    Which don't work in many places. 55 average don't work in a lot of places, either, like Louisville to Roanoke, keeping within the legal speed limits.

    I think there is a few to many that signed up for UPS this year considering most of us are waiting to go out, except for the teams which get priorty.
    Though I did run up to Chicago and back last night into this morning.
