You''re ssfe, Bru. Would not dream if ttying to drive over there. From whst I see on TV, Youtube and the movies driving in America is either utterly boring or utter nutters!

[Icarus]

Hmmmph!  I agree that far too many the US drivers are nutters.  The Brit drivers are even more confused because they insist that they must drive on the wrong side of the road.

It's one of the things that makes me not miss having a car.  Does anybody check their mirrors before changing lanes these days?

I don't think so. My husband and I seem to have a least one near miss every time we get on the highway. If it is not some idiot on their phone, it's another idiot who is so intent on getting ahead of everyone else that he finds himself in the far left lane right before his exit and makes a mad swoop through traffic so he doesn't miss it.

And don't get me started on the tailgaters! I'm keeping up with traffic. If you are in such an all fired hurry, move over to the fast lane!

Back in September I get rear-ended while on my way home from work on the freeway and my car ends up being totaled. Last week I'm on my way home from work and at a stop on the service drive when a young lady rear-ends me again....about $400.00 worth of damage.

I feel like I have an invisible bullseye on my back...(The girls is in college, she attends a local campus close to the office, and her father agreed to pay me directly for the repairs.)

There is an island up on the straits of Mackinaw here in Michigan, right where Lakes Michigan and Huron meet, and just east of the Mackinaw bridge which connects the lower part of Michigan with what we call the Upper Peninsula....they don't allow any cars on the island except emergency vehicles.
Transportation is either horse, bicycle or walking...I should move there.

With your luck a bike will spook a horse which will kick you in the balls while you're walking down the road!

Oh, for the love of Odin! 

Someone record when that happens!

I was supposed to report for jury duty down in Detroit this morning, Third Judicial Court.

You pay $10.00 for parking, and then sit in a crowded room with other potential jurors waiting to be called. If you're not called you could end up sitting there for 4-6 hours.

The place smells, and you are not allowed any electronic devices, to include phones while you are there.

I was dreading this for weeks, and came in work early yesterday, and worked late so as to be caught and even ahead of my work...checked in last night to see if I had to report, and they listed a bunch of group numbers that cut-off right at my number.

I was so happy, but checked it three times last night, and checked it again this morning just to be sure. Plus I did a screen shot of the group numbers posted so I have proof just in case they try to pull something.

This is a first for me, as I always get called in. I've sat in on two trials, and was picked for a third, but right at the last moment the defense attorney requested I be dismissed. (It was an armed robbery case, and I always wanted to ask the lawyer why he dismissed my out of curiosity)

Now I'm at work and since I got a lot of my stuff done yesterday I have a little time to goof off this morning.

That's great Father Bruno, though I had always imagined jury duty, while not exactly being fun, would be interesting to sit through.
