Beware Passing the Parked Car, Bicycle Reminder.

Possibly true, but sitting on the curb side of the car also makes it more difficult to see the road, especially around curves going in a curbward direction. My main objection to that plan is purely selfish; I'm right handed so shifting with my left hand would take some getting used to. nate In our area everything is right hand side of the road way with left hand vehicle controls, pretty normal. But there's an increase in right hand drive Japanese cars coming into the country. I had to laugh the other day when my buddy and I were at the local donut shop for a coffee. We watched a guy in right hand drive car backing down the drive through to place his order and pick up a coffee. Never seen that one before. -- A website is a place, where, when you go there, it does everything possible to distract you, from finding the information you came there to see.- E.W. |

I guess that just leaves skis, perforated cheese or The Matterhorn -- all of which is preferable to Canada's lame maple leaf and aquatic rodent. I like the maple leaf. Back in the day it took a Maple Leaf (Dave Keon) to bring Jean Belliveau down a peg. But I respect 'em both as all-time Hockey greats. I like maple trees. "There unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees ..." I like maple wood. The body of my custom-made solid-body guitar is bird's-eye maple, and the 3-piece neck is embroidered with tiger-stripe maple. I like maple seeds in the spring. It has been my experience that those helicopter things drop at back-to-school time, in the late spring/early fall. My route to school was lined on the boulevards with Eastern maple trees planted by a Great War vet who planted them to commemorate the fallen. Talk about nostalgia! I recall that route to school, and regularly encountering this old coot on the sidewalk with a barrowful of doughnuts for sale; a paraffinized canvas tarp covered his wares from the weather. I never had the nickel with which to buy a doughnut, just tokens for weak-knee'd soup & cocoa in the school lunch room. I think the old coot was also a Great War vet, 'cuz he never said anything, nor spoke with anyone. Maple trees are great. Douglas firs are ~great~. Maple trees are nice. Did I mention that I like maple syrup? Didn't Gordon Lightbulb do a song about that stuff? Anyways, Canadians "get" the import of maple trees, but I doubt the rest of the world does. I bet Australia doesn't use the eucalpytus leaf as an international trade symbol. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |
