Hi Dave,

 RH> us to make the turn--they may have spotted us from some distance as the
 RH> road is straight for a ways and taken pity on us patiently waiting.

 DD> And sometimes the recipent of such largess is so surprised by the
 DD> courtesy I have to tap the horn to get them to take the advantage
 DD> offrered.

 RH> I've seen that; also seen those waiting for a different shade of green.
 RH> (G)

 DD> There have always been those lost in their own tiny little world. It's
 DD> gotten a lot worse with the advent of cell phones though.

At least at a light, they're stopped, not trying to use the phone while
driving. NY State has now designated most of their highway rest areas as
text stopping places, some with, some without other facilities.


 DD> Your town sounds like it need a traffic engineer with a favourite
 DD> auntie who lives on your street.  Bv)=

 RH> That would help but I don't see it happening. Maybe if she's bribed
 RH> with a jar of home made fig preserves..................

 DD> Just one? C'mon, be a sport.

Got to have enough for other bribes. (G)

 RH> times of day our street gets busy, especially on Sundays when Mass gets
 RH> out. We have what I termed the "mass exodus" for about 15 minutes
 RH> afterward. A few years ago another street was extended to make it
 RH> easier to get out on to main streets but it doesn't seem to have
 RH> reduced the traffic flow on our street at all.

 DD> Or, maybe attendance for Sunday morning mass is up?

They have a Saturday evening one and several on Sunday. Some years ago
they built a (much) larger church in town to accomodate the growing
population. OTOH, Baptists have their choice of several churches in the
area, some big, some small and others in between.

 DD> they have the lights on the "one-way" streets timed so that if one
 DD> "makes" the first light and drives couple MPH under the posted DD>
 speed limit you can cruise right along and not have to stop to DD> wait
 for a green light. In most situations. Rush hours or events DD> getting
 over can affect things.

 RH> I've seen that in other places but it doesn't seem to exsist in WF. It
 RH> does seem like every time we're running the least bit late for
 RH> something, the lights are all red. (G)

 DD> See tagline.  Bv)=

 RH> I did.


 DD> Here's another you might like - the rice noodles used in nearly every
 DD> version I've had/made remind me of the wheat based linguine noodles.

 RH> Might give it a consideration but hitting the road later this week for
 RH> an extended time. Camper isn't set up for good wok cooking. Oh, and
 RH> speaking of noodles, our favorite local Korean place uses sweet potato
 RH> noodles for their jap jae--that's one way I will eat sweet potatoes.
 RH> (G)

 DD> Made this yesterday - I worked a short (very busy) shift from 11 ayem
 DD> until 1 covering lunches and didn't feel like fussing with dinner. So
 DD> I tried out this "just-in" recipe, adapting it to finish in the crock
 DD> pot. Dennis and I polished off all but a cup or so - which became a
 DD> doggie treat.


 DD>       Title: Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup
 DD>  Categories: Vegetables, Beef, Rice, Herbs
 DD>       Yield: 6 servings

It does look good.
