Aedan still isn't talking much. He says "mama," "dada," and "my." But, now he meows. He talks to the cats. I wonder if they can understand each other.

My mom said that my first word was 'no'. Because that's what she was always screaming at me. (I was a terror at an early age)Aedan still isn't talking much. He says "mama," "dada," and "my." But, now he meows. He talks to the cats. I wonder if they can understand each other.
I know in my mom's drivers ed class they do something to understand void areas of their car (this is just where you can't see around your vehicle, which changes depending on your car.) Obviously this isn't exactly what you're talking about, but does help you to understand where your car is on the road.I've heard that it's possible to rent traffic cones; does anyone have any idea where? I really need to get a feel for the Dart's dimensions, and the easiest way I can think of to do that is to run into something - traffic cones in an empty parking lot seem like the best option.

I saw something like that in a drivers' safety class when I was still working. There they used a big rig and put cars around the truck while it was moving and showed what the driver saw. Then they pulled the camera back from above, I guess with a helicopter, this was before drones, and there were all these cars that the driver could not see.I know in my mom's drivers ed class they do something to understand void areas of their car (this is just where you can't see around your vehicle, which changes depending on your car.)

What they do is have the driver sit in the drivers seat and another person moves in different areas around the car and when the driver can't see them anymore, they put down a cone (or a waterbottle). In the end you can get out of the car and see all the spaces that aren't visible when you are in the vehicle.
You don't have to necessarily do the exercise, but you could use their idea of using painted water bottles instead of cones as something you can hit.
I love this. My sister went to a demonstration in Texas where she sat in the drivers seat of a big rig and they had cars sitting around it that you could only see once you got out of the truck There was a complete car in front of the truck that could not be seen.I saw something like that in a drivers' safety class when I was still working.

I remember there was one on each side just behind where the driver could see them directly but not yet picked up by the side mirrors. The one that has stayed with me was the one right behind the truck and another behind that one which were invisible from the driver's seat. The idea was to show us where NOT to be around a truck going down the highway. Most people follow a truck too close or ride next to one. Remember that if you can't see the driver either directly or in his mirrors then he can't see you either.
They were only sitting in a parked truck with vehicles all around to demonstrate what you could NOT see.I don't think I would ever be brave enough to drive a huge truck.
I never wear rain gear and don't own an umbrella. I get wet but never soaked. Maybe because I'm an Aquarius. lolHow are some people able to walk out into the pouring rain with heavy wind with zero rain gear and not get soaked? There were plenty of people at the transit station today who were nearly bone dry even though they had to walk in from the outside. Me? I was soaked from the waist down despite wearing rain boots and a long coat and I had an umbrella.
Let us know if he starts purring. Better yet, post a video.Aedan still isn't talking much. He says "mama," "dada," and "my." But, now he meows. He talks to the cats. I wonder if they can understand each other.
Nor I. I've seen the runaway truck lanes in the mountains.I don't think I would ever be brave enough to drive a huge truck.
All the comforts of home except a shower; for that you need a truck stop. It's also difficult to travel with cats.Those big rigs are self-contained with all the comforts of home: my son's has a refrigerator and a microwave in it and of course a twin-size bunk, he even has a port-a-potty just in case the urge hits him and he is a long way from a rest stop. So far he has used it only once when caught in a snow storm on Donner Pass and all the roads were closed to cars and trucks had to have chains and traffic was still just crawling at 10 mph. took a long time to get over that pass and he could not wait any longer.
Dunno; I keep a small umbrella in the car, as well as a rain cape.How are some people able to walk out into the pouring rain with heavy wind with zero rain gear and not get soaked?

I hope things start to improve today!How's your Saturday?
