She finally learned, and a month later mentioned she no long feared getting on the interstate. |
My pet peeve is the lack of a comprehensive drivers education requirement to get a drivers license in this country. Pitiful
(And a side peeve, me paying taxes for the damage done to streets by people who think they need studded snowtires in a town that gets MAYBE one good snowfall a year.)
