Beth,

California is know for being big wusses. Last summer in Vegas, when my daughter and I took the shuttle from hell (if you remember), and a couple other times, the driver would say, "Now if there is anyone from California, remember this is NOT California. You cross the street only when it says walk or you 'WILL' get run over. Here, the pedestrian can pretty much cross anytime/anywhere he/she wishes.

TIS

BTW Beth, you considering Vegas if the BB meets there this summer?
