    Duckie-I would definitely have to agree with you about Memphis being terrible for lot lizzards. I used to live in Olive Branch, MS which is right down 78 from Memphis. Lamar Avenue is definitely known for the lizards, and even crime.

    At the petro in Knoxville. I heard that the lizards are charging 5 bucks. Other than that it's fairly quiet.

    Just pulled into the TA in Dansville, NY. Nice little place off 390. Pull in around the fuel island, turn around, plenty of room to pull up nice and straight back.

    Except for one thing. I found out how much Basil you could put in some soup. You know what this soup could use? Some more fistfuls of Basil.

    RE> The Pilot in Charlotte, NC is a dump. I used to always see some of the nastiest looking lot lizards at that one. Sometimes I could not tell what gender they were.

    OK this one goes in my book to stay away from LMAO!
