Recess



March 2003 again.  A little Googling reminds me that this is in Recess, in Connemara, County Galway.  Pretty sure we had stopped for a bathroom break in the pub behind Jerry, on the way out of Oughterard heading west.  And here we see the standard shift car that Jerry maneuvered along the narrow Irish roads (my lack of ability to drive standard saving me from driving in Ireland yet again), shifting with the left hand, driving on the left side of the road... oh, and by the way, please do say the word "maneuvered" in your best Eddie-Izzard-as-Professor-Heimlich accent.  Because Jerry definitely would.

OH FOR GOD'S SAKE.  Heimlich is not only an American, but he's also 90 years old and STILL ALIVE, Wikipedia says.  Cf. previous blog post about resentment of people getting to have longer lives than Jerry did.  Also, I wonder if Eddie Izzard knows Heimlich was born in Delaware.  Wish I could tell Jerry.
