I can't argue with *that* point. Gerry and I used to drive Rt 16 every weekend for a few years--and it was painful.

Down a hill with a strong breeze, maybe.

Nope. I can't think of a single use of the adjective "observant" that I would use to describe you, except maybe "observant programmer". And even then, when you're *being* an observant programmer, you're 100% oblivious to the entire rest of the Universe. I swear, when the rapture comes, you're going to miss it just because you'll be hacking at C++ code.
