It's on the way, or will be in a few minutes. But, hey, the roads are
clear. Take a two hour break and make the round trip...


More like three or four once I go through all 14,967 stoplights,
Charlie.

I've only driven to Roanoke once in the last couple of years on my own dime.
I hate the trip to Roanoke. Too damn much traffic. Being in all that
traffic when I'm only 2" off the ground in a little piece of aluminum foil
with only four wheels makes me uneasy, I guess.

Plus I'm just a home body. I drive for a living, but if there's no living
at stake, I don't go further than the shopping mecca/cesspool just over the
hill from here. I have gas, food, Lowe's, Wal-Mart all within a mile, and
SWMBO does 99% of that shopping too, so I rarely go even that far. Once or
twice a year I make the big trek all the way into town to go to the lumber
store.

I'm just saying it's nothing personal. I just don't get out much unless I
have to. Bedford might as well be in British Columbia for all the
likelihood that I will find myself in that corner of the world anytime
soon.
