two things,
#1

this morning at 6:25am i was awoke by our doorbell and some frantic knocks at our door. nervously i went to the door to find it alone and empty, noone waiting for me, no nervous stranded motorist waiting for help…what i did find, was an elderly woman of german descent with this to say, (remember thick german accent, including that sound you make before spitting w/ every h) “I seem to be a liddle lost, i khant find my vay to the Parella’s Auto dealerchip, i khate to bother you but my eyes they aren’t vhat they used to be, and vit my diabeeetis i khan’t khardly see in the night.”
so i’m here to tell you that i’ve found the one major case in point that old people shouldn’t drive. or at least should be retested, and forced to take the driving test again. when i gave her the directions, she couldn’t really follow me if i just said “go to this street right here, and turn right” i had to actually point over her shoulder to the desired destination so she could see it. eeeek
