    If I’m tired driving, it doesn’t matter where I am. I get off the road ASAP and sleep. Reason? Fell asleep on I-40 outside Nashville. Drove across four lanes and woke up when I hit the rumble strips. BH, no damage done. One should no sooner drive sleepy than drive while buzzed or drunk.

      Jerry, here's a question. For all my life, everyone (including my Ukrainian family members) have called the city "K-ee-ev". Now, all of a sudden some politicians and media have changed it to "Keev".
      Which is preferable, and which is correct?
      or is this like saying, "New Orr-leans" or "Na-Orr-lans" or "Nawwwlans"?
