Yes I do. From the days when I rode with my dad and being in hillbilly country - North Arkansas and west Virginia- the very small places, I loved the way those people talked. So 'Pa' was easy. Ma came later. Mom doesn't mind. Pa does. Just got use to it. Planting by the "moon" really works, and later they raised rabbits and didn't have to do the annual trek. And that was a true tale. You know Farmer's Branch? NW Dallas. When I was married, my wife had a craving for Chinese food and it sounded good. She finds one in the telephone book and we have a map to get there (standard equipment) So I bob-tailed (took only the tractor part of the truck-trailer)and went down on a Sunday around that town looking for this Chinese place. Wouldn't you know it but a cop pulls me over and does the "HANDS OUT"! number and gets me and the wife out to the back of the truck and goes through the paper work and gives a ticket for driving in Farmer's Branch without a Bill of Lading. I didn't even have a trailer! We were looking for a Chinese place, officer on a main road, just south of the Beltway, and we were just next to where we wanted to go. This guy writes the ticket. And the Chinese place- it was closed on Sunday's. I don't like that town.

Your trek to Ithaca? I read how it all happened, Is it disappointing, or just another step that happens to all of us. Great expectations that goes a wry, a learning, and leads to better things. Have you been there before? I really like the ride going south of Syracuse to Cortland, it follows a long valley similar to the finger lakes region.Very pretty but can be oh so icy- cuz of the crosswind most of the time. I had to come up from Binghamton(south) and take the scenic route, glad I did it in summer to know the road is narrow and steep hills with a cross roads and small villages at the most un-opportune time.(like PA, not surprisingly) The people were fun but I only stay very short times so I don't have to live with them. My favorite place in Syracuse in the Crossroads tavern (walking distance to a big truckstop) N of town, their motto= "Warm Beer, Lousy Food" and they have the best chicken wings in the area. And the people are a great blend, sports minded folk.
