So maybe my 'bad luck' was, after all good luck - I tried to visit Garcia's earlier this week, as I was headed north through Indiana on Sunday. I figured it would be too late for Sunday dinner, but thought I might detour back after my Mon morning delivery, for lunch. I got the phone number, map...

>What a relief! I am entitled to my own opinion........as >long as I keep it to myself. That is profound! No, MSinger, it isn't profound, nor is it even close to what I said. Your opinion is welcome here, as long as you remain civil, and can defend what you say in this public forum. So...

All of you are correct, I'm sure, and getting a passport is on my list, really - I just haven't made it a high priority yet. Though I should, considering the fragile condition, due to advanced age, of my original birth certificate, lol. Thanks for the nudge, I needed that. :+ :+ :+

Vinnie, as the first driver to complain aver the lack of directions, I'd like to clarify: I am a ConWay convert to Panther. ConWay provided a macro on the QC for GPS directions once you are within 25 miles of the destination. That was clearly the most sensible way to handle the situation, IMHO...

I don't think any van other than a Sprinter can fit 3 skids, even an extended, without a bunk. With 8' for cargo, I have 28" left for my sleeper. Because it's a Dodge, the door height has been a problem at times, but we've always found a way to make it work, whether it means taking the top off a...

Jimmy: I would advise you save the money, for now at least. The federal government originally proposed the requirement that a passport be required for all border crossings , beginning in Jan, 07, but I don't believe it's been made law, and may not be. If & when the law is passed, then we have no...

Thanks! In this business, we need all the shortcusts we can get, lol. :)

Not sure I got this straight: the Ford dealers have the product (hybrid vehicles) that you want to buy, but they won't sell them, because they won't make a profit? If that's how they do business, it's a wonder they've lasted this long! The American auto manufacturers have been incredibly short...

I was told that 2 people can be signed on as co-users of the same account, (the frequent fuel card, not the bank acct), without being related, or codrivers, and each gets credit when either buys fuel. Does anyone know if this is true?

Good one, Pappy! :)

MSinger: I would have more respect for your opinions if you didn't get defensive and sarcastic when questioned. The rules of civil debate require that you be prepared to defend your assertions if and when they are challenged. I am hardly politically correct, and I'm definitely not "anything...

Well now, if I were at dinner with Rich & Linder & CoCo, I'd change the guests to Les Paul, Chet Atkins, and Mark Knopfler, because good music makes even the best time better. ;)

M Singer: please explain how people can feel that "Ford is trying to shove something down their throats that they find immoral" by placing advertising in magazines that heterosexual people would have no reason to be reading?

Highway Star: I've never thought of the DOT officers as the enemy, or even a necessary evil. As you said, they have made the roads safer for all, by removing the bad apples. But we know, and they know, that they have the upper hand in any encounter, and when they are rude to drivers without...

Ben Franklin, because he was a fascinating man, and Hilary Clinton, because she'd keep the conversation interesting, and Mark Twain, because witnessing dinner conversation between the first two would undoubtedly inspire him to write several new books. Which I'd love to read!

As I said before, I have a laptop & software, which I use for finding a particular restaurant, sometimes, but for routing, I use my map. And my map reading skills are excellent, thank you. My complaint referred to local directions. I don't have the luxury of space or money enough to purchase and...

I think "The L'il Deuce Coupe" was awesome, and my heart goes out to anyone who works so hard to attain their dream, only to lose it, through no fault of their own. You may think that hauling freight is all we should do, you may even think the subject "boring" - but the Rices were an inspiration...

As one of the poor drivers who doesn't (yet) have satellite radio, thanks for the link! :)

Sorry to hear of your bad time, Lisa, and it's good that you understand that you were in the wrong, & won't let it happen again, because we have probably all made a mistake sometime. Now I'm going to swim against the current, and say that the officer was doing his job correctly when he...

I have mapping software, MS Streets & Trips, never needed it with the GPS directions, & as a solo, I really don't want to be looking at the computer while driving. Accurate directions are essential - I just have a real hard time with those I've been getting. And sure, I can, & do call, but by...
