Traffic lights - to go or not to go
Dear Sir,
I just drove from the College of the Bahamas along Wulff Road down Kemp Road to Shirley Street and I do not think there was one intersection where there were traffic lights that all worked properly.

the Wright brothers' winged flight, to Ford's Model T.
