Get Off the Road...!

(Admittedly, this post is a bit late. It's something I was going to post many weeks ago, but didn't get to. Now with my new found "blog time," I figured I would play a little "catch up." I'm planning on an old post tomorrow as well.)

...My son is driving! He finally took his driver's ed this Summer and now has his "temps." What a milestone! Of his core group of three friends, only two of them rushed to start driving. He and another friend really had no interest, and decided that when one of them did finally take the plunge, that the other one would as well. So this Summer, that friend's parents made him do it, so...

Incidentally, did you know that the "proper" hand placement, "10 and 2" when I started driving, and "9 and 3" when my sister, (15 years my junior), started driving, is now "8 and 4"?!? What the Hell! Try it once. Talk about awkward! I much prefer my own style, thank you: right arm resting on the center "arm rest" at the elbow, left arm draped over the steering wheel at the wrist or below, at 12 o'clock.

Yeah...I am cool...
