    There is another post on here regarding life changing events or seeing a death on the road. We pass these monuments by loved ones daily if not hourly. Everyone of these means not so much that someone was killed there, but that a family is in deep, deep pain. Thats what I think as I pass...

    Percentage vs Mileage

    I like to use the same math, I know they know it keeps everything honest. Too much can go wrong with % in a couple of weeks when you thought you were getting Y instead of X. Keep it Simple Stupid, says more than its worth.
