​@avlifesavers I wish cities had their local "habits" listed somewhere. Like Tucson, Arizona. -You must travel at least 10mph over the speed limit, or else 🔫... -At least 6 cars MUST run the red light including left-turners, or else (see above) -Turn lanes are suggestions. You can just turn any direction from any lane without warning. Or else... -Never stop before exiting a parking lot and certainly never look any direction at all for traffic, bicycles or pedestrians. Or else.

If that angel was his guardian for 15 years, and they spoke on the war effort we can calculate the current year to be roughly 1943-44, maybe 45, so this angel died say 1928, which would be around the time automobiles became prevalent.
