About a week before the Super Bowl, hard to believe, seems like football season passed by too quickly.

Bay Area traffic has become even more insane. CalTrans and CHP created a website just for Superbowl Traffic.

Just curious about those who cannot (or won't) write in cursive: How do they sign a check? (or any other document) Do they just make an X and have someone else witness that they made their mark?

I don't use checks, but for other documents...I would, if I could!

Similar subject (writing), but different direction. How many of you can write upside down? Example: you are across the table from a friend, who is looking at a map. You get out your pencil and trace a road on the map while they are reading the map (to you, it is upside down). You need to write 22 MILES, TURN LEFT but cannot grab the map and turn it around to do so. Can you write/print that upside down? And if you try, will your friend be able to read it? Try this on a blank piece of paper before you answer.

1/28 - 2: Made it back home; Tried it Fuzzy and it is legible. Of course I am dyslexic and can write with both hands.
Played the co-worker two more games of chess, the first he won; the second I slaughtered him.

Tracking shows my package isn't expected to be delivered until Monday now.
I had it shipped to my house because it should have arrived by Saturday. So, not only do I have to wait until Monday, but I have to hope nobody steals it while I'm at work!
I know, 1st world problems...

Have a great evening, everyone!

I imagine it will be pretty nuts around there the next week and a half, traffic and otherwise! Stay safe.

Yeah, the news is forecasting 2 weeks of nuttiness with a 100% chance of craziness.

Made it back home; Tried it Fuzzy and it is legible. Of course I am dyslexic and can write with both hands.

I don't get the association you and Blue both made to dyslexia (getting words mixed up in a sentence). Did you, perchance, mean ambidextrous (you can use both hands equally)? I can do that too, but I know very few people who can write legibly upside down. Those who have a "drafting" mindset (who can see a printed word as a construct - circles, squares, intersecting lines, etc.) are better at inverted writing. I found it to be lots of fun while playing desk clerk at Grand Canyon and the number of guests who were totally aghast that I could do it so easily and quickly.

1/28 - 5: Not my form, wrote the whole word correctly but all of it backwards and in reverse; sentences and all. Caught the teachers attention..... So I have to be careful not to revert back; funny you asked me to do so today. I did drafting and loved that job and have that mindset as well. Yes as well as ambidextrous.

@Fuzzy Thunderbear - I don't know about folks who can write legibly upside down, but I do know folks who can write legibly backwards. One is dyslexic, the other just practiced as a child.

trying to finish up a project before leaving for the weekend but don't look like it'll happen - system I'm having to use is going way too slow today.

I do know folks who can write legibly backwards.

I understand the dyslexia... more common to misplace words in a sentence than letters within a word (which I do often and have to re-read everything before hitting "post"), but help me out with the "write legibly backwards" part. Do you mean

I find it much easier to do the one on the bottom than the one in the middle. I don't seem to have a problem with mirror-image words or even whole sentences. As I suggested earlier, those artistic and "drafter" mentalities can see words/letters easier as a simple graphic construct instead of being restricted to seeing a word as an entity unto itself. I wonder if the shrinks ever thought of this as talent rather than a disease?

project didn't get finished - oh well
for some reason traffic was heavy and slow - sunny, warm and dry - just way too many non drivers on the road

Looks like I'll be getting to Indy about 20 Mar. Unless HR screws up more stuff - and they probably will or at least try to.
