Funny, you don't LOOK like a soccer mum ... 
Can you cast your mind back to the exact moment you realised all your dreams had died and you gave up on life?
No, the OTHER time - AFTER that time you met me.
*Googles* 372000 Kroner? $US47K? WTF? Please tell me the Norwegian govt subsidy on EVs brought the price down.
Is there even somewhere to park that thing in your little country?

Th's roughly the price yes, and we have our own parking. Electric is the future, buying combustion based cars these days seems a little silly to be honest.
And I like the car, it's fast and comfortable and capable of getting us everywhere we need to go. Excellent heating too, in all seats and the steering wheel, which is rather important in Norway.

Steering wheel heating is always underrated. When I got my license I drove my parents spare Honda Civic and it was not winter friendly.

We can also heat up the car in advance with an app, which will be lovely midwinter when the temperature brushes -20 celcius at night.

Can confirm, that option is SO GOOD in winter.

Sweet! My favorite Late Summer/Early Autumn chili pepper stand was starting to be set up (damn it seems to be earlier and earlier every year). Along with green chili, I think I'm going to have a go at chili rellenos this year. Never made them myself. Love them from one of my go to taquerias though. My confidence is low in my chili relleno skills however. I'll have to do some research.
The stand also had a sign that they will be selling local honey this time. Double sweet! I've heard eating local honey is supposed to help out with seasonal allergies. Is that true? Something to do with the bees gathering pollen and nectar from the regional flora and eating their honey helps with allergies from these sources.

Yay! I agree, it’s pretty much common sense, but there are people still don’t get it.

If you think the test is a joke, actual driving in the US is even easier. I practically do it with my eyes closed.

There needs to be pedestrian testing and learner permits implemented. The rudimentary knowledge you're taught when you are eight years old - "look both ways before crossing the street"/ "look left, right, then left again, before crossing" - doesn't seem to be working anymore.

You live in LA, right? Cos I can believe that people do this having driven through there in heavy traffic...

After living in a lot of big cities, I feel like jay walking is a more important skill.

I don’t live in LA but you’re the second person this month to think I do. I just give off those Hollywood vibes, I guess.
Agree about the traffic though!

My new runners fit like a DREAM. It's been years since I last bought a pair so these are puttin' the pep in my step!
Also my brother just finished House of Chains - said he was kind of let down by the ending and hoped Felisin would've had more to do, which I sympathised with. Then he asked me, does Midnight Tides have a lot to do with the Whirlwind plot?
Oh boy...I laughed

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.
