traffic and the 1950s

Today I learned early that Hillary was coming to town to screw up our traffic and that the gem show, which also screws up traffic, has started enough to have a theft worth more than my first house.

In my effort to avoid getting stuck in traffic, I watched Forbidden Planet just to see Leslie Nielsen when he was whatever age he was in 1956, and I learned that seatbelts and incredibly short skirts were futuristic.
