Default What truck?

Aren't you retired? What's your hurry? Can't wait to get back to your
slow-moving floating RV?



I was all ready to move our slow-moving, floating RV from Scituate back to
the homeport on the Cape this morning. Although a bit foggy, visibility was
still enough for my single-handed voyage. Got the engine going, secured all
the cabin "stuff", then realized I couldn't see across the harbor anymore.

Decided to wait for another day. A bit too foggy to do it by myself.

A comment on the Florida driving discussion.....

Having lived in Jupiter for 3-1/2 winters, I have the following Florida
highway travel memories:

If traveling south on I-95 from Jupiter towards West Palm or Lauderdale, any
speed less then 70-75 mph in this congested highway section is dangerous to
your health. Florida drivers seem to subscribe to the Italian school of
driving, meaning you are responsible only for what you can see looking
forward, with diminishing responsibility to the extent of your peripheral
vision.

If you are traveling north on I-95 ... towards Stewart for example ....
where the traffic is much less congested, it is safe to slow down to the
speed limit.

I sometimes drive from Jax to Miami, but I stay within the speed limit.
It pleasures me to see so many drivers who have passed me pulled over by
a state or county mountie. I have on occasion even called 911 while on
the highway to report the tag number and vehicle description of a yahoo
driving too fast or dangerously or both, though I mostly do that up
here, on the stretch of a Maryland state road between Deale and Annapolis.


Oh...we had a bit of fog on the fields this morning.
