  • If the sensor isn’t detecting you I totally understand! I’ve had that happen when riding my bicycle. But if it is detecting, then what’s an extra 15-60 seconds? I live in a state that allows a right turn on red after stop, and maybe I’m more chill about waiting.

    I also admit, I did that for the first time quite recently. But I don’t think a potential ticket is worth it.


  • I feel like lawlessness really ramped up during COVID. Underlying tension and lack of enforcement probably, but COVID is long over and people are still doing bonkers stuff. I saw people driving on the sidewalk because they wanted to left turn out of a lot and cars were in the way, people shooting the wrong way down the street to skip past a long line of left turning cars, and most of all people stopping at a red then deliberately running it because nobody else is coming.

    That’s what I’ve read before, that they’re one-and-done. But my cousin just told me he grew a second one from a plant he had, and that an uncle of ours in Hawaii said the 3rd generation is the sweetest – so I’m not so sure. Maybe Hawaii’s climate is more conducive?

    In terms of starting them, it’s been hit and miss. This is the 3rd time I’ve tried and the first time I’ve succeeded at getting a top to root. I recall I trimmed away more flesh and peeled more leaves off the bottom than I had done before, and I think I was much more patient when it was in water to wait for roots to emerge.

    My understanding is they like well draining soil and don’t like it too wet. I watered it about once a week with about 6 oz water – watering the plant itself so the water is primarily trapped in the bottom of the leaves and maybe the soil gets an incidental light sprinkle – and a bromeliad fertilizer every other week. It was outdoors during the summer but once it dropped into the mid 50s at night I brought it indoors. (ETA I’m in zone 10a or b).

    Since this is a giant sample size of 1 I’m definitely not going to claim any definitive must-dos. Just reporting on what I did.

    It makes sense if you’re growing crops in the US. planting fields are measured in acres, and plants should get X inches of water per whatever time period. They’re typically using sprinkler systems so the water is going everywhere, not just directed around the plant as we would in a home garden.
