I can't remember the name of the small town I was driving to, South
Bound on US 31W, between Louisville, KY and Bowling Green, KY ,
I 'think' South of Elizabethtown, KY ?? ,
but I had a BIG SURPRIZE at one spot where the 2 Lane Road did a quick
Zig-Zag.

So be VERY Careful Joe on those unfamiliar Highways.

Nancy, I'm sure Joe will stop at the first REST STOP after driving across
a State Line and get a up-to-date Map and get answers to questions about
traveling through the State.

You can tell I held the Key down on the Dash portion of the character R
to show I am   V E R Y   excited to be able to do that at Sign On.

I was 16 when the F.C.C. licensed Me as KN4ZIQ.
The ZIQ part means - Zero Intelligence Quotient ( 0.0 I.Q. ) .

Joe, have You sent any Email to Me?

I haven't looked in the Spam Box on the webmail page to see if there may
be a message from You.
But I will do that when I find that elusive ROUNDTUIT of mine.

Stay Tuned, Same Time, Same Frequency.

(I remember the old phrase was Same Time, Same Channel - but I never had a
Citizens Band Radio License, so I use the word Frequency instead of Channel.)
