[quote="Twilight Flyer"]Does it bother anybody that you can walk from one ocean to another ocean on this continent without ever touching the grass? 8)
If one was careful, I believe this could be done 75 years ago. Done with ease 50 years ago.
Now in Montana, there are places a person(s) can utilize unmotorized travel and proceed in one direction and not cross a "road" of any kind for a couple of hundred miles.

Of course.....He is going to "regulate" everything we do in the United States. Bigger government!!!
And regarding his Energy Plan...."Tire pressure gauges in every vehicle". Obama FINALLY has a policy.

math exercise:
My truck is running 63mph- flat out on straight level road.
I see I'm gaining ground on the WSE truck ahead of me.
I'm 3 truck lengths behind him--
It takes me 3 minutes exactly to reach his rear DOT bumper( of course, i've already changed lanes to pass him)
How fast is he going?
It takes me exactly 1 minute to get up-- nose to nose with him.
How fast is he going?
I then see he's talking on his cell phone.
It--- now takes me exactly 5 minutes to pull ahead and get my DOT bumper far enough ahead to safely change lanes back in front of him.
Now, how fast was he going?

Not as fast as you.
In related news;
What do you call two or more identically governed trucks trying to pass each other?
Special Olympics
In addition;
You can always tell a truck driver from Alabama,,,,,,,,,
But you can't tell him much.
