    Not necessarily.

    The Internet will endure roughly 10,000 years provided there is still a 7 layer presentation language maintained among servers with the stored and retained data to convert from what is on the storage array to something that a human can understand.

    I could probably condense it and put it into a book but there is no point. A relative made a book and got it published at a cost of around 3800 dollars all done complete. 7 copies sold so far. Another only a few hundred to a thousand. (Royalties taxes kick in at 55 dollars revenue)

    There are several systems on the net that crawls and captures these posts. You could go back to the early 90's roughly when we first got ours through the local library and still read some of the captured pages retained from that time period.

    And no thanks on the tour. The United States has been more than wonderful and Im set where I am. I'll be passing on soon enough one of these days. No worries.

    I understand some have trouble with the way I write and so forth, the best I can do is point to Alexander Hamilton who was part of the Treasury during the Presidency of Geo. Washington and reading some of his early papers as part of history learning in elementry school times sort of came up with the realization that the man will write 100K words to get the information across if necessary. Among other things. That was a influential reading in those days. I was doing cursive writing several grades before they taught such things from being home schooled from before anyone understood what that means these days.

    The biggest challenge for me is to convert sign language into English and it does not always fit well. Or come out right. Words are inadequate to convey certain things. I do what I can. That's all I can do.

    I gotcha. Lots of work in Penn. & WV right now. Search facebook for pipeline work. It has all the info on new projects starting in the US. I retired last year from the teamsters so not in the loop much.

    Arkansas on AR14 where it connects to 65 the end is a 12% grade if I remember correctly. It was night and foggy but was a very steep right into a town. It's was pretty short though.

    Another fun one in AR, is going between the Tyson plants from Berryville to Rogers on 62. It doesn't have any grades over 6% but it has some tight as hell turns. You have to put the tractor into the oncoming lane with no view of traffic to get around the corners in the mountians or a 53 box will hit the side of the mountian cut outs. Its not for the faint of heart but its kinda a fun drive. I try to do it at night if I can because you can see the glow of headlights to know if there is a car in the oncoming lane.
