Since I didn't drive yesterday, I got to have an extra-long driving session today and has already met someone who went through a red light. At least now I'm pretty confident about how fast I can slam the breaks.
You learn something new everyday, as Christine mentioned yesterday.
Afterwards I navigated mother through Macy's at Valleyfair so, see? I got to practice BOTH driving and navigation in one day. I doubt I can do both at the same time though, namely because when I'm driving I'll be too busy checking all the other things to keep the directions straight in my head.
I think I've mentioned my neighbor's infestation of squirrels before, ever since she got the bird-feeder. A while ago she used to use this toy gun to shoot rubberbands at the squirrels, so from my window I'd hear something like: CLICK! CLICK! And then the mad scrabbling of tiny claws on a tree bark as the squirrels flee to a safe range to regroup and counter-attack as soon as the neighbor's turned her back. Today I noticed that she (the neighbor) received a squirt-gun from somewhere and is now occupied with shooting the squirrels with water. I have to wonder about this--if the pain of rubberbands (they do hurt) can't keep the squirrels away, what can a bit of water do? (It's those type of toy guns you can find with the other water toys.)
Come to think of it, unless the squirrels are deathly afraid of water (which, observing from my window, they are not), the only advantage of the squirt-gun is that the neighbor won't have to pick up the rubberbands afterwards.
Squirrels looks funny clinging to the tree upside-down.
And thank you, Lucy. :-)
