I have not had enough sleep and I am in a mood. Saw the below list from a Twitter account I follow and decided to remind myself I’ve done a few things. The purple checks are because I have walked in the surf though I didn’t swim in the Pacific, and I went on a gambling cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico overnight so… cruise?
I learned to drive on a stick and can drive both a stick on the floor and the steering column.
Not on the list, but I’ve had nine novels and several short stories published.
My characters have been in Italy, Ireland, Australia, France, Canada, England, and probably lots of other places I don’t know about. Okay, I know that doesn’t count. =)
no checks made but i have 35 i could check off
I think I know which four exceeded my count of 31… Actually, there should be more than four, because I may have a checkmark or two you don’t.
Eighteen, I think.
It’s unusual for anyone in the UK to learn in an automatic, even if they go on to own one. I have never seen a manual with the gear change on the column, though.
Column shifts are pretty old in my experience. I drove a truck with a column shift, and after my sister graduated from high school, she had a little white car that had the stick on the column. I’m trying to remember what it was. Could have been a Corvair.
