A few quick notes because I haven't even been home 10 minutes & I
already have to reboot this computer to install updates.
1. The most wonderful thing I discovered in all of my travels is the joy
of coming home to a bathroom that has the right kind of toilet paper.
2. Why do traffic engineers love traffic circles (aka round-a-bouts) so
much when most American drivers have no idea what to do when they come
to one?
I'm thinking specifically of the driver who came to a complete halt in
front of me and waited until traffic cleared so she could TURN LEFT.
For those who are unfamiliar with driving in the U.S., we drive on the
right side of the road, so traffic circles naturally flow to the right
(counter-clockwise).
3. I haven't made up my mind whether there are more bad drivers in
Phoenix, AZ or Atlanta, GA.
I'm leaning toward awarding the prize to Atlanta simply because Georgia
has apparently removed all of the rest areas along their Interstate
highways, with the exception of the "Welcome Center" where the
Interstate crosses the state line.
FWIW, the aforementioned traffic circle was in Payson, AZ.
4. The warmest reception I received at those state Welcome Centers is a
tie between I-40W in Oklahoma, I-40W going into New Mexico from Texas
and I-20E coming into Vicksburg, MS from Louisiana. Georgia was closed
by the time I got there, and South Carolina no longer even has a map
posted anywhere that you can consult if you get there after dark. Plus
in South Carolina, you're only "welcome" for 30 minutes and then you
better move along.
