We drive on the left



One of George's American colleagues taught us a very helpful song.  It has no tune and is best sung in round repeatedly while driving.  The only lyrics are "We drive on the left, we drive on the left, we drive on the left..."  This is my new favorite song, especially since we are now the proud owners of Scratch, a '99 Honda Civic 'Estate'.  Actually, a station wagon (I can see you grimacing from here, Laurel!)  Fortunately, it has been well broken in by some other furry, slobbery dog, so we won't worry too much about it when Buddy arrives on Thursday.  But look out London, here we come!  If anyone has any mechanical advice about this car other than "don't buy one", here is your opportunity to shine :)

an Estate?! I assume that means it's quite roomy (and regal) on the inside. Awesome! and Congrats!

Does singing this song in any way represent your political leanings? Or am I looking into it for more than that's really there? I do miss bantering with you, George!

That sounds as annoying as singing "99 bottles of beer" but at least less likely to result in subconscious urges to drink while driving. Since you had to get a "mom" car (yeah, I see you trying to make it sound tough with a name like Scratch) will you at least paint it that cool green color?

Judging from the seat positions...Molly drives on the left, and George rides shotgun.
