    The transition

    people are starting to wake up and seeing less need for the "demi-god" mechanics from the foot of "Olympus" and the silvery tongued sales people( on the same plane as realtors IMHO) spoiler alert-they are not your friend!

    the modern roundabouts( recent ones here) work great,going to local shopping and eateries if not for them traffic would be backed up into the main through fares,they have installed so many lights its better to try to bypass the town roads because some genius thought "smart lights" would be...
