    Been at it for 15 years. The last 10 as an O/O. Still learning stuff all the time.

    It's truly amazing how teenagers will be completely experienced at something they have never done before.
    Yet, old people require years, before they consider themselves experienced.
    How stupid us old people are. :rolleyes:

    Depending on time of day it will be fine. Southbound 75 has been closed since February.

    I tell every kid I see the following.... the older you get, the more you realize, the less you know! 18 year old knows everything, I am 44 and not sure I know anything!!

    I went to work with the plan of doing better today than yesterday. Every day was a leaning day and every day was a watchful day. After 20 years safe driving I guess something worked there.
