After spending so many hours driving in Scotland and Ireland, I got completely comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. Now that I'm back in PR, I'm finding myself actually having to apply conscious thought to remember which side to drive on. Most of the roads I drive are very familiar, so habit takes over. But when I'm turning onto a road I haven't been on before, I briefly find myself trying to remember which side I'm supposed to be on. It's surprising; after years of reinforcing certain neural patterns, I wouldn't have thought that just a few days in a new system would be enough to brush the patterns out of the sand.

Yes, I'm a bit frightened of driving when I go back to the States for Christmas!

Ah, have you been driving over there? Did you buy a car?

There is a car owned by the Board of Education that is dedicated for use by me and my neighbor Pete. We use it to go to schools that are too far away to visit by bicycle!
