bc Who also lives in a low tech. city, however, the drivers live on Latin
time, but often drives to Si valley and the City ('Frisco) where red
runners are slapped with a min. $271 photo' fine.

P.s. Herb also hasn't tried driving on ice either? [c. Friction from the

and could only decelerate the car (which we assume is already initally
stopped at the stop sign).
