Today (4/11/2025) Former US Vice President Dick Cheney has died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease In a statement, his family said the 84-year-old was surrounded by his wife Lynne, daughters Liz and Mary, and other family members.

They are always on about how fit and healthy he is. It's his mental acuity that's the problem. He may be able to swing a golf club, (I don't see him walking the fairway), but he can barely string two coherent words together. And he can't understand or recall facts.

Maybe these videos will help. Roundabouts. Hook turns.

Spacey, the above illustration is a bit more complex that your average two road intersection. However, let us assume you are in the red car at the bottom and intend to follow the red line. You are most unlikely to collide with a vehicle in front of road 'e' and less likely with cars at b, c or d, so it's safe to enter the roundabout. Cars at f are the ones you need to concentrate on. A car entering from b could well exit at d, or f, so there is no likelyhood of a collision, and you don't have to wait for them to exit. If you want an intersection that confuses interstaters, come to Melbourne and try a hook turn, where you turn right from the left lane. These are designed to allow trams through progress without interruption. The turning car waits for the lights to change.

Golf ball sized hail was bad enough. I saw video on the news of tennis ball size hail. Hate to cop one of those on the head.

The thing I like about a smart meter is that the power co website can show on a daily basis how much you've used, what you bill to date is, and estimates what your next bill will be. You can make progress payments so that the actual bill is zero. No bill shock. I wish the gas co could do the same thing.

Marty is correct.
