Why do people say California has horrible drivers? At least we know how to merge and let folks onto a highway/freeway/etc.

Our onramps are longer and/or metered to allow oncomming traffic the ability to accelerate at least up to 55mph before having to merge.

NO need to meter. simply need people that are willing to actually accelerate on the ramp........ :D

In 5 minutes I tried to place your exact location... am I close?

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=39.297113,-80.351602&num=1&sll=39.280645,-80.344534&sspn=0.069112,0.128059&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=39.297086,-80.351536&spn=0.007057,0.010096&z=17

Yep, that isn't my address. But your arrow is resting in my alley and is just a few houses from my location. Good sleuthing. Now any mysterious cars parked outside will be fired upon.  :noid
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I ride  14 miles on my bicycle in 32 minutes as a daily commute. And the same getting home . It involves a few climbs too.  I think cycling may be quicker for you  :old: :neener:
