No, he would have asked if it was your father's or you mother's theory :-D

Don't they have headlights on cars over there? Does She always drive onto things without even looking? Seems like operater errer to me. :^)

You can't trust anything but your own senses and judgement, even Google. Last time I grabbed a map online it directed me to take a road out of town that hasn't existed since the last wagon train left Bullhead City. That course would have taken me directly across the runway of our international airport!:laugh:

That's how a woman works. Now, a man would have opened both gates, driven through and not bothered to close either gate. If there were two women, one would have gotten out, opened both gates, the other driven through, then the first would have closed both gates. If there was a woman and a man, there would be an argument regardless of who was driving. If it was two men, the non-driver would have challenged the driver to simply crash through the gates. The macho image thing, you know. Marc

"If maybe I had been more aware of the situation, I wouldn't have had the accident. " Maybe? :doh: Well, let's hope the little lady learned something that evening.

Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand.
Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand.
-- Neil Peartthe implication here really scares me. What she actually said was that even if she was aware it was an RR crossing she still might've been dumb enough to park her car on the tracks. Oh well, at least it seems the UK educational system is traveling in the same handbasket as the US.
-- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer

When it first comes up, there's a long delay with the standard "please don't sue me" screen stating that you shouldn't operate it while the car is running. Among other things, it controls your heating and air conditioning. :doh: I have no desire to go with this computer screen stuff. I have a heads up display on my windshield so I don't have to take my eyes off the road. Why would I want controls that I couldn't operate by touch? Marketing... :~

Nah, we've been in a drought for 5 years at least and all the horses died off years ago. Fortunately they were delicious...
