    So I'm at tge cemetery putting flowers on the kinfolks graves. This older lady stops and gets out walking towards me. Never seen her before. She says hello I'm Arlene's sister. She had wondered who had been putting flowers out. We talked for awhile and she left. Her name is Marge. Very nice lady.
    Ralph was my grandmothers brother. He went by Bob. Veteran of three (3) wars.

    Does your state allow a tolerance?

    Worst case, if you had to you have room to pull the drums back about 8 feet or so. Then, sliding trailer axles will have a more pronounced effect.

    My vest I wear on the bike has a few. There’s a “lone wolf” on the back, and a couple trucking patches on the front with a “come and take it” and an American flag.

    Joining the hope on reasonable fix; to a usable level, and a great base for getting up to your styling level.

    Well; the sandbars on the Pearl River off the Natchez Trace before the reservoir, was where the girls used to congregate.
    In swimsuits and with their own beer some time. Driving for Riddell in Canton, in on Saturdays, with $75.00 pay, and only 19 miles down there...
    Nice slow flowing clear water wandering shallow river. Fine times... @MAMservices may have been exposed to the area in later years...

    You know. Every state either has signs saying, “Fines double in work zones, hit a worker 10k fine, plus jail…” noone slows down.
    I think, if we say, 1st offense, 2 weeks in jail. Second offense. 3 months jail.
    Third offense. 364 days, just shy of the one year go to prison mark, that may slow some of these crazies down. They’d lose their job/home, etc, not just a 150-300$ fine and a smack on the back of the hand.

    I had two fly passed me on i80 outside Lincoln Nebraska, then the guy in hammer lane, (the speed radar sign said 76/65,) slammed on his brakes, the guy chasing him almost slamming onto him.
    This could’ve caused a fustercluck and/or road being shut down. Or both.
