    Serenity? HA. Make ready for battle I say... Scotland the Brave to start off.

    Most of the more successful holidays been running west where there is no traffic to speak of for thanksgiving prior to and after. I recall in one I did not see a car or truck for 40 hours on a number of two laners.

    Shoot... We've been busier than a cheap ##### on the docks when the sailors come in this weekend. So far this week (our week runs Sat-Fri), we've already had 179 service calls. And it's only Monday!

    What's the chances of making it from Phoenix to LA today without a major wreck shutting down I-10?

    Hard to say. Running between Jackson, TN and Fort Worth early today, the 4 wheelers seemed to be driving sensibly. The trucks on the other hand.... many were pushing more than a few limits.
