It establishes a general rule: "Faster users yield to slower users". That is fine, engineers approve of rules. Then it lists some specific rules. Are these examples? Special cases? They don't create a hierarchy, and the last one violates the general rule! Aauurrgghh! Yes, it is tough to be an engineer.
On a happier note, here is a picture I snapped close by the last one:
You may need to view this full-size to see it, but just above the middle of the picture you can see that one branch of the cottonwood tree has yellow leaves on it! It is still August, but at least some leaves are starting to change color! I may yet survive another summer.
Yesterday I taught a lesson to the Elders' Quorum in our ward. About half-way into the lesson a brother raised his hand and said he wanted to hijack my class for three minutes. I raised my watch, pushed a button as if starting the stop watch, and said "Go!". He actually had a very good topic, which occupied something close to three minutes. When he was done I said I wanted to un-hijack my class, but he thought it should be re-hijack. I am not sure we ever settled that.
