[Rebels1972] knights of the highway

Coop, I well remember when that happened and it was horrible.   It seems as though all of us have had bad experiences or still having them each day.
Maybe there's a lot to say for the signs around various towns---    Be a Professional Truck Driver in 3 Days!!
Stay safe out there on Death Valley.

  Your Right , John Dale. BUT, I  tried not to get into this discussion but cannot ignore it anymore.  I have traveled on the stretch of highway
  on I 20, known as ( DEATH VALLEY ) 5 times a week for 10 years. From Pell City to B'ham & I always thank God when I arrive at work.
  I cannot express in words, the depth of my disdain for Truckers. I mean MOST Truckers. I KNOW/ I LIVE IT !!!  Most of them go in excess
  of 80 MPH. I have also been ran off the road countless  times. Tailgated in the middle lane  of a 3 lane  hwy.when the passing lane is open on the left lane.With thier headlights flashing in a rage to get me to move over. I have learned to move over. 
  My first cousin, Jeffery Arlen Nunn was killed instantly when an 18 wheeler / speeding / in the rain / on 2 lane hwy 411/
   in North Gadsden. Why ? Tell My Uncle Kenneth Nunn how the poor trucker just had a bad day.Or tell Jeff's Widow / or His Mother.
  I will stop now. It's hard for a grown man to type with tears in his eyes. Later COOP !  ---- Original Message -----

    Shazzam... it's time to move off the discussion of truckers.  My late precious maternal grandfather would say... "It's time to untie your horse from the hitching post on this subject."  Anything else new with anyone these days since the reunions?  Rain... man, do we need rain for the agricultural industry here in central and south Alabama.  How praying for the good Lord to send rain?!?  Now... I think we could all agree on that.   John Dale
