Bizarre Traffic Data
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that the first half of 2021 saw the highest half-year percentage increase in fatal car accidents in the history of data recorded so far. Data from the second half of 2021 has not yet been released…
“A statistical projection of traffic fatalities for the first half of
2021 shows that an estimated 20,160 people died in motor
vehicle traffic crashes. This represents an increase of about
18.4 percent as compared to 17,020 fatalities that were projected in the first half of 2020, as shown in Table 1. This
also represents… the highest half-year
percentage increase in the history of data recorded by the
Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).”
Perhaps people were just be happy to be out of lockdown and on the open roads again.
In completely unrelated news, it’s been more than 3 weeks since all of King County WA has had their garbage picked up! They claim it’s due to the weather when it’s a balmy 50 degress outside. And despite my recent FEDEX package being at a local station for over a week, it’s been sitting there with no one to deliver. Is this what controlled chaos looks like?


A reader just informed me that this latest piece never arrived to their gmail account, not even to their social/promotion tabs. Sad! Personally, I use protonmail whenever possible 🙌
I am just now seeing it after following the link in your most recent article describing your move. 🤷🏼♀️
