After the WNIT game last night, I had some fun watching a car that left the game with WV plates make the seemingly impossible left handed turn into the roundabout, proceed the wrong direction in the roundabout, then make another very difficult left turn out of the roundabout. Just as the Terd fan was getting out of the roundabout, a car from Richland was coming head-on at him/her. Fun times! Keep your eyes peeled on the road any time Marshall comes to Athens.

They have roundabouts in WV. All the roads go roundabout the mountains.

It's for the best-they would just drive around in circles indefinitely, wondering why they were not getting anywhere. City planners figured there was already an operation in town that is stuck in a circular cycle-never going someplace new or better. ; )

Those of us who have roots in the mountains can take a joke. I'm proud of my 50% WV heritage -- farmers from outside Pliny. My WV kin are some of the finest people around. They'd do anything to help someone else and don't hold grudges.

Glad nobody was injured in the roundabout. Go, Bobcats!

I prefer jokes about Clevelanders:

Q: What is the difference between a person from Cleveland and a baby?
A: The baby will stop whining after awhile.

And, two Cleveland city ordinances are worth mentioning in this regard:

1. It's illegal to catch mice without a hunting license!

2. Women are forbidden from wearing patent leather shoes, lest men see reflections of their underwear.

============================================

OK, now that that's off my chest: Roundabouts, though they are increasing in number in this country, are still not all that common. I remember our first experience with them in England over a decade ago. The only time we got honked at for our erratic left-side driving was when my wife stopped in the middle of a roundabout because she wasn't sure which exit we wanted. I've grown to really love the Richland roundabout. They are very easy to use once you understand the principles involves, but they can be intimidating if you don't understand them and have little experience with them. At least every week or two I still see someone who is confused by the Richland roundabout.

You forgot law #3, in effect apparently since early 1965:

#3. No Cleveland professional sports team shall win a championship in its respective sport.

Cleveland's done an outstanding job in observing law #3, especially the Browns.

Happy S. Brownback to you.

Hilliard, Ohio, near work and home, has embraced the round-about concept to the point that they have even constructed abutting and connected round-abouts in the center of town; one of which encircles a Donato's for heaven's sake. If you want to practice dodging people who have zero driving etiquette (or skill) come on up.
