What got me to post this is the cartoon…….


Dear Jerry: the last time I tried for a shot like this, I failed. I set me timer on my camera and threw it up in the air. I didn’t do so well to catch it. It’ll cost about $6000 to repair. LOL!

I don't think it is poor driving skills that make USA roundabouts terrible, I think it's bad design.

There's a roundabout near us that you essentially have to drive through an S curve BEFORE you even enter the roundabout. So it's turn left, turn right, turn left, turn right. This isn't the Monaco Grand Prix!

"...for a place counts itself as an educated first world country." Yeah, talk is cheap. We trail most of the developed world in education and in many other areas. We have a lot of stupid, arrogant, frightened people here.

As Carlo Cipolla's first law of stupidity states: you will always and inevitably underestimate the number of stupid people in the world! So true!!!!
