So Mr J and I used to watch Amazing Race for the travel. But stopped watching when the couples would be arguing over the fact that even though on a show with travel could not read a map to save their lives. That and the fact that if you are doing overseas travel understand that you should at least have one person who knows how to drive a manual transmission. 

The season they’re showing right now had a guy who said he learned to drive stick about 2 weeks before coming on the show. Pretty sure he didn’t actually practice all that much but he did seem to get it eventually. I’m always surprised that the contestants don’t bother to pick up this skill in advance. I don’t think there have been a lot of episodes in the most recent seasons with manual cars so I figured European countries were moving away from manual cars like here in the US. My husband has said for years that we should try to be on the show because I drive a manual car. No thank you!! I’m too old for that crap.

Snowing nicely in Alexandria/Kingstowne. Big flakes. My street is covered.

It just doesn’t snow where I am

I'm near you in Kingstowne and I agree, we have our own snow hole going on.
