can see me buying beets. How come I only have one?
I have a thing set up to give anyone without a default avatar Bill
Isn’t that weird? I was here last night and saw no up to date posts. Then this morning there is a comment from you on my blog and you updated twice and I see that other comment saying the same thing! What’s up with that?

Good question, I’ve been slacking
Oh yeah Mir…it is most definitely a radish. And guess what else I found that I didn’t remember planting? Cucumbers. Heh, I should have saved all those seed packets. I thought that was just another squash plant.
I totally remember you buying cucumbers. But yeah, saving the seed packets would have been a good idea.
Radish, huh? Interesting….
My garden looks a bit like your garden except that my garden isn’t supposed to be greeen. It’s supposed to be a courtyard. I know it needs work, but it’s toooooo cold out there.
I wouldn’t be out working in the cold either! I don’t even really like doing it when it’s warm
