-If so, can you give an example of where to where?
Everyday here if I go anywhere, be it to town or to the big cities, people would be amazed at just how many backroads there really are all over this country!
Even if it was just a school play, has anyone in your family ever been bitten by the acting bug? My oldest GD was bitten the very first time that I took her to see a live play (of the Velveteen Rabbit) when she was only four or five. I was wondering the whole time that we were watching it if she was comprehending any of what was going on and she amazed us all in the detail that she was able to relay to her parents later that day... and the fact that she wanted to be a participant in it onstage, not just watching it from the audience from then on. While her interest has continued through the years, it has never become more than a side hobby of hers while in school and college.

Just for fun: Describe a dumb move you saw someone pull in traffic: In Dallas it was a field day everyday viewing these type stunts, that is, as long as you weren't the one involved in one of these boneheaded moves... people on the service roads constantly trying to go straight from the left-turn only lane and plowing right into the middle-lane car that was also turning left (legally); the extended time you always had to wait at a light once it changed to avoid being hit by the 3-4 cars still coming thru the intersection; the people not deciding until the last minute to get off at an exit and cut across all lanes of traffic to get to it (didn't pay for those that pulled this stunt directly in front of police cars, oops!); and the worst was one morning when I was about to get off at my exit on the interstate and this little compact decided to cut directly in front of the 18-wheeler in the right lane, I mean right on him ... nothing the 18-wheeler could do to avoid him as he clipped the right bumper of that little compact and sent it sailing across all lanes into the left guard rail... it was really lucky it didn't go sailing over it!
