Every time I see a blue rig on the highway, I almost break my neck trying to see if a rubber chicken is hanging on the shotgun window. If ever I get to see mr. chicken you’ll know. Be honking my horn like crazy 😜. Sweet riding.

I live near the truck stop T&A in Sweetwater. My buddy works at the truck oil change place next to it. You must have made this vid a few days ago when we had that lightning show. It was one of the most spectacular lightning storms I've seen in 71 year. The flashes were much brighter than usual. I used to live up there in Arvada working local deliver around the front range. So I know your area too. I once delivered a pallet of bleach and a pallet of ammonia to the state capital building...and no one realized the bottles were leaking and mixing on the floor. Emptied the capital building out during session. I think that was in 1980. Good luck going up that road. I seen that building on the news today with protesters all over the place. Reminded me of the leaking delivery. There was a place along I-70 in Arvada at the time that did custom bottling of those chemicals. They got a bad batch of plastic jugs. It made the news that night.

Hi Mike: I agree with the comment regarding investing, use no load funds. Vanguard has a great deal of choices, probably some monthly investment plans. Global warming, been going on since the end of the ice age some 15,000 years ago. When glacier bay in Alaska was discovered, around 1700 the glacier was at the mouth of the bay. Today it’s a seventy mile trip from the mouth to the glacier. There’s nothing we can do to stop the warming. Thanks for the ride, be safe, we’ll see you next trip. Edward

@Riding Shotgun I was surprised and shocked when you said you're 58, the reason why is because you have the voice of a 28 year old, and you clinch it when you shout "PEACCEE!!!!!" at the end of your videos. Thank you for letting me ride shotgun with you and see our beautiful country. PEACE!..... I forgot to mention, you're a breath of fresh air listening to your views about lots of different things like masks & not wanting to wear them, I also don't want to. Also your views on Trump I agree with, even though I'm independent I lean towards Republicans, TRUMP 2020, let's hope he gets reelected.

I heard a great explanation for why this particular global temperature increase is important for us humans. It is true, as you say, that over time the earth has had warm periods and cool periods. This heating and cooling has been due, however, to increased or decreased numbers and volumes of periodic volcanic eruptions around the planet. This is readily provable through geologic layering all over the earth showing the various previous eruptions in the age of the rocks. Over the history of the earth, CO2 has been measured (in rocks and in ice cores) and its percentage of our air has always stayed in a fairly steady range depending on whether the earth has been experiencing high volcanic action (high CO2) or low volcanic action (low CO2 measurements). The problem for humans NOW is that while the earth is in a period of LOW volcanic eruptions the CO2 levels are actually soaring. Why would that be? Who cares? Well, these high CO2 levels trap heat at the surface and sure enough the overall earth temperature is rising rapidly. It will eventually (and not too long from now actually) take a toll on how and where humans can live (and eat). We should react sooner than later. We probably won't. We won't be looked back at fondly.

Many of the staunchest defenders of MAN-CAUSED global warming, also say that we've irreversibly damaged the Earth's Plate Tectonics System, not only with the erection of dams and skyscrapers, but by way too much testing of Atomic Bombs and Hydrogen Bombs, and, oh yes, Conventional Bombing during WW II, with bombs of unprecedented power.
