He is doing a wonderful job of it! :thumbsup:

He did mention that he is driving from what is normally the passenger seat. :rofl:

2. Thanks. He is passing a convoy of tractor trailer rigs now.
I only needed to suggest "hug the yellow line on your left" once.
He totally got the picture ... cause he's prolly been thinking "I wish Joani wasn't driving so close :scared: to those huge truck tires" as he was the passenger.

He's not alone in thinking that about huge truck tires. They can freak me out sometimes, too.

5. The critical time to be careful is when starting off in the am
Turning left as you come out of a driveway or intersection. I speak from experience after moving here from the UK. It's so easy to slip back into driving on the left without even realizing.
Good luck Billy!

Welcome to the USA! :hi:

16. Was in St. Croix (VI)
in May and did a little "other side of the road" driving. It's strange at first, but you get used to it.

Hey, has Billy tried any American food?

Please give Billy one of these from me >>>>>>>>>

18. I'll pass it along.

We could all use a few more of these ~

He has eaten lots of soup, bowls of fruit and salads. x( Finding food for a vegetarian isn't easy on a road trip.

23. I'm in the basement.
Just came down a few minutes ago. Harleydad is making cat food ... chased me out of the kitchen. He'll be making coffee next. I hope he hasn't lost his touch!

I'm so glad you had a good sleep! :hug:

28. I'm missin' you!
So sorry that you're sick.




bilyskank drives quite a bit slower than you do!
We didn't have to say "I'm sorry, Officer" like someone I know did last year.

29. *Ahem*
:blush:

at least you didn't sit with me in the car when that happened. And I didn't get into an accident .... it was just my German foot getting the better half of me .... and billyskank has to get used to driving on the "right" side of the street ... :rofl:


I'm feeling a bit better already. The medicine starts to work. It is almost like a week of vacation at home. Being lazy, sleeping a lot, watching TV shows I normally don't/can't watch .... next week I will be fit again for work.
