Thanks EC & Brown Eyed Girl.
fwiw- I vaguely recall the "Mile Marker" story being funny and endearing but I don't remember the actual story or why.

For those who don't know/remember me, I'm just an old CUer who left for greener pastures at CC during the great Ron Paul invasion. Ron is a nut though I do like Rand Paul. (must be an Ayn thing). Spent a few moons at another website and back again.
It's true what they say, "the grass is always greener on the other side of the internet".
