Is this another oppressed indigenous white male suffering the indignity of having his former home taken over by those swarthy foreign types?
Comin' over 'ere... Payin' their bills!!!

I swear to Bob I am not making this up. This photo came to me today from Key West Express, the jet boat you take from Ft Myers to Key West if you don't want to drive for 9 hours and cross the Everglades, Miami-Dade and a 7 mile long bridge...
I am taking it as a sign.

Looked exciting in the 1989 Bond flick, but the dullest drive ever.
I would argue that the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is duller.

But it has alligators and cajuns, that should be concerning.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.
No driving scenery is worse than west Texas. Other desert areas at least have distant mountains. Here you're so far away from any object that there's nothing to judge your movement by. It's almost an optical illusion. One time on a family car trip, i asked my dad if we were even moving. To even his surprise, we were doing almost 100 mph.
In fact, I believe west Texas has some kind of space-time anomaly. You know how someone traveling near the speed of light will age faster?
This is the opposite of that. If you get in your car and drive 60 mph towards a city 100 miles away, after one hour you'll still have 75 miles to go. The faster you go, the longer it takes to get there. And when you do get there, it looks like 1962. I don't get it at all.

I did that drive once, New Orleans to Las Cruces in two days. I thought west Texas was never going to end. Like driving across Saskatchewan.

Possibly not during a hurricane....
was waiting for someone to float that idea.
I rode in the back of a station wagon across the old 7 mile bridge during Hurricane Agnes, whatever year that was. I was about 8 so I had no idea at the time how close I was to death that day.

Try most parts of New Mexico, on either side of the mountains, what little of Arizona I remember. New Mexico is notorious for time distortion, and UFO's, on the old road.

It is actually the other way round, but I get the point.
Yeah, I never really understood how that works. I remember first hearing about it in a TV commercial for Omni magazine, when I was a kid in the 1980s. It blew my 10-year-old mind. And I guess it still does.

Not in a truck with an air-ride seat. I was driving a Penske rental Freightliner and the seat synced with the road surface humps. I ended up with about 1.5 feet of butt-height-travel every few seconds for miles. It was...entertaining.

The speed of light is fixed and the same for all observers. If light behaved the same as sound or bullets then its measured speed should depend on it's motion relative to the observer but it doesn't therefore time has to change instead.
It's very easy if you don't think about it too much and accept the fact that it's very weird and proven to be true.

It is useful to remember that space, time and gravity are so interconnected that they seem to be aspects of some greater thing, and the puzzle now and I supect for a whie to come is figuring out just what it all is. It's the grand unifying principle that Einstein and many others have failed to come up with. I am pretty sure that I won't live to see it, and it's the only thing I regret not seeing.
The only serious thing, anyway.
