Hah.

Just another simple, sensible thing you have in Europe....

In the USA, many road race tracks offer driving schools on off weekends - but "many" is a relative term, since there are few road race tracks at all in the USA - and they are all sponsored. So you drive the track's cars, all the same, and it's not possible to compare different makes and models.

It's the exact opposite in Auckland

For a city that endures days of crappy weather, drivers have no idea how to handle the roads when it rains. Same in Perth...OOO it's raining..what shall we dooooooo

When Ian was in Edmonton with me, he learnt very quickly how to drive in -30C! He did univ in Christchurch which does get a bit cold but nothing like Edmonton.

I do remember the side street we lived on in Edm & it was rarely plowed. I think i biked back then & would normally have to walk my bike down the street through really big ruts hoping that it hadn't melted much that day.

How much more can I take?

Stress, I mean. On the one hand, I got 7 of 11 things on my to do list done. I just haven't written down the other 100.

blah. I need a drink.

BTW, this is what I'm doing (click on regional tournaments) ssyb.com

I hate to admit it, but I'm so glad that Bonnie explained that the second word's origins come from Eulogy - I was completely confused as to what the woman meant.

Karen,
I think everyone can relate to that feeling of never getting even close to the end of one's To Do list. It can be overwhelming.
Treat yourself to a little break, which can make you come back all refreshed and more energetic.
Hope you feel a bit better today.

That is so funny. Thanks so much, I needed that. I have been having such a stressful and miserable work week that I needed the laugh. I can always count on you Zen.
