The last pic will give you an idea of the amount of rain we have been getting lately. Sam [Reply]   [No Email]

What does it mean? [Reply]  [No Email]

The only things we have that are 500 years old are rocks. It never occured to me before that traffic circles turn clockwise in countries that drive on the left side of the road. [Reply]  [No Email]

A small town near me recently decided to do away with three different intersections and install roundabouts. Problem was, few people around here even knew what a "roundabout" is! There is still mass confusion at those intersections and you have to be very careful when you enter one. [Reply]  [No Email]
