Nah, it's Barnes creek, not actually a river but it looks like one.

Thank you, I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

Looks like the Quinault River?

He’s from Pennsylvania, actually. He was just studying in WA.

Tennessee might not be the best example, it used to be one of the best cheap states in the country. Secret got out, now it’s overpopulated and poor infrastructure to support the rapid growth.

They said they are Local 46; that's Union. Look up Local 46, find out when they are accepting apprenticeship. In Portland, Local 48 usually has openings in July, maybe also January. It's a four year apprenticeship (maybe five years). Combination of classroom and job training. I think you work on the job four days, classroom one day per week. When you get through the apprenticeship, you are making Journeyman wages, same wage as my partner who has been a journeyman for 30+ years.

Also, the Teamsters have great benefits, too. A lot of companies are hiring trainees, on the job training while getting paid. My dad was a teamster, and drove local. If you get a CDL, there are a lot of jobs. A friend of ours is a garbage truck driver and makes almost as much as my electrician partner.

I’d like to read his PHD thesis paper

Way to capture the beauty of that area. Gorgeous shot!!!

I’m not talking about coordinating signals, just strictly the timing of yellows & reds. If you’re really as knowledgeable about transportation planning as you say, then you would know those are standardized and take into account the posted speed limit. I really don’t understand why you’re so deadset on fighting this point, but by all means, keep shouting into the void.

So long as the light is green or yellow when you enter the intersection you are correct.

All those lives cut short, and for what?

In another article it mentions he was arrested at his parents' home in a gated community. From looking at a map of the area, it appears to be a developed suburban neighborhood.

I'm sure he'll receive a failing grade for the semester.

The end of the article isn't clear on where exactly he as found, other than mountainous, rural PA. Was he hiding in a cabin in the woods, visiting family, vacationing?

I have many years experience working in city planning and transportation planning. I know it's a thing. What I also know is that not every signal series is timed. And certainly the three stoplights in my town aren't. We don't even know which light the OP is talking about. You know you're being hyperbolic.

Lol I’m not. This is a thing that traffic engineers do. They do have set algorithms and software to help, but they legit program traffic signal timing based on the posted speed limits, among many other factors.

It’s totally a thing. Traffic engineers make decent money. Maybe you’d like to join the profession? There’s a huge need for more engineers, and it’s very interesting work. Plus these are usually jobs with good health insurance and retirement benefits. Come aboard!

Ah the state of the US public education system...

Yet they apparenrly did the classic blunder of fleeing the state, instead of returning to their normal routine, unless maybe he only left during the holiday break or something

Wow, Washington geography is amazing. I'm having the best time exploring. I lived in Colorado for a while in my 20s, and I guess the Rockies are still my frame of reference for images like this.

The bootcamps aren’t quite that expensive here. It’s possible to do but it is not easy. You have to truly dedicate yourself, invest on your own time, etc.

A PhD student in criminology of all things. So premeditated, they decided to get a degree in how to catch killers before committing a mass murder.

Every single signal in the state? How does that work? You're making shit up.

If they’re functioning properly, yes.
