You've eaten SPAM? Ok, ... I'll grant you that, those 8-tracks have the
one up on me :)

Mine was in ... Nevada, probably about 1966 ... Flagstaff, 1970. I still
remember my mother with her head stuck out the window (it was a snowstorm,
we couldn't see out the windshield) ... "there's a curve coming, over to
the left ..." My Dad didn't want to put on tire-chains ... you get bad
mileage, you know ... sheesh.

All the best to you Jim! Enjoy your holidays!

Daniel
