    Also if you are pulling a camper stay the hell out of the left lane.

    I'm dragging a fifth wheel camper to go trout fishing for the next week. Gonna left lane it the whole way after hanging a sign on back thats says "Hi I'm Tim but my friends all call me Sota on Bowhunting.com forums." Let me know if anyone writes.

    There's a story there... Also sounds like some drinking may be needed.

    Are you trying to drum up business?

    You and Sota will be happy to learn SC is implementing a new left lane law - will be fined for driving in the left lane, unless passing...

    Since Arkansas implemented the left lane law last week, I have seen violations every day in my commute and not an officer around to deal with it. Creating more traffic laws that would actually be useful is pointless if you cut funding to the state trooper's budget and there are not enough officers patrolling to enforce said laws.

    This summer in the PNW. So many fires and 100+ degree days.
    The AQI this morning is 266. Will be donning an N95 mask to mow the yard today, can't wait for that in 105° weather by the time I get off work.

    But do they have the delivery vehicle? If not, let's start a Gofundme page. So tired of scamster telemarketing calls.

    yes, they have nuke-capable bombers.
    Also, as much as the day to day scam calls are annoying, India is the lesser of two evils. I have been to the IndoPak border and let's just say the Sikhs and hardcore Hindu Punjabi are much nicer to Westerners than the Other Side.

    India is a hair trigger from going to full-blown war with both China and Pakistan...

    Its been about 12 years since my last trip to India. Do not plan on ever going back if I can help it. The wife wanted to go for Holi day one year until I showed her a few pics, she is a germaphobe and I tried to put it politely until I broke out some pics of the sacred sewage canal otherwise known as the Ganges. There for awhile it seemed like I was passing through Delhi about once every two weeks, nothing like the smell of that place, a curried turd.

    well, if they start writing a bunch of tickets for that it would help revenue.

    If I was a uniform cop running the highway I would double cover my salary writing those bad boys up.
    Far as I am concerned people ought to get the death penalty for that.

    Northern India is actually pretty interesting and I am glad I went and got to see the Taj Majal and all that.
    Do I ever want to go again? No. Maybe Nepal I guess.

    Save your coinage and go to Bali instead. Tibet is interesting but that part of the world is getting a little dodgy. At least in Bali you routes of escape are way less constricted. Nepal is awesome, dont get me wrong but it seems Westerners are less and less welcome. Kathmandu is neat, old and security is not to be trusted. But I'm sure you know this.
