Pariah Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Gingham? I kind of always thought of space-time as chenille. Or maybe burlap. One of those two extremes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Oh, I figured that out and looked it up. Just that my existing associations for "Queen Anne" are to an overly expensive residential neighborhood here with a road network famous for its misfeatures.

Cancer Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 No, there's nothing as rational as a traffic circle. This. Seven-way intersection, stop signs all ways, important point in the on/off for the highway, with grade changes so you can't see all the incoming traffic when you're at the stop.
