We've seen some interesting road signs as we've travelled the freeways. Some that have popped up in the last few weeks I liked were:

• "Watch for agressive drivers" (What should I do if I see one?! Is this area known for them?!)
• "Agressive driver imaging next 2 miles" (Again is this area renowned for aggressive drivers?!)
• "Rotary" (I thought there was lots of Rotary clubs around but then realised it meant 'Round about' which is what we call them in NZ).
• "Do not pick up hitch hikers next 2 miles - prison area"
• "Watch for D.U.I drivers" (that's Drunk Under the Influence for those of you not in the know)
• "No tailgating"

We're well adjusted after nearly 5 months in the US now to driving on the right (and 3 in Europe) and to the slightly different terminology here. We ask for the 'restroom' even though we don't need a rest and when we're finshed a meal we're 'done' rather than finished. We also stand in a 'line' rather than a queue to order our fast food and we 'have here' rather than 'to go'. We 'yield' at road intersections rather than give way. We order an 'entree' rather than a main course and if we want an entree we order an 'appetizer'. On the telephone we hit the 'pound' key rather than the hash key and the letter is 'zee' not zed. If the kids want an ice-block we look in the 'ice-cream novelties' aisle of the supermarket or 'store' not the shop. If you want a chemist then head for the 'drug store' which also sells groceries, gifts and most other things. If you want alcohol then go to the 'liquor store'. Of course if you don't want to get out of your car there is the drive through fast food, drive through restaurants, banks and 'drug stores'.
