Spaghetti.

Been posting about my art and some of the ebusiness stuff. But really havent posted much about the transition from the midwest to the eastcoast.

Who planned these roads? Fly over Wisconsin and you will see that the roads form a nice grid of 1 mile square sections. We had that car commercial where they said they were going to take a trip using only left turns. I thought, what fun is that? You would just go around the block. If you did that here, it could be an interesting trip.

I cannot believe how windy the roads are here. It is as though the road "planners" threw down a bowl of spaghetti and used it as a plan for building the roads.

Back home they took the curves out of the roads. I grew up out in the country and there were at least three roads nearby that they did that to -- and we are not talking about hairpin curves.

I have lived alot of different places and this is the first place where I nearly got lost. My husband has even had to ask if he should turn left or right. As a retired sailor, he should be able to look up in the sky and to tell where he is.

It is a lovely area. But I dont get to enjoy the views alot as I am always on the look out when I drive for the names of roads and wonder if I have seen the other end of it somewhere else and try to fit this puzzle together.

BTW, stay off of School House road.

Sounds like an interesting place to live, hope you get used to the roads soon- most of the roads here in SE Michigan are on some sort of a grid, except where the french designed the street layout- they prefered a wagon wheel design- so where the styles intersect, it can get a bit weird, LOL!!!
