    Right foot. I can still drive though. With the foot reconstruction surgery, my podiatrist will lengthen my Achille's (sp?) tendon to allow
    me to drive easier. Right now, I have a brace on my right calf that is attetched to the hack of my right shoe to offset weight on the foot.

    I know some double amputees whose vehicles are rigged up so they can aim
    it down the road. My Senator (Tammy Duckworth) is one of them. And my
    friend's son has a van with an elevator contraption to enter and exit.
    His mobility scooter locks in place in front of the steering wheel and
    he uses hand controls for the accelerator and brake.

    Stalks? Or ribs? A stalk of celery is a LOT Bv)=
    You might want to edit that recipe.

    I didn't even read the recipe buit yeah, that is a lot of celery.

    When I got my first driver's license if on e took the driving test in
    an automatic shift car they put a restriction on you license that you
    were only allowed to drive that style of car. If you took the test in
    a stick shify ride - no restrictions.

    I took my test in a manual, but only because that's what I had access
    too. At my age I prefer automatic, but if I find a deal that is too
    good to pass up (like my current car) I will deal with the shifting of gears. :)

    Then there are the non-automatics like the current batch of Mini cars.
    They are paddle shifted. Once you let the clutch out to start moving you
    change gears with a pair of paddle switches mounted on the dashboard
    side of the steering wheel. The right paddle does the up-shifts and the
    left paddle handles the downshifts. Coordination of throttle position
    and clutch are handled automatically by what I imagine is some pretty sophisticated software. Talk about shades of Formula One racers. I drove
    one just to see what it was like. I imagine once one gets used to the new arrangement it can be quite nice. Still, I prefer the automatic shift in
    my current ride. Especialy w/cruise control.
