Gilligan's or Davey Jones
Or a thin ice fishing bar in MN; or I-40 after a barge wiped out he bridge (fatalities) in OK(2002); nor the crossing on I-35; 8/2/07 at Minneapolis MN.(fatalities) I can't think of the number of times I've crossed either bridge in a big rig! With the age of the road system in America infrastructure-wise, the cruise ship might be a little safer!

As long as Ginger is there it wouldn't be all that bad, but with my luck it would be Mrs. Howell I would be stranded with.
I've had one 'up close and personal' experience with the bottom and I don't want another one. The Holger Nielson* method of artificial respiration had just been made the popular method of resuscitation when I found the bottom of the lake. As much as people say I am full of s??t, and it floats, I don't. I sink straight to the bottom. For those of you that are too young to know this, this is the only method I know well. *

Keep a weather eye out , Neal. It's that time of year again.
My dad drove into the tail end of a twister one spring day and got shoved into the median on I-65 just north of the Tennessee border. He met some downed high tension power lines that busted the windshield out of his tractor and nearly cut through the post on the passenger side. Stay safe out there.

Isn't Australia considered a small continent?

nothing against Australia except; it is too warm at Christmas for traditional snowball fights,
you drive on the wrong side of the road, the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the vehicle, there are too many nasty creatures that either sting or bite or just eat, and finally, I've never been off the North American continent and absolutely no desire to.

If you run across a Texas tagged Black Nissan Titan with a 40' extension ladder up top, give a couple honks.
Love the road.

Yes, the island continent.

We drive on the right side, you guys drive on the wrong side. The nasties are a non issue and only attack tourists who are afraid of them. As for desire until you leave view do you know you live in the best place on earth? Having been a few places outside Australia, I know I do Last edited by TarJak; 04-27-14 at 06:53 AM. |

No, you drive on the left side, which is the opposite side of the right side, which is to say you drive on the sinister side. How gauche of you.

It's all relative as long as you don't drive on the suicide. Like the Ford Expedition loaded with a huge family that tried to pass me on I-40 in Tennessee as we approached a construction zone. The right lane was closed and barricaded but, the driver seemed to have missed the signs instructing a merge to the left. I had other truckers hollering for me to watch out for this idiot and I saw him almost eat the Mansfield bar on my trailer. He passed me after we cleared the construction and a pack of kids were hanging out of the windows. A few miles down the road, they were pulled over in the break down lane and they were all out of the vehicle heading for the woods.
