Insurance is required in all of Michigan, with fines, license suspension, and jail all possible for not having it. With Michigan’s no-fault insurance we have some of the highest rates in the country in Detroit—especially relative to income—and almost no viable alternative to owning a car.
That said, as a native Detroiter I feel safer in Detroit driving around other Detroiters, the suburbanites and out of state folks are always in the way.
Sometimes I increment my cruise control down a mph at a time to see how much I can get them to slow down
Thanks for the tip, here’s another attempt uploading as you suggested: 
This was the first spider like this I’ve noticed in my garden, but it was while I was picking berries in July. I’ll watch the blooms next year. From your other comment I did see a crab spider in my parents garden earlier in the spring, the legs do look similar *Edited with more into
I had a similar white spider between the leaves in my raspberries eating a fly, but it was somehow holding the leaves together, preventing me from getting a better look without disturbing it’s meal. Seems like I can’t add an image to the comment tho
Here in Detroit, Stellantis just asked for their factory to be allowed to pollute more, despite neighbors pushing back at how much they already pollute.

Is this Escher’s secret sign home?

I have a wool plaid cape I got from a woman’s estate sale but it isn’t necessarily gendered, though as a man I haven’t been brave enough to wear it outside of the house yet except to a Burns supper where I got a lot of compliments. My coworkers are used to seeing me wear it on video throughout winter
Edit: after some googling it may be a cloak and not a cape since it is full length. I wear it as a sweater replacement

Kiwi! I downloaded this over 15 years ago when I first saw it in college so I could have it forever
Those are some of the first below-grade expressways built in the country, so the shorter on ramps are from an era with fewer and slower cars, and there isn’t space to lengthen them. The law only changed to stop the insurance companies from using zip codes to determine rates, and reduced the maximum payout for healthcare related costs from a crash, with the aim of lowering costs, but of course the insurance companies worked around it.
