driving drowsy is already illegal in NJ
now, you might not think it’s a big deal, but the atlantic city expressway is a remarkably straight, flat stretch of road that can bore even the most highly caffeinated driver to sleep — and most people leaving a.c. just came off hours long gambling binges, not to mention drinking
anyone driving back to philly from america’s playground knows the three signs with flashing yellow light spaced about mile or so apart “STAY AWAKE”, “STAY ALERT”, “STAY ALIVE”
but i’ve always wondered how they would test for drowsiness, and now there’s a simple spit test that detects cancer, gum disease, even drowsiness

the obvious metaphor looms like a harvest moon

and i’ve just discovered a year or more ahead of time
that my 40th will arrive on a monday
damn.

What’s puzzled economists over the years is why it’s been so difficult for [poor] countries to start up new activities in the hope of spurring economic growth and lifting themselves out of poverty.
Researchers have [now] shown that a country’s competitive edge can spread from one kind of product to another along a well-defined network of links, much as disease epidemics tend to spread among people who are socially connected.
For example, fish exporters are often successful at exporting fresh produce as well. That’s because both activities require similar infrastructures—good roads, ports with refrigerated storage facilities, and bureaucracies able to monitor food safety
The newly charted map of products could help countries design good policies by indicating the most promising paths to creating new industries.
cool stuff, and hopeful too — so much of the foreign aid from the west gets wasted on ineffectual programs — this research may help
i swear to god the water in the bowl gurgled just after the first of the three amigos i dropped off at the pool landed its swan dive, then i realized it was because the women’s restroom had just flushed, however that did nothing instill confidence…
after the third amigo landed its triple somersault, i [edited for content] and then flushed the bad boys, only they didn’t go down, the water welled to halfway up to bowl’s brim…
i washed my hands. then bravely, gently flushed again, no avail, panic as the waters rose in a flash flood of wretched refuse, nearly brimming over…
i ran and hid in my cubitainer where i now am contacting you — i am on the run…
