IJMC - Know Your Driving Geography

I am not sure if I ever mentioned this before, but the only time I ever 
felt comfortable driving in Boston was the time I was driving one of 
those big U-Haul trucks. I was still unsure whether I would hit anything, 
but at least I knew whatever I hit would take more damage...now do not 
even get me started on Chicago...especially parking decks in the windy 
city...that is a whole 'nother ballgame!                            -dave
