Ross,

My daddy wore a hat just like that down here when he was Sheriff.

Funny story (ME?????). One time when we were down visiting from Maryland my Dad gave my son one of his hats with one of the plastic Sheriff Badges on it. On our way back they kept talking on the CB Radio about a "Smokey (police in CB slang) in a plain white wrapper (an unmarked police car) going North on I-85". I kept my eyes out but never saw him. From the strong signal HE had to be close. After several hundred miles of travel a trucker we passed called on the CB and asked "how you doing Mr. Smokey?" About that time I noticed that my son had put the hat in the back window shelf.

OOOOOOPS!!!!!

May God Bless,

Danny

In a strange way, I miss those old CB days. Was life really better then?

You know, I think maybe the internet is the "new" CB. You can "talk" to friends (sometimes even very far away), argue with idiots, be an idiot, "listen to" bad language, "hear" the latest gossip, even hide behind a "handle", find their "20" (where you are in CB lingo), get a "radio check" and add a "kicker" (guess DSL is that now!) to get more range. It keeps you awake on those long nights "on the road", can even tell you where the smokey-the-bear traps may be, gives you directions, brings people together, keeps people apart and you can operate from a "base station" or "portable". I guess you could even hook up Skype and really talk to folks while on the road. WOW!!!!!!

So, keep the petal to the metal, the shiny side up, and watch out for them bears. By God, I think we got us a CONVOY!!!!!!! BREAKER, BREAKER ONE NINE!!!!!

May God Bless Good Buddy,

I got my antron antenna, 50ft of RG8U coax, Royce 40 channel base under the bed, Johnson Golden Pro Power Mic in a box that my fan stands on. Guess I'm ready to go again whenever............
