Edward, I guess that it's "Nervana" for you while it's "Nirvana" for them.
I recall when I visited the US in 1972 that 55 was the absolute upper speed limit - maddening. At one time in the UK, there was a two-part bumper sticker (or one with appropriate arrows) which indicated "overtaking" on the right side of the car and "undertaking" on the left. Of course, this only makes sense because I mentioned the sticker is used in the UK. You can imagine how troublesome I found driving in your state with overtaking on either side being legal. There may be another of those UK/US terminology reverses here. In the UK we overtake in the "outside" lane and regard it as the safer of the alternatives. Perhaps this is the "inside" lane in the US - because it's closer to the centre? Or at least that's how it was when I lived in the UK. I'm now living in Belgium and here you can be pulled over by the police for NOT exceeding the speed limit. Once at 5 in the morning I was obeying the law all alone on an urban dual carriageway and some lights appeared behind. They followed me round a couple of bends and the van pulled up alongside when I parked outside my house. "You're obstructing the garage." was the best they could come up with. It seems as if someone behaving unusually by actually observing the speed limit, especially on a deserted street at night, must have some sort of criminal intent. Incidentally, I once saw a cartoon of US police pulling over a car because it was going too slowly. This was some years ago and, at the time, would never have happened in the UK, hence the opportunity for humour. Chris Mason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward E.
