Went on the new
TOLL 429 -
Orlando Western Beltway this morning. The
toll booths
kick ass - the
E-Pass express lanes are full speed and the
change/receipts lanes are on the outside, signed almost as an
exit. A drawing is at http://oocea.com/images/tollplaza.jpg .
Today we're celebrating the fact that last
Sunday and the day my
brother Dave was
born are
equivalent mod one
revolution of the
earth around the
sun. So he invited over his
friend Alicia (
platonic I'm
pretty sure). Of course they go up here and turn the
Playstation volume up all the way, and it turns into an argument, and they have to
go downstairs and play on the TV down there (which is better - but they thought our parents were watching a movie). Problem taken care of for now
at least.
For this
monumental occasion of the
equivalence of the said values, I am giving my brother a
TI-89, the fourth one I've won at a
math competition. (The second one went to my
math teacher and I traded the third for an
HP49.) I almost didn't give him the
calculator because he's been bugging me
aboot it forever, but I didn't want to give him
Pukemon and I had nothing else to do with the calculator.
