Wow.</i><br /><br />I've been working on a post for YEARS now... in my head... about how a couple o' buds and I would take our morning coffee in this outdoor cafe right beside a traffic circle in Chiang Mai, Thailand. There were perhaps five streets feeding the circle and you had cars, trucks, buses, pedicabs, horse-donkey-and-ox carts, bicycles, and pedestrians ALL mixing it up. And we NEVER saw a single collision. Close calls, yeah. But never a collision. We spent hours there; the entertainment was non-stop.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-85758619683100189732010-11-16T13:27:43.574-07:002010-11-16T13:27:43.574-07:00And yet there were no collisions.

One would think that the Japs could maintain a constant speed. After all, Asians are smarter than us...never forget that.<br /><br />Buck, Pam was forced to drive Atlanta at near rush hour the other day. She had planned to get further along than Augusta, but called and said, "Atlanta just took the steam out of my boiler." But, she didn't have the pleasure of a failing vehicle to deal with.<br /><br />Fortunately, she'll miss Atlanta proper today, as she's coming home a different route in order to visit our niece. Too bad, huh?<br /><br />Love the screenshot. "Suspicious." Yeah, that's the ticket.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-73878530469619890652010-11-16T05:48:16.061-07:002010-11-16T05:48:16.061-07:00I saw the worst traffic jam ever - just a sea of v...I saw the worst traffic jam ever - just a sea of vehicles in Padua, Italy.
