I’ve had a lot of changes. I have been working steadily which has kept me away from the keyboard most of the time. And, to my surprise, I have developed a romantic interest in my old age. This too has distracted me from this forum. Ms Crystal Denise Trammel and I are engaged to be married this spring. Links to this post.

I don't know about you but making mad the people operating things that could easily kill me seems pretty foolish. The vast majority of drivers I enco...

The cyclist was traveling south on Buckner, centered in the right lane. He had no answer. (The sho...
