    Dave never did say which Ffffllllyyyyiiinnnggg Jjjjaaayyy in WHY-OH-MING he was staying at. If I find out it was that #### hole in Casper I will be sorely disappointed that the OM didn't break his arm to get him to pull into the Hat Six a few miles east.

    We stopped in Casper briefly, and it was posted, when the reader boards said the gusts were now going to 60mph.

    So we hung out for awhile, but it just didn't seem THAT bad, so we moseyed up the highway.

    Next time through there stay at the Hat Six. It's an awesome truck stop, on my list of 10 best truck stops.

    Probably the scariest moment in truckin happened on Rt 30 North in Whyoming. Rt 80 was closed through Salt Lake and I had been "advised" (given a bum steer) that I could head up Rt 30 which, as you all know, heads north off Rt 80, just a little west of Little America...It would be boring to tell you the story but, suffice it to say, I got religious on Rt 30....Dear God, save me.

    Think I'll mosey on over to the house and have a pop...

    Interesting little word "pop"

    by mixing water, bicarbonate of soda and an acid to make what was called "soda water." ... The word "pop" was added in the mid-nineteenth century and supposedly reflects the popping sound that is made when a carbonated beverage is opened. According to Mr.Google.

    Thanks Mr. Google
