Well, here it is, Saturday. I am at home, till Monday, then I will leave for three weeks. The hotel I am going to sounds like a real dive. No Continental Breakfast, no internet, nadda. What I really like, is when I come back, it is like I never left, thx all.
Hello People. I came back home yesterday, and I have come to a conclusion, I never want to drive in Boston again! Also, the drivers in Europe are the worlds best. You see, in "New England" they have what is called a "Rotary". Now, these are common in Europe, they are only in New England here in the states. If you do not know what one is, here is a pic:
Now, the idea is, no stop signs or lights. Dive into this circle of death as fast as you can, go zippy zing z00m, and get out of it on the street you needed. ARE THEY FLIPPING NUTZ?!?! Ok, first I didn't have a clue where I was, really didn't know where I was going, then they put you in a blender of death they so calmly name " a Rotary". Once I made it out of this little whirly loop, my mind was going " What The Heck Was That!" go to look at the map, look up, ANOTHER ONE! &%#*&@! Needless to say, I survived my 3 day experience with this "wonderful Engineering" nightmare, whew. Anyway, how ya all doing? Me, very tired, working way too much, but good. I fly to Atlanta Monday for a couple of weeks. I will have my laptop with me, I just need to load Q3 on it yet. Anyway, Have a NASTY Day! Jeff

It's called a "roundabout".
And that piccy is L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris. I have driven round there and it's loadsa fun! I also stood on top of the building (L'arc de Triomphe itself, you can go inside it) and watched the bicycles and lorries have near misses from high up. Crazy stuff. In fact, French insurance companies will not pay out if you have an accident there!
So, do you know the EIFFEL TOWER?..........not sure.....lol!!! !!!
I propose 4 solutions :
1-Listen a little "Joe Satriani"(Love things)............and a little "Steve Vai" (love of GOD).................a little "Allan Holdsworth" (Metal Machine)...............and a little "Pat Metheny"(you can choose)...... !!!
2-Stop the Hamburger and Coca-cola.................................

HEYA SWEEEEEEET! The pic was just an example of what they are, very strange thing for me. It was not the ones I was in, I can't find pictures of them, just an example..... Still, scary little boogers they are!
Mais je suis là et je ne suis pas portée disparue................seulement je joue rarement.............
But I'm there and I'm not reported missing..................only, I play rarely.................
So Gimp, you were in France lately ..........but the War of 100 years is over since 1453........lol! <-Guillotine......;I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm calm.........................................
Take care,
Bye-bye
Auld Alliance !!!
P.S for Jeff : It was "Metal Fatigue" and no "Metal Machine" from Allan Holdsworth.........

I was told " You will be off of work until the 9th" We will see! I have been giving them a hard time because I have been gone so much, I told them that I need to look into all of my options. I guess they might have listened
