  4. Dear "Fellow Motorists", please obey yield signs even when a bicycle is the oncoming traffic on the road you are turning on to. I don't enjoy swerving out of the way of a Land Rover and faceplanting Mechants Road at 11:45 in the morning. Have a very bloody and possibly broken nose, been to Dr, losing a workday, otherwise OK.

  6. The Swan Whisperer of Galway

    If you’ve ever wandered down to the Claddagh in Galway, you’ll know the swans are less “graceful wild creatures” and more “assertive locals who know exactly when the bread’s coming out.”

    That’s what happened on this day in 2005 when we visited and saw a young woman feeding those swans. Other birds wanted crumbs of bread too! Now we know that bread is not an ideal food for birds. Green vegetables are better for them.
