Hi Dave,
RH> Steve recently saw a long term plan for the roads in this area. We live
RH> off of West Holding but East Holding is a block or so closer to town.
RH> He said that the plan joined the 2 but wasn`t specific enough for him
RH> to figure out how. We`re just far enough off of the main road that we
RH> may not have to move.
DD> I assume that "Holding" is a street name.
Yes, named for one of the older families in WF. They own the local
propane distribution.
DD> I knew a guy who was the traffic engineer for my town. His take was
DD> that other than intersections of two arterial streets a 4 way stop
DD> would bt more efficient at moving traffic and giving all a "chance`.
RH> Second place (and on more busy intersections was called"Treadle
RH> Operated" traffic signals. They no longer use treadlesbut an
RH> induction coil installed DD> in/ under the pavement.
RH> The latter would probably work well in this area. Some years ago when a
RH> new housing development was put off of one of the bypass roads, they
RH> reconfigured the intersection of the bypass and another road so a road
RH> could be put in from the development. They made a rather convoluted
RH> left turn from the bypass to the older road; a traffic circle would
RH> have worked much better. Told my sister who`s a civil engineer (road
RH> design/construction in Phoenix area); without seeing it, said there
RH> wasn`t enough room for a circle. That`s not true as we`ve seen (this
RH> area and other parts of the country) where there are circles that would
RH> fit well within the space available.
DD> New Jersey is well known for their "round abouts". And once one gets
DD> the hang of how tey work, they`re very efficient. We have a few
DD> examples here - all but one well designed.
We`ve got a few in town also. To make a left turn off the bypass onto
the older street you have to make a left turn onto the new one, go down
about a block and make a tight (We`ve seen big trucks get hung up in
it.) left turn (basically a U turn) to go the other way. Then make a
right turn where the old street dead ends onto the new one. Got it? (G)
DD> Another trick I`ve learned for making an exit to the left at a busy
DD> intersection is to make a right turn, get to the center lane ASAP
then DD> find a parking lot or side street to use as a turn around and
re-enter DD> the traffic stream in your originally intended direction.
Beats DD> waiting forever (seemingly) for gaps in traffic to match in
your DD> favour.
We`d have to go up several blocks to the next light to make a left turn
onto the bypasss with the amount of traffic that comes at us from the
right sometimes. Every once in a while, somebody will stop and lrt us
turn left from Wesst Holding; that is greatly appreciated.
DD> I keep a small supply of orange habanero chilies on hand. "Here y`go,
DD> miniature pumpkin." (evil grin). I also have a supply of "fun size"
DD> Mars candy for the littles. Haven`t seen many T or T kids out for many
DD> years - even before the pandemic.
RH> We usually buy a couple of bags of candy, something like 3 Musketeers
RH> and Milky Way in the mini bar size. Any left over is enjoyed by us with
RH> one bar being just big enough to satisfy a chocolate craving.
DD> When I lived in Inglewood, Califunny I hung aroung with a bunch of
DD> air- craft engineers and student aircraft engineers for Northrop
DD> Instute of
DD> Technology. At Halloween one year we were passing out 7 oz cans of
DD> soda to the Tricky Treaters. One of the last was a kid dressed as a
DD> pirate.
DD> Most of the children, feeling something with weight fall into their
DD> sack gave a quick "Thanks, mister" and went on to the next house. The
DD> pirate kid opened his sack, looked down than said, in a gravelly
DD> voice, "You broke my f****ng cookies" before stomping off down the
DD> sidewalk.
Sounds like the parents didn`t do well raising that child.
DD> Title: Crispy Chicken Skin Tacos w/Habanero Salsa
DD> Categories: Poultry, Chilies, Fruits, Citrus, Salsa
DD> Yield: 4 Servings
DD> 1/4 c Chopped cilantro
DD> More chopped cilantro and
DD> - green onion for garnish
DD> 4 (or more) tortillas (use
DD> - corn tortillas if cooking
DD> - gluten-free)
RH> These make it a no go for us, especially the corn tortillas. Flour
RH> tortillas and no cilantro would make it work-able.
DD> You`re offered a choice on the tortillas. I prefer wheat flour
DD> tortillas myself. The soapweed cooks down and has its "flavour" muted
DD> by the heat and mixing with the chilies and citrus. I certainly would
DD> not use it as a garnish.
It`s still one that I`d more likely to order in a Mexican restaurant
than make for us.
DD> Here`s a quickie burrito supper I got from my Ne York Times recipe
DD> feed.
DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
DD> Title: Easy Burritos
DD> Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Chilies, Citrus, Cheese
DD> Yield: 6 servings
That is easier. When our girls were home, I used to makequick burritos
by heating tortillas and canned refried beans. While they were heating,
I`d chop tomatoes and lettuce, grate cheese. All hot & chopped, supper
was ready in about 15 minutes.
