    I did a round trip through there last week and I didn't any anyone selling "the green or the white", or their girlfriends either. No one wanting to clean (and also clean out) your truck.

    Big change from a few years ago. Was relatively quiet. Think I liked it better the old way. At least it used to be somewhat entertaining.

    I've had the opposite experience while wearing a groove between Atlanta and Syracuse. During the day it's about unusable due to all the DX chatter. Especially harddrive in NM. He's got a great sounding radio, but I don't need to hear that pest 12 hours a day non stop. His incessant blabbering caused me to miss a detour exit once because he was talking over the locals, this near Dalton GA. All the rest sound like drunk or brain damaged lonely old people that need a different hobby too.

    I've never understood how those guys can wake up each morning and think "I'm going to annoy a bunch of people all day today."

    I turned the radio off today. Some guy with a big radio pretty much talking to himself. Don't know who he was. Some other guy I hear quite a bit too

    Clay's is the only shop I'll use anymore. In fact I was just there yesterday.
