    @Judge, this Morris, IL...
    In the 50's; at the junction of US 6 and IL 47, stop on 47 for stop sign to cross 6. Look to your left and in the corner would have been The Owl Restaurant, with a big gravel front of plenty easy truck parking. My last stop/coffee before WI line at Lake Geneva enroute to Waukesha.

    Going north on 47; after you crossed US30, you dropped down sharply thru town and to a river and back up and level to the Owl. Going down then you were passing a line of close storefronts, including the Police dept. Where the MAN sat (in good warm summer weather), in a lawn chair monitoring his twin cable whammy in the street. You speed, he have the car apprehend you as you pulled up at the OWL.
    Wish I had a dollar for every time I crossed 6 on 47. Not rich, but be nice....

    @wore out .. Gus could prolly tell you some things about what I describe above. I can't contact him.

    Some talk earlier about a couple of refineries pulling out of CA , as too difficult to do business.
    Ya don't suppose this one decided to go out with a "bang"; while collecting bye bye insurance money as they passed went?
    Jus saying what I'd consider under the circumstances....

    Two brothers talking over coffee in a cafe in Indianola, MS years ago. Co owned a wholesale grocer business.
    Guy at a nearby table commiserated with: "Sure was a bad fire there... "
    They accepted with: Yes, (under breath) but then.. Profitable...
