In the county where I live, they keep putting up more and more of those cameras that catch you speeding. From my perspective, it just makes speeding less safe. Instead of keeping my eyes on the road, now I also have to be looking at the side of the road for cameras.

My 15-year-old daughter doesn’t appreciate all my teachable moments. Her and a friend of hers were in the backseat of the car. I was driving. They were talking about a girl who got an infection that could be transmitted sexually, as well as through other means. (Knowing the girl in question it’s was almost surely via other means.)

“That’s why you have to realize that condoms don’t protect against all diseases,” I said. “They make it less likely you’d get a sexually transmitted disease, but for some diseases, it’s still possible to get them.”

In the mirror I could see that my daughter’s friend was actually paying attention.

In the mirror I could also see that my daughter wanted to jump out of the moving car.
