Yes comrade! ;-)

NYT had a story a while back regarding the Park Slope co-op. A lot of Slope residents have left the co-op because of the arrogance of the staff, and all the rules regarding work assignments. Almost like a cult. A lot of people in the Slope take themselves way too seriously. I remember when it was a nice middle-class Irish & Italian neighborhood.

It just hit me that all these posts about studies showing this group is this and that group is that are what Orwell told in 1984.

On the lighter side i scored Hatch green chile on sale at Whole Foods FTW :)

I found it funny back then when some would point to some event and say "See? Just like 1984" but it wasn't, except for the year being 1984.

When Orwell wrote the novel in 1948 he simply reversed the last two digits to get the title.

I wonder if they have ever done a similar study on people who drive high end cars like BMW or Lexus or Mercedes Benz...

I have less problem with the premium sedan and coupé drivers as most of them don't drive slowly or if they do, they stay out of my way. In contrast, I tend to have more contempt for the SUV and minivan drivers who are either super aggressive or drive slow as hell whether it be in a straight line or on a curve under ideal conditions.

Drivers who are super aggressive are worlds better if they know what they're doing.

These things grind my gears (not literally, as I drive an automatic):

1. Lethargic passing, where the driver in one lane is passing the driver in another, but is taking his merry time doing so.
2. Undeserved cutoffs, where the driver cuts you off but does not drive faster than you. Where the other driver is faster I find that entirely acceptable.
3. People who stay in the left lane when done passing.
4. People who only speed up when you express your intention to cut in front of them (i.e. they only drive aggressively to screw others over, and not to improve themselves)
5. People who "courteously" yield the right of way despite them having it. Most common at four way stops signs, which despite their ubiquity remain an enigma to too many people. This applies to pedestrians as well. If I stop for you, CROSS THE FUCKING STREET!
6. Related to that, drivers who have none of stopping for pedestrians while turning and decide to turn around you.
7. Drivers who have "crosswalk blindness." This one is as a pedestrian.
8. Drivers turning left who, when the light turns green, wait at the stop line for their turn and do not enter the intersection until ready to turn.
9. Drivers who do not pay attention to mid-intersection lane shifts (e.g. at Park Row southbound at Spruce)
10. Drivers who drive in the snow or heavy rain with their blinkers on.
11. Drivers who are scared to pass a truck or bus on the Goethals Bridge but don't bother changing into the lane behind the truck or bus.
12. Drivers who turn right from the middle of a single lane (each way or one way) street instead of pulling in alongside the curb. Also applies to left turns in the case of a one way street. I was struck by such an idiot once.
13. Cyclists riding illegally. This one is recent, related to all of the anti-motorist concessions by the NYC Department of Cycling (formerly Transportation). It is also almost entirely as a pedestrian rather than as a driver. It DOES NOT apply to cyclists riding legally in the street.

I have not had the pleasure of working on NG`s (All 737 are gone from the Western region in the Cactus network)

My best friend in CLE (Lead Tech/Days for United `nee Continental) assures me they are pretty good per se.

Back on topic, here in AZ, Food City Supermarkets have seasonal Hatch New Mexico chiles, fire roasted directly in front of the store. The results can be like Unca Selkirks picture of the cat.
