I went to California last year for a temporary duty assignment at Vanderberg
AFB, and was amazed how the driving there is not as bad as here in Puerto
Rico. At least when I was driving on the fast lane, cars would move to the
left lane, over here that doesn't happen. And I saw the strangest thing: the
traffic light at an intersection failed, and people took turns stopping and
letting the other lanes thru, wow. Try that one over here.

By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
