All right. Another idea. How feasible is it to come up with a concept
of a ``foldable'' building? I'm not talking tent or trailer home, but
some construct that looks and works like a real building when setup, but
when the occupants are elsewhere for extended periods of time, can be
``folded'' into something that is easier to make fire resistant?

And still be acceptable looking? I don't see how the 'make habitable'
or 'put it back in the box' transitions wouldn't take the entire
week-end. What do you do with the furniture and appliances? Plumbing?

Paper starts to burn at (from memory) 200 C or so, and plenty plastics
melt before water starts to boil. Good point, that is a problem for data
media. Whoops, gone are the backups.

That's why my sister (on the other side of the country) and I have been
acting as remote backup servers for each other.

I know of several places here with three way splits (2-3-2 for the
most part).

There aren't many roads that wide in Europe, at least not that I know
of (which doesn't say much). 2-2, 2-3, 3-3 maybe (so 2-2-2 might be a
possibility).

Around here, four lanes in each direction is not uncommon. When that
type of road intersects with one of similar size, you may see a 3/2 or
even a 2/3/2 set of lanes, with the 3 being "this" road continuing
through, and the two lanes leading to the "other" road, possibly in
both directions. But elsewhere, it can be quite ridiculous. I know of
a stretch of Interstate 95 near the Newark (New Jersey) airport that
has (or at least had) six lanes of "local" traffic divided from 6
lanes of "through" traffic - for a total of twelve lanes in each
direction (plus "breakdown lanes" on the side where you can stop if
your car dies for some reason). The "through" traffic went for about
10 miles without an exit/entry, while the "local" traffic had 4 or 5
exit/entry points. The "through/local" concept is used in a number of
places to try to speed the commute traffic.

[left exit - passing on right?]

Legal under specific conditions that would/do include the left exit.

I was thinking more of acceptability to the drivers. Here, if you find
someone going 60km/u in the left lane, you're not allowed to pass even
if you and it are the only vehicles around.

This is more a freeway situation, and someone driving that slow is
violating at least one (maybe two) laws unless traffic in general is
that slow. The exits are generally built for "highway" speeds, and if
not, they would have a ~1/4 mile deceleration/exit lane _added_ to the
existing road - while the left lane restriction would also not apply
in that rough distance to a left exit. Yes, we get the idiots
(generally doing speed limit, to 5 MPH under) in the high speed lanes.
Unfortunately, rocket launchers, recoilless guns, and similar hardware
tends to disintegrate the target, and the debris on the roadway may
impede the traffic even more than the idiot.

Cue the (turkish?) family of four with the oldest kid, an utterly
spoiled girl of six or so, making a racket repeatedly.

This happens everywhere. Unfortunately.

To bad this service only runs mainly on the freeways. It goes no where
near my or my wife's commute.

What, doesn't everybody live next to the freeways? ;-)

It just seems that way. I'm 8 miles by air from one (14 miles by road)
and 7.5 miles from another (8 or 11 miles to the nearest exits). The
state planning commission claims that they'll be extending another one
so that it's about 2 miles away RSN. However, the county operated bus
service stops at roughly the nearest freeway (even though the city
border is nearly 15 _additional_ miles beyond that freeway which is 15
miles from "down town"). That supposed freeway extension wouldn't do
anything for our commute, because there won't be a N -> E/W or E/W ->
N exit (no idea why) - though it would help heading South into the city.

So - how is it going finding a temp agency?
