Stephen Cowell's Comments

I believe you get a smidgen of roundabout in driver's ed... the problem being, no standardization of 'who goes first'. There is a standard of 'if you're in the orbital you have ROW'... when entering it, you yield.... France is finally coming on board with this, but there is some legacy confusion for 'priorité à droite'... the car on the right *always* gets ROW if the orbital is unmarked there, forcing those in the circle to yield. The USA aversion to using turn signals won't help either... pet peeve of mine.

Roundabouts are the best thing since sliced bread... traffic lights are a waste, letting cars cross lanes of traffic to turn is dangerous... just go up to the next orbital and pull a 'U'. Amazing that in the good old USA, where we have lots of room, we still put up with stop signs and lights everywhere, but in GB/Europe, where land is at a premium, they 'waste' the space to put them in. Roundabouts work, no doubt about it.

Driving 'over there', they queue to the left... based on the (non-USA) principle that you are never to 'undertake', i.e. pass to the right (or left in Britain). There will be no cones or other indicators, this is something you just 'know'. When traffic backs up and is shunted to one lane, that lane forms to the left... too bad I didn't know that when I passed a half-mile of cars! My Dutch passenger was laughing the whole time.

I shave with unscented Dove... works great, just scrub your wet face with the bar, then lather up with your left hand. You can shave with your right and have the soap on your left hand for the second go-round. Don't run the water, plug the sink and fill it, save our water! If you use the safety razor (I don't) be careful when you dispose of blades... they don't just go in the trash. Normally they go in the bottom of the pack they came out of.

Tabasco is for Bloody Marys... not Mexican food. Try some El Yucateco for the real stuff... or just purreed green chili. Salsa is something else (uncooked)... chile macho is something else again (cooked). Tabasco on Mexican food is a crime against humanity.
