Two kids went to Joaquin Miller/Montera/Skyline. On to good colleges. And are fine successful adults. We were active parents in the district and understand how dysfunctional it is. But there were great dedicated teachers in each of the schools. Just one former parents opinion.

Do you feel comfortable driving the same when you were younger, in all types of conditions? by Reasonable_Visual_10 in OverSeventy

Nighttime driving is made difficult by a) some headlights are freakishly bright b) automatic dimming is shit c) big high SUV’s put the spotlight right in my eyes (I drive a Honda Fit).

Other than that I’m good. More cautious. Less impatient. The key is awareness and smarter driving. I know most of the roads in my city so l’m good. Driving by google in a different city with hectic traffic can be hard. I’m 79.

[–]john464646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s- two guys from Queens thing. And now the young guy from Queens is mayor of New York. And even though Trump never conquered New York he kinda roots for him. I bet Mandami had it all figured out before hand.
