[Shotimes] RE: Almost lost

[Michael S Wojton]

You know, it's funny; there's one of those circles not far from my house.
It's in a residential neighborhood, of all places.  Five or six streets all
converge on this one circle in a radial pattern.  Someone's idea of nice
scenery, I suppose.  And this is an 80 year old neighborhood, too.  Not
something new.  Unfortunately, my daughter's babysitter lives on one
of these streets, so I always look like an idiot going round a couple
times until I find the right street without passing it up.  Sheesh.

Well, you got me on the traffic circles.There were a few of those in NC when
I was there. Thank Bob Kentuckians have enough sense (or an absolute
inabilty to navigate) to leave roundabouts where they belong (ass-backwards
British roads).
