A roundabout is a circular intersection. I love them! We have them all over Ireland but they're less popular in the U.S. They're efficient and don't need stoplights but can be intimidating at first if you've never seen one before. You can figure them out quickly, though. Once you get it they're kinda fun!

Saturday 16th of November 9.01a.m. We had some light showers o'nite, hoping for more today. The low grey cloud looks promising. Moderate 24.1 / 37kph NE, Hg 62%, 20.2C / 68.4F top of 23C / 73F. Possible shower.

Moon is 99.9% waning

They are getting popular here but people don’t know how to deal with yield signs. They forget that yield can mean stop! Not try to race out in front of the big huge monster blue truck bearing down on their little road bump twerp car…. (Ya sorry anger talk there don’t worry the little car is fine).

Weather:
Today it didn’t get above 6C and it was dreary and drizzly.

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and a mild +9C - nice for November.
