    Got one in the weeds at the 440, time to showboat in these parts.

    Maryland Bears use what they call a Wolf Pack When you run the gauntlet they are about 10 per shoulder left and right in a herringbone pattern.

    Many times a visiting trucker new to Maryland would ask what the hell is a wolf pack?

    They come off the hill in say Indian Springs and say OMG! =)

    That's what they still call them, at least in NC.
    One troop on an overpass, and the chase cars on the ramp to pursue.

    just turn the radio onto 19, then just turn on your satellite radio, and listen to both. when you hear some sort of warnings about a bear or smokey, just ask to repeat that, and go quiet again.

    then just keep listening to music, or talk radio......

    many of us, just either keep the cb on to listen, others just keep it off.

    many times, 2 or more drivers, may be on a different channel, and if you butt in, they will not appreciate that either, as they are off 19.......the kiddie channel.

    If you say. "I ain't got no panties on."

    My response is always.
    "That's because I took them from you last night, and now I'm wearing your panties."

    Yeah, Its kinda strange when people ask for a break when nobody else is talking.
    It's courteous to ask for a break if you want to talk with some people about a conversation they are having, when there is a lull.

    Usually just say what is on your mind without beating around the bush works well. People maybe be going the other direction and your time is going to be limited. I don't see the use for "social courtesy" like "hey you, do you have it on?" or other introductions while the communication range may be dwindling fast. especially when it's something important.

    Just say it. :D Whatever it is.
