Signs, signs, everywhere signs

Although there are street signs on almost every intersection here (unlike Worcester, where there usually weren't) they are lacking address numbers, and they're almost aways off to the side. You never see them up over the street, and certainly never lit up so yo can see them at night. I am amazed they don't put the address range numbers on them. I've really grown to like the GPS.

Where we are staying, you can't get out of the neighborhood without going through some construction zones. They've gone traffic circle crazy out here like they did in Denver a while back. The problem here is they're slow. They have a habit of putting in real marble curbstones along sidewalks out here, and that takes longer than pouring concrete. It does look nice, though.

We got our NY driver's licenses yesterday. Lisa's a New Yorker again after many years. I'm just dazed and confused! She's disappointed because NY added spaces to the license numbers, so they're like XXX XXX XXX. They used to be sequential, and took up two lines! My friend Steve, from Anchorage, had his license number memorized, and used to love rattling it off when asked. People were stunned a) by it's length, and b) that he knew it! He still had it because he was in the AF and service members aren't required to get licenses in the states where they're stationed.
