Mike I couldn't get your album to open; I don't use Gmail. Ummm; I'd like to see the Canadians but the three you've posted are from your side if I'm not mistaken. They are excellent photos though; you have a great eye for composition. I hope you had a good time over here; "north" of the border.

Announced Yesterday: This is good news for anyone coming up to Canada. The truckstops aren't always as good as you are used to in the States. This will likely force Husky to keep their locations in good order. I wonder how the regional 5TH WHEEL chain will adapt. Flying J and Shell Canada to...

Just how ignorant are you, Kraig? You can't even spell El Queda? The attacks by the terrorists were an attack on all things western; including Canada and Germany. There are those who feel that since the United States has a "client" government in Saudi Arabia, and has troops in the Muslem Holy...

After reading the "Truckstop Gouging" thread; I started wondering how a truckstop makes any money today. Truckstops seem to be turning into glorified rest areas and "away from home" terminals. They traditionally made money on fuel sales and had things like restaurants, stores, tire repair as...

I think that used to be SERVICETOWN Truck Plaza. It is rather old; I stopped in there for dinner in 1968 or so. The management must work hard to keep the older places in good shape. It doesn't take long for a place to get run down...

Prayer RE: Legally Approved Holiday Greeting Rich; I'm not trying to pick a fight here. What public building would you pray in? A church, obviously. A chapel in a hospital or funeral home. In the middle of a mall? - If you want to. In a truckstop? - If you want to. In a restaurant?-...
