    Best to keep 'em to yourself. Too many get to using it, and guess what they will do with it...:confused:

    We could always give it back to Great Britain as a consolation prize for the American Revolution. We still have plenty of territories to keep the state count at 50.

    A few of them, some are just way to far out of the way though.

    A lot of the problem is how expensive real estate is up there. Can't afford to build a truck stop on land that's a couple hundred grand an acre.

    Highly overpriced and overrated real estate.

    So maybe they should go UP instead of OUT. Wonder just how economical a multi level parking garage for big trucks would be. Of course, they just might want to beef up the floors, and increase the distance from driveway to ceiling, but those are just minor problems....o_O

    Last nite, I left a place in Ky and ran 1-65, Blue Grass Pkwy and 1-64 , some 550 miles and I will venture to say that I counted at least 20 vehicles on the shoulder and half of them were trucks. I just don't get it. They go right by a rest area or an exit and then stop on the shoulder. Lot of blame can be laid at the feet of the police. Even if a car breaks down, you should be limited to 2 hrs to get the things off of the shoulder. Matter of fact going out to Ky the morning before just west of Grayson, Ky there was a truck broke down with repairs being made, when I came back by some 18 hours later they were still working on the truck. In my opinion, the truck should have been towed to a garage and got it off of the Interstate.
