It can be a little hairy but nothing like Chicago traffic. The natives love to act like you can’t get anywhere, but it’s fine.

That being said, we’ll see how I go driving the kid to school during peak hour tomorrow.

For us it was always just Prisoner and was excellent.

The opening theme was epic. Bea Smith, Top Dog, manning the steam press. Vinegar Tits the Screw. Margo bash! So good.
