I just got home from picking up my daughter stuck in Plainfield after her car hit some debris and damaged something under the car and was not drivable. It was 7:30pm when I went to get her. The area south of 22 was a battlezone. We couldn't find a way back to Warren and just circled around for hours. Google showed open roads which were not. Lots of stranded car everywhere, including these three bro SUVs who apparently wasn't big enough, as they were abandoned when we passed at around 11pm. We finally got to 287 from Washington rd.View attachment 264668

Same thing with SC Johnson Paste Wax. $$$$ on ebay for opened cans.

I bought Minwax paste wax brand new at Lowes instead. Likely missing the slick ingredient that gives cancer.

Cyclists may be right to run stop signs and red lights
🛑

The debate over whether cyclists should fully stop at intersections is often a source of frustration for motorists, who see current laws requiring strict equality for all road users.
However, many legal experts argue that uniform application of traffic rules creates a "deceptive equality". Cars are the main structural hazard and running a red light poses an incommensurate risk compared to a bicycle.
Furthermore, the efficiency of cycling - which offers benefits for health, environment, and traffic flow—depends entirely on maintaining momentum. Having to stop completely over and over again discourages cycling.
Rather than enforcing impractical equality, jurisdictions like Idaho, France, and Belgium have adopted the Idaho Stop rule. Since 1982, this law has allowed cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs.
Crucially, the goal is not chaos: cyclists must always yield to cars and pedestrians and enter only when the intersection is clear.
Studies show that adopting the Idaho Stop does not lead to an increase in collisions, and some evidence suggests a modest decrease, as cyclists clear intersections more quickly.
This reform recognizes the fundamentally different dynamics of cycling, legitimizes the mode of transport, and regulates a practice already common among many road users.
