Don't know about "wonderful", but I could agree on fascinating. That's the beauty of Tubenet, you never know what will happen next.

Indeed, it's 9 PM here and still high 60s, not too chilly to hang out outdoors in a t-shirt. It's a relief, after a week or so with temperatures often below 60F.

Around here we don't hang out outdoors in just a t-shirt. :shock: Our neighbors and the police insist we add shorts. :P

Hoping to take advantage of a break in the constant rain heading off to the giants causeway in Ulster in the motor home, going to the Titanic exhibition in Belfast on return leg.

Anticipated that, note that I didn't write "just a t-shirt". But on the weather, I spoke too soon - maybe not summer yet? Weather online says it's 61F, but I think it's below 60F where I am, at 10:30 AM. Miracle if we break 70F.

Yup, just as I had thought. Increasing the cycle length of a four-phase diamond increases delay and congestion.

The question is, though, how cycle length relates to throughput and residual queue persistence.

I'll keep you updated.

For the last 3 days (and the next 10 or so to come), I have found it impossible to read the news, check sports scores, or listen to the radio without some fool spoiling the results from the olympics. Why on earth can't people just give you a "spoiler alert" warning before blabbing the results? I get it that these events have already happened, but it is NO fun to watch when you already know what's going to happen.

What's odd to me is that I know folks who are recording the replays to watch even later!

On the other hand.... there are probably morons watching the replays hoping for different results!
