Please, please be careful. Having said that, I realize that you ARE being careful. So I extend my plea to taxi drivers! But they probably aren't listening...Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-21908232387106793032009-05-14T06:02:00.000-04:002009-05-14T06:02:00.000-04:00Brigham Young couldn't have designed these streets...Brigham Young couldn't have designed these streets, because they aren't wide enough to turn your carriage around in without backing up. You should see the size of the streets in Kevan's parents' neighborhood. I think 4 Maadi streets could fit in one. But hooray for the grid system! Too bad they screwed it up in every other way :)<br /><br />Maybe you could just change your "Go Ahead and Ask Me" shirt to "Go Ahead and Hit Me." Seems more practical these days.<br /><br />P.S. Good job not dying or anything!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283208339374116521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-41429369789630538522009-05-14T05:40:00.000-04:002009-05-14T05:40:00.000-04:00PS, Maadi was designed in 1905 by Canadian Captain...PS, <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maadi" REL="nofollow">Maadi</A> was designed in 1905 by Canadian Captain Alexander J.

I hope he stops, though. It's a nasty habit!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.com
