Saw this in the local rag pg C 2 Wed Nov 14, 2012 SJMN. ..."Brad Keselowski became a social media darling after hopping on Twitter during a lengthy delay in the Daytona 500."...

In Zurich now, been a few years - something here I forgot, which would make the heads of most middle of the road Americans explode - trams share the roads with cars, as in the same lanes, and those lanes also intersect with car lanes. I can't imagine that working well in NA, hell in Seattle, the idiots crash into the light rail all the time, and those trains have their own dedicated areas. Another strike against working public transit in the US - (what passes for) motorists will mess it up.
  
Good city to park the car and just walk or use those trams, which is what I am doing. The big boat will get to take a break.

Did you go from Switzerland to Italy overnight?

Nope, that's Zurich. Although many bicyclists act pretty Italian, with maybe a touch of west coast piousness. The Germans must go nuts when they see that kind of stuff.
 
I'd wager the typical Seattle area driver would quickly suffer a nervous breakdown driving through urban Zurich. Too many inputs to monitor, driving that requires attention and situational/spatial awareness.
