Oh, and by the way, they paved over the burned part of the road where my former car started on fire. Not certain if I'm happy or sad about that.
Well, back to painting, and general furniture repair ... and waiting for the dishwasher repair guy (different company, I'm hoping this company has competent employees). |
Well, in IL's defense, (according to Chris, who is Chicago born and raised), look who we have making our traffic laws.
But drivers here are fearless and stubborn to the point of being stupid. State Rt. 2 runs through the middle of town. There are two ways to get to it. One involves a suicidal corner, and the other involves a left turn off the main road through town with no left turn lane. Anyone trying to turn left off Galena Ave. onto Rt. 2 at certain times of day can tie up traffic for half an hour. Turning left ON to Galena at certain intersections can be just as problematic.
I saw a lady turn left off Galena onto Rt. 2 the other day in front of a semi...missed her by thismuch. No one else even turned a hair. I shook for half an hour.
