No, not far away - our streets aren’t more than a block or two long. Yeah, I drive down the middle when there isn’t another (moving) car there too as for some reason people here get Chihuahuas and then leave them to run loose all day. It was a lot easier to dodge cows when I was living in the sticks than it is to miss tiny dogs darting out into the street! 😉
