Joe,

JM>  The CSX mainline divides Huntington (WV) north and south.

  Too bad The Cardinal doesn't serve the area more often.

JM>  We have viaducts (underpasses) every so often for access and each has
JM>large signs reading X'x" in height, yet every so often some idiot with a 12'
JM>rig thinks they can use the 11' viaduct (or whatever the height is).

  He must have used Common Core Math. :P

JM>  Of course one can go around those but a out of the way trip.

  I went to Hot Springs last night for a square dance. The trip was
nice, since they 4 laned Highway 70, with a center turn lane...and added
a bypass around the city.

  Of course, doofus me missed the exit, so I ended up going through
town. So, after pulling into a Kentucky Fried Chicken/Taco Bell (I
originally was going to get lunch there, as I didn't eat before leaving
Little Rock), I called up the MAPS program on my smartphone, and it gave
me perfect directions to the site...even speaking where to turn...I was
impressed!! And, this is from a guy who years ago, had to have blind ham
radio operators direct him out of a hamfest parking lot, or a hospital
parking deck. <G>

  But, in going through town to the dance site, I spotted a Colton's
Restaurant, and resolved I'd circle back to have lunch there before the
square dance (I had to be there beforehand for an officers meeting).
There used to be one in Little Rock, but the franchisee didn't pay the
sales taxes...and both the city and state went in, and shut them down.

  Their soft buttery dinner rolls are to die for!!

Daryl
