I didn't describe it correctly. I see people approaching the roundabout with their left signal on, leave it on until they take the 3rd exit. I'll also see approaching with their eight signal on and take the 1st exit. The intersection used to be a standard perpendicular intersection with traffic lights.

It sounds as if you're saying to signal left on approach indicating a merge, then signal right to indicate an exit from the circle. I can't say that I've ever seen that in action.

Tell me more about the roundabouts and exiting. Are there left exits from a roundabout? Don't they all circulate anticlockwise (when viewed from above)?

There's a new roundabout in my town and nobody knows how to signal. I see people enter with left signal flashing and then they'll take the 3rd exit (out of 4 total). I've always entered without a signal, then exit right with a signal.

Also, I've seen many people go around backwards. That's a fun surprise.

I was going to post a link to Once A Month Meals (or is it Cooking?) but it looks like they charge a subscription now. A lot of sites have freezable recipes now.

Anyhow, it's different than leftovers. Cooking lasagne? Make 4 trays. Burritos? Make 25. The key to freezer meals is to cool them completely before freezing and wrap it tightly or else you'll get frost. For pasta, get those tin trays and use press&seal to store. For burritos, wrap in parchment paper, then foil as foil can stick to the tortilla.

Yes. Me. I was taught that the mirrors were supposed to be aligned with the sides of the car. You're supposed to look over your shoulder to change lanes and not rely on the mirrors.

 

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. This article expands on that paper.

I switched a few months ago. It took a while to get used to it, but I feel like I have a better picture of what's happening around me.

Have you tried this? Did you switch back?
