I used to love driving, I used to find it relaxing. (I passed my driving test 32 years ago, and passed my truckers test some years later.) Now it just frustrates me.

This is a lesson for me to at least check the blog and not rely on getting an e-mail if someone has commented.<br />Again I apologize.Mags118https://www.blogger.com/profile/02113829653848156631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-41591046096761115662011-07-18T18:16:19.984+09:302011-07-18T18:16:19.984+09:30@AV, Yeah, that wasn't really the motel pool, ...@AV, Yeah, that wasn't really the motel pool, the water was much greener and you couldn't see the bottom.<br />@Neo, That skit was about the same timeframe as the twits race skit..<br />@Mags, I avoid the city where ever possible, but sometimes you just have to go there.

Yes it certainly is rush, rush, rush in the city, time is very precious, I know this because I grew up a city girl and am still very much in the thick of it, I live 6km form the city heart. Unfortunately I think it's the same in any major city, some worse than others, but basically the same.<br /><br />I love going to the countryside for the peace and quite, also to relax and get away from the crowds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-27991592773141272112011-07-18T01:50:48.590+09:302011-07-18T01:50:48.590+09:30Glad you enjoyed your trip... will have to look fo...Glad you enjoyed your trip... will have to look for the Monty Python skit you referenced, I do remember the one Race of the Twits...lmaoNeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739762694942621947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915802695401210134.post-22512269000913569782011-07-17T22:08:02.877+09:302011-07-17T22:08:02.877+09:30Seen that top pic before, I thought that was a Tas...Seen that top pic before, I thought that was a Tasmanian Car Wash...<br /><br />AVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
