Drive on the wrong side of the road? We invented cars after all so we must be correct on that one....View attachment 1183110

Not at all! It's a remnant of the Knights' Age! The knights would ride opposite each other as if traveling in a vehicle in England. Since they were covered with armor, it was impossible to tell if the knight who came before you was a friend or an enemy. As they approached, they held out their left hand to their eye shield and picked it up for identification (this is the source of the modern salute in the army!) While the right hand was on the sword, if it turned out to be a friend, then everything was all right.but if it were an enemy, the position which the right side ( the side of the strong hand, the sword hand) of one knight was close to the right side of the second knight, allowed to block a potential sword blows of the other knight more efficiently! And that way in England they drive the right way.

Now I'm all confused...don't know how to spell and not sure which side of the road to drive on.

But I know it's time for coffee! Come and get it

Morning!

We had a great day yesterday, long, but really nice. Little one had a good time and asked me this morning if we were taking the train to go see the animals.

Thanks for the coffee, and good morning, Café.

Trying to translate, you are traveling by train instead of driving on a Freeway?

See, we have odd ways of speaking here Too. When I go to visit my Mom, I take the 5 up North. Do you know what that is?

I5 = interstate 5
The Don Valley Parkway is a highway, yes. One of the few that travels north/south in Toronto. It's affectionately known as the Don Valley Parking Lot. During the daytime you're lucky if you can get up to 15 mph.

Yes!

There have been some posts that are hard for me to understand where things we do not have here are talked about. There was some bird that is only on the East coast that was talked about. I had to google it to see what it was.

We live in an odd world where people from all over the place chat but things are often not the same even when speaking the same language

Time to go home!

For sure
What @Michelle Farmer-Brown said. And to be fair @ronott1 we're talking about a very specific place!

Except the car was invented in Germany....

(but they drive on the right too so your argument can still stand )

Oh and I'll put on water for tea this morning.

I'm skipping on the coffee; I'm unfortunately feeling under the weather this morning. Hoping it's not anything. Darn city and all their people.

Darn city and all their germs! Hope you get to feeling better.

Also, anyone hiding inside today?

It feels like -20 outside (-4F). Maybe colder because the wind is whipping across the fields, it was not pleasant letting the chickens out and getting some wood this morning. Guess I'm not ready for this yet!

Lol, yes I suppose I should have clarified that people = germs. I have no problem with city people! Thanks
