Interstate 5 

Finished in 1979, Interstate 5 was designed to be the world's largest parking lot, and from the get-go was an immediate success, offering spaces for millions of vehicles for cities and services stretching along the West Coast from Canada to Mexico.

One of the lot's biggest criticisms is the fact that it offers spaces that go through national forest land, the remote west side of the Central Valley, and over mountain passes despite lack of services and weather hazards, and as such these parts are very rarely used throughout the year. Wasted space is such a problem, in fact, that many people use it as a highway at speeds up to 70 MPH in these places in spite of its intended purpose. Uniquely for a parking lot, it also has problems with people trying to smuggle drugs and people in from both Canada and Mexico. Despite this, in urban areas it continues to be highly successful, and puts ordinary parking lots the world over to shame.
I left my car on Interstate 5 for two hours and hey, it was still there! There's also always construction, so, you know, the parking is always better and less bumpy! Maybe!

Interstate 

n. American amateur raceway. Frequently becomes a facilitator for natural selection. Unfortunately, Interstate "natural selections" often involve normal drivers who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Syn: "Darwin's Little Helper"
Wow, those teens flipped that car while going 90 on the Interstate and weren't wearing seat belts. I guess they won't be breeding.

Interstate 35 

A major interstate highway in the central United States. It runs from Duluth, Minnesota, to Laredo, Texas, connecting the cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Des Moines, Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Dallas/Ft. Worth and San Antonio. It splits into I-35W and I-35E in the Minneapolis and Dallas areas. Not a scenic interstate, but few east of the Rocky Mountains truly are.
If you drive I-35 through Minnesota en route to Duluth, northern cities, or cities in eastern Minnesota and Wisconsin on I-94, take I-35E because I-35W sucks Crosstown Commons. If you are going to Minneapolis or going to western Minnesota cities on I-94, take I-35W to I-494 up to I-394 and east into Minneapolis, or I-494 up to I-94 on the northwest corner of the metro.

Lesson: Try to avoid I-35W if at all possible.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
