You want bad driving? To my south, I have NYC/New Jersey drivers, to my east, I have Boston/Massachusetts drivers, and to my north, I have the crazy Canadians!NYC/NJ drivers really aren't that bad. Pretty average for densely populated areas. Boston's not great, but still not the worst I've encountered. DC is pretty bad, Philly is pretty bad, Columbus is just idiots.
Try Jacksonville (or Florida in general).
Green means go.
Yellow means look for the traffic cops before hurling across at roller coaster speeds
Red means if you're still three cars behind, you can make it through the intersection so long as the idiots ahead of you remember that Red doesn't really mean stop.

Should we alter our default replies to"press F1 for solution", "press shift+F1 for urgent solution" :w00t:
I LOVE that line. You need to put it in your .sig. @=)

Just the necessities are kept alive then 😀
Precisely.
I work from home a lot, and 3+ hour powercuts really hurt in that case.

Beautiful pics, Gail. Love the sunrise.

I just reported you to Steve for this Jason. I hit the "Report" button instead of "Quote" by mistake, but then thought "Hey, why not?"
I reported a post a week or so back, and got an out-of-office auto-reply email from 'Alice Smith'.
Real person? Steve's cross-dressing alter-ego?
I think we should be told.

I like picture 3 : Finaly computer romance :hehe:Unfortunately not. 😉
That was also during a power failure. I have 2 UPSs for the computer, TV, xbox and ADSL modem, but only candles for light.
I was thinking you were riding on a hometrainer loaded with dynamos . :w00t:
(would make a good workout too :hehe:)

Thought I'd help you get to 20,000!
I think Gail "wins" with JHB - I've got some friends who work for Visa out there and it's the only place I've visited where a "normal" family in the suburbs had their own armed guards and electric fences. On the other hand they do great steaks.
Not particularly dangerous on the roads here in Blighty - just a lot of mild road rage if you dare to push-in at any kind of queue.
I'd throw Bolivia in there as the scariest place I've ever driven - the mountain roads between La Paz and Potisi are outrageous (gravel roads with sheer drops, no barriers and insane lorry drivers)

Wow. I just found the most interesting article on VSS Writer and backups through it... Thought I'd share.
Though I'm sure most of you have already seen it before:

Always amazes me that I can drive up 71 to 95 all the way to Niagara Falls and back ....Slight problem: I-95 is nowhere near Niagara Falls! It passes through New York via the City (across the GW Bridge, if I'm not mistaken) and along/near the New England coast all the way up to Maine!
I assume you're talking about I-90?
Whatever. 71 turns into 90, I don't really have to look for anything. 😛 😀

I guess I should use pm and not the thread if I want to start that sort of discussion. Sorry.
Tom, after a good night's sleep and my first cup of coffee, I am going to thank you for calling me on that thread. While I still feel that posts like that are most probably advertisements, I could have begun with a more diplomatic response (like Leo) just in case the OP was sincere. For an initial reply, the tone I took was inappropriate.

Ugh, I've driven in Flodira just once, from GA to just south of Jacksonville. I came down from NJ 'cause I have a truck with a trailer and I was helping a friend move a piano and some other furniture to Albuquerque, NM. The traffic in FL was so bad I never want to go back.
Thanks to construction near a bridge, 2 highways merged from 7 lanes total to 1.

Families won't have their own armed guards, but a neighbourhood or complex may have guards patrolling all the time. Otherwise it's an alarm tied into a security company with armed response units on call.
On the other hand they do great steaks.
That we do. And great lamb (tried karoo lamb?). Both far cheaper than in the USA. (300g fillet steak for under $15?)

Cross dressing?!?!? Talk about an ugly, ugly image, in more ways. I think I'd be quite the candidate for the most hideous woman on the planet.
