My first memorable attempt at driving on the left side of the road was in a rental car in NZ. I would get wipers when signaling a turn, and approached intersections and roundabouts with great anxiety. Finally, I locked my left hand onto the center shifter stick, and steered wtih my right hand, and it all suddenly fell into place.

We left handers are the most abused and oppressed minority in the history of the world.

I'll have something regarding aircraft later. Time now to go to Old Bold Pilots breakfast in Surf City.
