One-Sixteenth

I am glad that you guys are finally there. Once you figure out the roads and you have a new set of wheels and are feeling better everthing will start to look more appealing to you.

Absolutely, in this situation, drugs are good. Also gin.

OK, I haven't been able to get your blog to load for ages. Then I was gone. And now, wow, you're in Michigan! Finally! YAY! Did you like the doc? Did you get good drugs? I sure hope this move will signal the end of the ick for you guys - you've had more than your fair share. And yes, I'll keep praying for you. Health, peace, a car - good stuff.

I was going to suggest vodka, and chocolate too. But the drugs are definitely a good thing, and might make

Michigan look better faster lol.

Um, welcome home, I think : )

::ducking::

"Sometimes you turn left at a flashing red light instead of a green light ... but sometimes you don't. Sometimes in order to turn left, you stay in the right-hand land and turn right, instead."

On purpose? I mean, I've seen that in the Metroplex, but I don't think it's intentional.

But the real question is, does every street/highway have three or four different names, which change every quarter-mile or so?

Welcome home! Hope you get the medicine.

The gin and vodka are going to have to wait until I can breathe again, but they're good thoughts ;-)

Brian, it's more like this. You wander down a road that twists in every direction. Then you come to a light at an intersection. You turn at the light. But you're on the same road.

You can drive down a road and cross street B. A few miles later, you might cross street B again.

The streets do keep the same *names*, though. Just not the same directions. At least in Texas, although the name changes, you still know which direction you're headed in. The roads here owe nothing to Rome.

Are you settling in?
Do you need to compensate for lost school time?

I always have good intentions of making up for any lost time by "summer schooling," but it never seems to work out. Too hard to concentrate.

Oy. Glad you're there and sorry you're sick.

Weirdest thing about driving in IL is when making a left turn, and the light is green BUT the protected-left-turn light is red, it's apparently still legal to make that left turn. Or it's expected, anyway, whether it's legal or not. This has been a confusing issue for me and has led to many people honking their horns at me while I scream things like, "Jackasses like you are the reason my husband won't let me keep a gun in the car!"

Need a tour? Email me and I'll send you my phone number :) Yay! A jan98 mom in MI.
