Thank you very much. I was happy when I reached the 1,000,000 on Sunday.

I once had over 400 consecutive days. Unfortunately I missed one day and I had to start all over again.

Thanks for posting please pump it up if worthy.

"Everyone should know what to do at a steady yellow light. Be prepared to stop. " True, but according to that test, you would be wrong. They wanted stop if safe to do so. I think it was worded poorly. they asked must do, instead of should do.

Regarding your post on the news media effect on Toyota's sudden unintended acceleration problem: I've discovered iTunes enables me to download Canada's CBC news, Britain's BBC news, Tokyo's NHK news and even Hong Kong news. It's astounding to learn they report a LOT of U.S. news. The matter-of-fact reporting is a breath of fresh air -- it's more like listening to a weather forecast (reporting the facts) as opposed to listening to a sports announcer promoting an upcoming Super Bowl (with hype, speculation, rumor and clamor). We have BBC television news available on cable TV; check it out, compare it with NBC, CNN, or... This reminds me of what Will Rogers said back in the 1930s; "All I know is just what I read in the newspapers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance."
