  Once I drove an American from the airport straight to a golf club which involved
going down some country roads. At one point he was 100% insistent that I was
going the wrong way down a one-way road because he couldn't believe cars
were coming towards us.

It wasn't even a narrow road just regular country road.

I assume this was in the UK? He may simply have been confused by people driving
on the left side of the road. We also have country roads here in America, but
people typically drive on the right when not drunk or passing other vehicles.

  It was a very funny and memorable journey made even more memorable by him giving
me the biggest tip I was ever given. I think he was either impressed or just
glad he made it in one piece!

Most likely he was simply very wealthy if he was flying to Europe to play golf.

  This is the biggest highway I’ve ever driven on!

The biggest highway I've ever driven on is the Dan Ryan Expressway on the
south side of Chicago. It has fourteen lanes, seven in each direction.

According to Wikipedia, it is the busiest road in Illinois. In 2005, an average
of more than 300,000 vehicles traversed a portion of the freeway every day.

The south side of Chicago is prone to gun violence and the Dan Ryan is no exception.
Criminals armed with automatic assault rifles occasionally open fire on the expressway,
killing people in cars.

But I have extracted all the info available, and I can’t figure out why the LEGO
movie 2 failed.

So what are your thoughts about the second part?

It failed because it was horrible. Not engaging for kids, with nothing in it
for parents.

  Your next ConstrucToys contest is here. The prize this time is an $80 store coupon,

Contest is another package arrival estimation.

The package this time is traveling USPS Ground Advantage from Washington to New
York. Mailed this morning with a 6:45 PST acceptance scan.

Contest Parameters:

~ Two entries per member, per 24 hour period

~ No limit to the overall number of entries per member

~ Both date and time are required

~ All entries must be posted as a reply here, for transparency

~ With identical entries, the first takes precedence.

I'll announce the package's periodic travel updates to keep it interesting.
Will also post the "Delivered" notification screenshot, for all to determine
the winner.

Goofing around encouraged... Tear it up, have some fun

My daughter and I both just finished this. We both also found (in different ways)
the experience very helpful in balancing that moral compass we all depend, perhaps
even more so today

My son blazed through his original Mediations. Then again, Gavin's intellectually
exceptional and therefore easily bored. In other words, no "contemporary
reading" for him But for us normies its a recommended and excellent way
to absorb the man's timeless reasoning. Grounding
