Happy news.
Hard to believe it is apprx. 25 years ago that this very ship sailed up into the St. Croix River on the Minn.-Wisc. border during the high-water of the eighties.

No, but from what I've heard of Atlanta traffic, along with it's easy-to-get-lost offramps, it sounded as about as appealing as LA or the Bay area.

Not that you don't have kamikazies on your roads, but you know you got some entertainment to keep you awake when you're observing a trucker 'slip-streaming' a guy in a Mercedes while he's in the fast lane, then pulling in the slow lane and attempting to pass, while the Merc driver won't let him back in, and before you know they're both fading off into the distance on a two lane highway.

Road rage is common flavor over here, no matter where you are. Long as I don't get caught up in the middle of some Mad Max escapade - which has happened on more occasions than I care for - then I'm happy.
