Driver's Ed...

Well, our daughter, Ashley, has her temps now, and we have started teaching her how to drive. It has been 22 years since I learned to drive, and I have forgotten how much of what I now take for granted is not just automatic knowledge.

The first day, we went out to an area where it is all new construction, and we practiced going around the block, and doing things like driving in a straight line, turning corners, starting, stopping (without putting us through the windshield), and all that fun stuff.

She's doing OK, just a little nervous. OTOH, she is not over confident, like someone closely related to her (who shall remain un-named) was when he was her age, 22 years ago...

Luckily, we live in a nieghborhood w/o a lot of traffic, large portions of which are still under construction.

No riding lawn mower, though. Some lazy-asses around here have those, which always makes me laugh considering thes are city lots... Not very big...
