> ...and then came back home to watch yet another movie. Problem is, I can't remember which one... Sam, perhaps you could help???

"Ever After," the movie that made me decide that I like Drew Barrymore after all. Now I eagerly await each movie she comes out with.

> The funniest part of the day was when we rode the log flooms, otherwise known as the water rides. Now to me, a semi-southerner, it was way too cold to be on these, but in New Hampshire it seemed to be the right time.

Well...not really. We're not quite THAT crazy. I didn't get particularly cold after getting soaked, but if it hadn't been our only chance to go, I wouldn't have picked that day. (The day before AND the day after were warm and beautiful -- *sigh*.) If you'll remember, there were no lines for the water rides -- just a handful of crazies running repeat rides because they're lunatics. :-)

> In most states this is how it goes: a line of traffic going the speed limit is usually in the right lane, and then occasionally a few cars pass on the left going maybe 10 miles over the speed limit or so. But, it seems, in Ohio we do it a little different.

In Europe, it's different still. The speed difference between adjacent lanes on a road here in the U.S. averages maybe 10 MPH. On the German autobahn, you have to be careful not to make that assumption, because you can look back, not see anything behind you, switch lanes, and suddenly somebody's right on your tail. The difference in speeds can be 40 MPH or more. Of course, they measure in kilometers per hour, or possibly even kilometres per hour, so nobody really knows how fast anybody is going anyway. ;-)
