We have 2 - one for kitchen items and one for repairs (pliers, screwdrivers, etc) I cleaned both out a few months ago and find they are related to clothes hangers - shut the door/drawers and all multiply!

I learned recently where all the new clotheshangers come from: the socks that you lose in the laundry and cannot find are metamorphosed into coat hangers and then appear in your clothes closet.
For the past nine days I have been in the same skilled nursing facility that put me back on my feet three years ago; the torturers physical/occupational therapists are doing a good job in their torture chamber gym in getting me back on my feet.

Johnny - are you working toward another Amtrak trip as soon as you can escape the torture chamber?
PDN & Zugster might want to be on the lookout next week for an errant dirty bird in their backyard. Mooks will have the net out on Sunday morning. (Staying away from 777's until they quit torching the turbines.)

The city of Utica put in a small roundabout on the main drag. They had to make sure the curbs were low enough that bigger trucks (including fire apparatus) could get through...
New Orleans used to have several traffic circles, but back in the '50's they replaced all but one with regular intersections to expedite traffic flow. Lately they are talking about putting in "roundabouts."
I spent some time in New Jersey back in the '70's and '80's and noticed they had traffic circles on some heavily trafficed roads, but they were of fairly large diameter so traffic could move pretty fast through them. In fact, I figured the local rule was that whoever hit the circle the fastest had the right-of-way.

You haven't driven in New England unless you've been through a "rotary..."
Sheboygan, WI - within about 1/2 mile - 3 round-a-bouts - one on the East side of a N/S Interstate for the exit/entrance & through traffic; one on the West Side for the same functions; the 3rd one was for a cross street that served at Walmart shopping center - I got dizzy!

Rotary--isn't that a club?
On the same trip on which I drove out of Boston--without fighting a rotary, I did drive in one in one of the villages west of Boston. We left the car in Nashua and rode a bus back to Boston.
Surely, if you have driven in Bedlam-on-the-Potomac, you have had the same experience in driving around the areas which were set aside to provide spaces for placing cannon in case the Capital was invaded. I do not know which is worse--the circles or the squares, which have many streets focused on each one. They are quite annoying when you are trying to meet a deadline for turning your rented car in.
Some people swear by them, most people swear at them. The rotaries seem to have come into favor in western Michgan over the past several years (we regularly encounter three of them...two of the three actually replaced traffic lights. Now they've put one in front of the high school in Glen Ellyn.The ones we encounter in Michigan have now survived a couple of winters. Indiana has a few of them in the snow belt. Some of them, at problematic intersections where there isn't too much traffic and only one lane goes around the circle, seem to be an improvement (the one up near our cottage in Michigan is actually a win). It's also fun to watch big trucks negotiate some of these...Glen Ellyn might have to outlaw trucks.
Tree,there is a tourist torment (roundabout) here in Malfunction Jct.The yield signs are just for looks and often smashed flat and more often the roundabout is a merry go round for people who like to go in circles. All the info signs are in san scrit.
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Near Brighton, MI there are two round-a-bouts so close together one could easly wind up going the wrong way on the freeway. Gotta pay close attention there.

Ns had a westbound frieght go by when I left work.Chores to do here at home.There is a round-about in North Baltimore.The signs have been whacked a few times from what I have seen.
Last month enroute to Door Cty WI, I missed my normal exit from I43 and wound up on Wis 310 and encountered three roundabouts in a row. Heres the East one.
It was faster than a complete stop but there is little traffic there.
Remember, "Blessed are those who go around in circles as they shall be called BIG WHEELS"
This one gets the truck traffic from CSX's North Baltimore intermodal facility...
N 41 10' 24" W 83 40' 45"
Roundabouts have shown up here in rural Missouri over the last ten years. The thing that has caused a lot of confusion is the left hand bridge running over US67 seen here: N 37.77178 W 90.44518

I see what they did there. I'd want a high median between those crossed-over lanes, for sure! What method of traffic control do they use at the crossover points?
Well, isn't that interesting.
Coulda just done a couple of "Michigan lefts..."
CShaveRR I see what they did there. I'd want a high median between those crossed-over lanes, for sure! What method of traffic control do they use at the crossover points?
We have several here in "the city" and I always approach them with my eyes tightly closed and my teeth gritted. Fortunately, The Driver does neither.
I have to risk my life twice a day through a roundabout. To me, it's a mixture of the Keystone Cops movies and a figure 8 demo derby, except now everyone has a cell phone stuck to their face while blindly wizzing around the curve. Personally, I want to see a motorcycle cop parked in those tall, decorative, native grasses that so completely camouflage the darned thing- a cop working on a commision!

mudchicken....Called a "braided" interchange. US-36 north of Denver on the Boulder side has a pair.
Carl, a K-rail type divider runs down the center of the bridge.
Here is a video (not mine) on how traffic flows through this type of interchange:
