This is some random street in Tsim Sha Tsui, directly across from Hong Kong via a short ferry ride. Lumping all of Hong Kong’s environs into one category, it’s my #1 favorite place to visit.

I’ve mentioned it before and today, when cleaning out some drawers, I came across a photograph of when it was a shoe tree. That’s me in the sunglasses.

Looking like it is about to tumble, this rock formation is near a newly opened trail in north Scottsdale.

They booked the four day basics plus a one day cram for DO-178B Level A certification. After three days, their tails are draggin'.

  1. On numbered roads, whether expressed in numbers or written out, the speed limit will be that road’s number. I live close to 1st Ave where the “limit” would therefore be 1 MPH. Not a speedy choice.
  2. On named roads, the normal posted limit would continue to be the speed limit.
  3. Choose a starting and ending point, say your home to work, or to your favorite CostCo or Sams.
  4. Find the route that gets you there the quickest.

In Phoenix where N-S roads are mostly numbered, the farther out from Central (the center “zero” line), the faster you could go when traveling North or South. But since most E-W streets are named, you’d be stuck with the posted speed limit on those roads.

Lunch is $9.95. Impeccable.
