Hexagon City

Has anybody else noticed that the system of East, West, North, South isn't really that efficient? Importantly, we build cities on this principle and we waste a lot of pavement on the extra roads and a lot of electricity on our stop lights. I think Ben Franklin was wrong with his square grid. We should have a hexagonal grid as I outlined below. There are only three directions, not four. You only go one way on a road and they alternate on whether they have two lanes or one. If you want to go opposite a direction, you take the other two routes to do so. It's more efficient going in diagonals and I suspect even going opposite, as above, given the lack of stoplights. More on this later... with Hexagon Globe.

That's the sound of me stepping off of my soapbox now.

I don't know why everybody hates it when it snows.  With the snow on the sidewalks, it's an opportunity to try out my new boots.  With the snow on the road, I like testing out my amazing skills behind the wheel.  With the giant clothes, I don't have to worry about my girlish figure.  These opportunities to test the limits of mind and body don't come along too often and I love the chance to try it out.  Well... I aggrandize.  It's not the limits of mind and body, but it sure is fun.  My favorite snow is the big floppy flakes where its cold enough for them to stick to everything.  We got that kind of snow on my birthday last year.
