No matter how 'pure' their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too well at best."

Grew up in Tennessee. The weatherman advised one evening that we would have partly cloudy weather that night. Well, we woke up with 6 inches of partly cloudy...

Well, I'm back. Not a bad trip but felt pretty long. My wife could not go down so my plan was to pack the car with my CD case and hers. Forgot both. There are no decent radio stations for most of the trip. LUCKILY I had an EPOXIES CD in the player. Listened to that one (I believe) 18 times.
