This would make Hummer drivers think twice before cutting you up, wouldn't do much for the potholes though

PS. Piddling down in NYC. Ugh! horrid. Hate rain.
Same here Frank, horrid isn't it.

Hey I had a thought about your trip to Ohio. If you played your cards right you could drop in on us for lunch, Sarah for dinner, there's probably more on BE that are on your route if they'll admit to it. Could end up costing you a lot less!

Don't do anything that I wouldn't tell hubby about Frank. Besides you'll have your wife and son with you.

What a great idea, but not needed down here in snowbird land, where they won't tempt the dears with parallel parking.

I can parallel park perfectly. My bloody instructor had me do hrs of just parallel parking in peak hr traffic in Johannesburg :scared: . Can do it there, can do it anywhere!

Don't laugh. I could tell you stories.

One is about a man named Herman.

He was driving along in peak hr traffic one morning, on the I-95, and gets a frantic call from his wife Sylvia, who'd been listening to the radio.

'Herman, be very careful, the radio says that there's someone driving the wrong way on the I-95'.

Herman replies, "ONE, NOT ONE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS!'.
