However, I keep meticulous driving records, and I have discovered that the 2007 Toyota Corolla gets 8.3% better fuel efficiency by driving at what I will call “leftmost-lane flow-of-traffic speeds,” compared to “normal freeway speeds”. (Phrased [...]

How To Walk With Someone: Stairs
Some of you know me to be pretty observant. Some of you know me to be slightly obsessive-compulsive. Some of you know me as a very one-on-one type of person, in terms of how I prefer to hang out or go out with friends.
To those of you who know me as all three of those, [...] -

Google Wildcard Saves The Day
So, I was composing an e-mail this morning but had one of those tip-of-the-tongue (tip-of-the-fingers?) moments. I couldn’t figure out the correct word meaning “scope of differences” for the following context:
“There has been an increasing ______________ between the methodologies of the two systems…”
I thought “discrepancy?” No…
“Discongruency?” No, that’s not a word.
“Disp.. disparagement?” Haha, not the [...] -

Solution To Yesterday’s Puzzle
The results are in from yesterday’s coinage puzzle! It’s great to know that I have such intelligent (ahem, nerdy) readers. And for so many people to be interested in the solution (ahem, nerd wannabes)! May God bless you with Trekkie husbands.

Loose Change Puzzle
Here’s a question that plagues my life, and if anyone can solve it mathematically, props to you.
Truth is, I don’t like change. Coinage, I mean. As a male, I have no place to keep loose coins, unless they jangle in my pockets all day (and fall out) or pudge out my wallet. So I start [...] -
