Now that I live eight miles away from it I find that I am getting use to it. It still isn’t easy but it is better than being scared of it. Our courthouse is downtown and I do have to go there once in a while. I can seem to stand up straight on my slopping front yard so dealing with the stepladder for me is a slow concentrated effort. My balance is being messed with as I get older. Be careful. L.

So many cars, so many people driving FAST, so much happening all at once. I drove across Canada once in the mid 1970s.
