I can't decide if this has been a weird month for VUP sales or one that I should have seen coming. Let me walk you through our top ten sellers for February, since I'm assuming it's not going to change very much by Saturday.

Pedestrians in a sea of asphalt by the Vanderbilt U campus in Nashville, trying to stay alive as cars make turns through the crosswalks while the pedestrian light is green.

it’s fun when contractors make lovely little traffic control plans and file permits for a lane closure and explicitly state that southbound traffic will remain open but then violate the permit and close the whole street

My bus driver in Nashville tonight is passionate about sunsets! He & his wife travel to special spots to see sunsets. During his break he showed me sunset pics. I said thanks! This convo came up after I changed seats to take this pic & he asked whether I was OK because in the move I dropped a thing.

New predawn life travel plan. Puerto Rico's Casa del Libro, next trip. WWOOFing out West in the summer, to escape Nashville heat. Europe in the fall, maybe.

Waymos are so helpless that the company has to pay people to shut their doors left open.

Looks like the TSLA now requires a bar code number to access the databases fully. No worries, just go there, it's free and gives you a nice parking garage, convenient too, say, if the farmers market parking is full.

There's a bus stop at Union Station and a rider called it at 12th Ave but the driver skipped the stop because he had made a bee line for the left lane to turn on 8th. This is a problem we have.

There's a pod or colony of young Tennessee refugees in Seattle who joined the crowds in the streets last night and sent me pics.

They took a subsurface boring every 2,900 feet. TDOT itself wants a boring every 200 feet in rock cuts. I think it’s safe to say they’re gonna encounter something unexpected.

oh, I’m gonna be requesting them all over, not just in my district.

I think raised crossings are criminally underutilized in Nashville, and I’m making this <A Thing>.
