What Hawaiian baps? I've never seen them, too cosmopolitan for PA probably.

King's Hawaiin (I think) sweet rolls. They're in an orange wrapper, usually at the cooked meat counter. I'm sure you have them in PA if we have them up here.

No, those would be the drunks who have lost their drivers license, around here at least

They're still drunk....I came within inches of running one over a couple nights ago when he jumped out behind a parked car causing me to swing out into the other lane to miss him. Bonus points for wearing all black clothes and not having lights on

You can still get done for riding a bike drunk, can't you? Apparently you can get done for walking drunk too according to my wife.

I never thought about being able to post mail from my own mailbox. That is cool.

In theory as you're operating something while intoxicated...but will you? Bugger will you.

What amuses me is helmet laws. Up in Maine, if you ride a bicycle, you need to wear a helmet, but cops will only "enforce" it for those under 18. You can ride a motorbike without a helmet though, because the bikers association is so big they were able to vote it down

I hate you all.

I've tried, on numerous occasions, in a couple places here in MA and when we lived up in Maine...not once has it ever worked.

I know they should pick it up, but they just don't bother.

Do any Americans suffer from atrophy of the legs at all? If not, why not?

When we first moved here hubby thought the mail man put the flag up when we had mail, he didn't pick it up for 2 weeks
