    DRIVING IN Dallas When you are the first one on the starting line,


    count to five when the light turns green before


    going to avoid crashing with


    all the drivers running the red light in


    cross-traffic.
    Construction on Central Expressway is a way of life


    and a permanent form of


    entertainment.


    We had sooo much fun with that we have added George


    Bush Freeway and the


    High Five to the mix.


    All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase,


    "Oh, we're in !"

    If someone actually has his or her turn signal on,

    it is probably a factory defect.

    Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators.





    Plano Road, go about 8 miles and it is briefly

    Greenville Ave,Ave K, and

    Highway 5.

    It ends in Sherman .


    The North Dallas Toll-Way is our daily version of


    NASCAR.


    The minimum acceptable speed on the Dallas North


    Toll Road is 85.

    Anything less is considered downright sissy.

    It also ends in Sherman.

    If asking directions in or , you


    must have knowledge of

    Spanish.


    If in central or on Harry Hines, Mandarin

    Chinese will be your

    best bet.


    If you stop to ask directions on Gaston or Live Oak,

    you better be armed...


    and remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas.


    The wrought iron on windows near Oak Cliff and is not ornamental!!


    A trip across town east to west will take a minimum

    of four hours,


    although many north/south freeways have un-posted


    minimum speeds of 75.


    It is possible to be driving WEST in the NORTH-bound

    lane of East NW Highway.

    Don't let this confuse you.
    LBJ is called "The Death Trap" for two reasons:

    "death" and"trap."


    If it's 100 degrees, Thanksgiving must be next

    weekend.

    If it's 10 degrees and sleeting/snowing, the Fort

    Worth Stock Show is going

    on.


    If It has rained 6 inches in the last hour, the


    Byron Nelson Golf Classic is


    in the second round (if it's Spring)

    and it is the Texas State Fair if it's Fall.

    If you go to the Fair, pay the $8.00 to park .

    Parking elsewhere could cost up to $2500 for

    damages, towing fees, parking
    tickets, etc.


    If some guy with a flag tries to get you to park in

    his yard, run over him.


    Any amusement parks, stadiums, arenas, racetracks,
    airports, etc. are

    conveniently located as far away from EVERYTHING as


    possible so as to allow


    for ample parking on grassy areas.


    Final Warning:


    Don't Mess With Texas Drivers ... remember,


    it's legal to be armed in Texas !

    I think I just laughed SOOOO hard I peed my pants!! My gut hurts sssoooo bad from laughing.

    I've been back in Misery, oops, Missouri a month. But I am SSSOOOOOO homesick for Texas, especially Dallas. All those places that are described I can see like it was yesterday! And believe it or not, I MIGHT have had road rage a time or two!! (Yea, right!)I did private nursing for all the Emergency rooms around there, especially Methodist! Talk about a rough neighborhood! The hospital had their own private police department. They escorted nursing staff in and out of the hospital.

    On all those highways-like I-35, I-75, and all the toll roads you never drop below 80mph or you'll get a ticket, or worse yet, ran over.

    Shelley's rules on those highways: Inner lanes are for slow drivers, middle lanes are for passing, inside lane is SHELLEY'S lane.It's OK to use it, but if I'm on the road, stay the hell out of my way!!

    That's why I loved the night shifts!
