[TheForge] CQ CQ Anyone out there?

[Jerry Frost]

Once I bught a step van to make a mobile shop and tow my 20' car hauler for 
the stock pile. I wish I'd thought of a train, I'm thinking of Wild Wild 
West for the theme. How's Artemis Smith sound? The step van? Uh, left it 
where it was when Deb and I move out here to the valley. It turned out to be 
one of those costs more to use than it's worth situations.

HWY1 is pretty famous as a disaster in motion. If you had cable you'd know 
it's just going to fall into the ocean any time. We have a couple, built and 
proposed HWYs that'd cost more to keep plowed in winter, let alone 
maintained, than just buying airplane tickets for anyone who wants to come 
or go.
