A Brit thang (as we say in Texas). I call them major annoyances, and I've learned that if you hit them exactly right, you don't have to slow down for them.

"Hemmed in" is a good description of how I feel about them. The way I used to go all the time has 10 speed bumps, but the way I go now only has two.

I hope Ailz is healing rapidly and that she continues to be as happy as she has looked in her post-op photos!
