someone's going to die
this is the thought i have every day, at least twice a day whenever i hear a motor vehicle. now i'm not sure if they have poor rubber quality down here or what but the screeching of vehicle tires is so jolting that scott and i haven't stopped looking every time, expecting to see an accident. there never is.

it has to be a combination of driving habits, tire composition and road materials. Without exageration...it's as if the joke that everyone makes about parking garages in the states has come true here. All the roads must be paved with whatever they make those garage floors out of. The driving habits are best described as Boston circa 1990 multiplied by two. Busses, taxis, and regular cars alike...they all drive like your mother told you not to. Even approaching a red light or stop sign, they don't slow down until it's absolutely the last moment.
Needless to say, having your heart jump into your throat a few times a day while just hanging out in your apartment or walking down the street...jolting is a good word
nice title for a blog...got me reading right away.;-)
