    Truck flipped near my house, screws up commute

    This has been a strange 2 days. Yesterday,I saw a gay Shakesperian scene (WHY IS BASSANIO KISSING ANTONIO?), my chemistry teacher took care of a baby kitten for a teacher and I met author "Lemony Snicket" (graduated from my school) who signed my book.

    Today gets even stranger. A truck carrying a load of wood flipped near my house. I was watching it on TV when I heard about it, but I thought it was somewhere else. It wasn't until I got there that I saw the lumber and thought "you have got to be kidding me".

    So I walked 6 blocks to get another bus that took me to another bus, adding god knows how long to my commute. Now I finally made it to class but... wow....

    The californian members might see this on the news tonight... or on the CALIFORNIA section of the local paper.

    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Because they have affection for each other may have been lovers and may well be so again after Bassanio/Portia marriage.

    Sounds bad....

    not so bad as the Los Angeles overpass melting from a tanker truck though.

    Accidents happen. Nothing you can do.

    It wasn't Los Angeles. That was the MacArthur Maze that was across the bay.

    KOTR, use a bicycle!

    And also- I'm assuming that you're referring to The Merchant Of Venice? There are strong homosexual undertones through an awful lot of Shakespeare's plays- take Othello as an example. It is reputed that Iago is actually deeply in love with Othello, therefore wants him dead because he's jealous. The same goes for Romeo & Juliet, with a love between Mercutio and Romeo that is only hinted at (Romeo is, as it happens, bisexual).

    As for the truck flipping- was anyone hurt..?
