  1. I hope everyone comes though okay.

    On a side note, I have a years long habit of watching dash cam accident videos from around the world almost daily. I have not done a statistical analysis, but it is glaringly obvious from among the available US samples that intersections with traffic control lights have a large share of US traffic accidents, if not a majority of them. Other places it’s just intersections in general. Stay alert, head on a swivel, eyeball everything, take nothing for granted.

    I always tell my wife when she drives to drive safe and – beware of the other guy, “They’re all crazy, they’re all suicidal, they all want to take you with them.” Not true by a long shot, but a good attitude to have behind the wheel.
