Thanks for what you do Mike. When I was 17 my uncle, who was an OTR driver with Parkhill out of OKC stopped to visit. He invited me to ride shotgun with him. I was a week into summer. Jumped on his invite, riding shotgun all summer longhouse, and hopped out of that Peterbuilt a week before my Sr year in high school. Got to see this beautiful country from coast to coast, and incurred a traveling bone. Been all over the world since then. Thx for letting me ride shotgun once again and reliving some one of the best times of my life. Breaker Breaker 19, you got the Alley Cat, do I you copy?

I.m surprised at the lack of comments about the roundabout (or "rotary"as i think you call them). From the UK in the late eighties i drove from Houston to San Francisco and didn't see one. I stopped in the truck stop in El Paso one evening and got talking to some truckers who'd come down from (i think) Oregon,and i mentioned on a previous visit i'd seen a roundabout in Orange County ,California. I recall one of them said to me "a what"and i explained "roundabout".His response was "Oh,you mean a rotary,they got one up in Colorado"!
