[AT] Spam> Ohio Weather;

I spend a lot of time driving Richard and really don't mind it.  In fact 
most of the time I'd rather drive than ride.  I didn't enjoy driving in that 
snow and ice though.  I didn't have any problem
making way but I wasn't so happy with some of the others on the road.  I 
tried hard to stay away from traffic as much as possible by looking for 
holes in the line of cars and trying to stay in them.  It amazes me the way 
many folks all want to bunch up and run in a pack.

That don't sound like any fun at all Charlie. I don't drive that much any
more just no fun for me. I have a big year if i get 1000 miles on my truck.
Wife likes to drive so i ride shot gun. But she won't drive the truck with
trailer and two tractors on. [tractor reference]
