Hey There Old Friend . . .

It's been a hot minute . . . just 6 years is all . . . a lot has changed, life has moved and so have I, twice in fact. We left Japan in 2015, spent three years in Austin, Texas, then headed to the current stomping grounds . . . the budding metropolis of Richmond Hill, Georgia.  I can barely say that with a straight face.  Richmond Hill is a teeny tiny town about 45 minutes out of Fort Stewart and in this town I have encountered one of my pet peeves . . . the dreaded roundabout.  Now let me tell you, I LOVE me a good roundabout because it keeps that traffic moving and keeps me from having to stop at a stop sign or stop light and traffic backing up to kingdom come.  However, the peeve part comes in when the drivers in this town treat that wonderful roundabout as a stop sign!!! Not a stop sign guys, that red triangle says yield which means no cars coming you can just . . . wait for it . . . keep going!  No need to stop, just ease that Honda Accord right out into the roundabout and go on with your bad self.  Honestly there are times when I want to put on a fluorescent vest and direct the traffic at that circle.  So if ever you decide you want to pop down for a visit and you see a chick hanging out at the roundabout with a pink whistle wheeting at the cars . . . it might just be me, I mean we all have our breaking point.
