This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week, or so, I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin.
Esta es una parte de la foto grande. Hay que adivinar lo que es. En una semana mas o menos regreso con la respuesta y otra foto. ¡Suerte!
Here is the answer you all have been waiting for…
On October 12th we had dinner at Jacob’s parents’ house with the missionaries, Elder Pickett and Elder Drake. Elder Pickett is from Canada and that happens to be Canadian Thanksgiving. So using our super internet abilities, we found his family. Jacob called his parents and talked to his brother and his mom and asked about any traditions. We discovered that Elder Pickett has tried many new foods on his mission. The plate above is his clean plate.
Here he is loading up his plate:

He liked it so much, we sent leftovers home with him:

It has been a while since I posted a quiz. I am not giving up on them. I just have been lacking motivations. So today I am presenting a quiz, though it is of a different sort.
It is a driving quiz. There are 13 questions/situations. Feel free to answer, or to describe any other questions that you think ought to be added to this set. I know there were 2 more, that I had trouble remembering when I was putting this together.
Please select the multiple choice answers in a comment.
(I have edited this so that each question has separate comment spots. It occurred to me that by having all of it in one post, it makes it harder to answer, especially if you only want to answer some questions, if at all.)
Car 1 arrives at the stop sign before car 2 does:
a-car 1 should proceed after coming to a full stop so that car 2 may do the same
b-car 2 should wave car 1 through the intersection so that car 2 does not have to come to a full stop
c-car 1 should sit and wait for car 2 to go because car 2 is on the right
The protected left (also called the left turn lane, though in this case it is not only a left turn lane) turn is about to not be protected and the eastbound traffic will get a green light in less than a second:
a-the red car turning right from the south side of the intersection should turn now since the eastbound traffic will need to go soon
b-the red car turning right from the south side of the intersection should wait until the eastbound traffic has gone and it is clear to turn with out cutting off any drivers
c-the red car turning right from the south side of the intersection should roll back and forth trying to hit the sensor to turn his light green
Driving along you hear Police sirens or see Flashing lights on a police car:
a-drive faster because they are obviously headed somewhere so they will not come after you
b-hit your brakes so that you are going exactly the speed limit and continue on your merry way
c-slow down, pull over and stop so that you are out of the way of the Police vehicle
Driving along you come upon an accident with emergency vehicles flashing lights:
a-slow down and drive around the wreckage, sometimes this means taking a detour route
b-speed up and drive in the next lane to get away from the accident faster to be out of the way
c-slow down as much as possible so that your passenger can strain his neck trying to see what happened and if anyone is hurt, possibly getting footage of the scene to sell to the local news
Car on the south going straight has arrived at the intersection and a left turning car from the north is approaching:
a-north car should some to a complete stop and after the south car comes to a complete stop and then proceeds through the intersection, then the north car should proceed through the clear intersection
b-north car should speed up a bit so that it can roll through the intersection and turn to get out of the way, allowing the south car to come to a full stop
c-north car should wave his hand motioning to the south car to just roll through the intersection so that the north car does not have to come to a complete stop
Driving on a street with no sidewalks and there are pedestrians walking on the left side of the road as they see it or there is a cyclist riding in the right lane (and properly wearing a helmet is a must on a bike):
a-the car should keep driving and never slow down, driving as close to the bike as they can, it is especially satisfying if the motorist can manage to run the bike off the road or hit it and hope that the bike will never resurface
b-the car should come up behind the bike or up to the walkers as close as they can and then blast the horn to scare them out of the way, or off the road
c-the car should move over and pass the bike or walkers with plenty of space (there is an Illinois law that states a motorist is to give a cyclist 3 feet of clearance at minimum) when the oncoming traffic is clear, slowing down as much as is necessary
