I purchase a new Rand-McNally road atlas each year to carry along.
Imagine if cavemen were around when the dino's went through mass extinction,When i think of all the ‘good’ stuff that gets scrapped it really annoys me.
Not talking about driving the highway--the construction site only--got rid of the grade shooterSoooo true, (but I still keep some maps just in case)
Pops, look around antique stores and find old state highway maps. See the roads that were just gravel and the towns that no longer exist...Sometimes I just enjoy laying out a map and looking at all the places I havn't been......
Seems to be an odd perspective from someone who has spent so much time and talent memorializing old trucks in drawings.I have no ties to anything or feelings for it--rather cold I guess. I look at most things like
a tube of toothpaste once it's used up it's toast. I got that way early on in life, after living
through losing the dairy. And from that I learned {don't get too sentimental about anything
because there's some son of a b!tch just around the corner about to or planning on taking
what ever you have}. Yes I look at old machinery, know somethings about it, but it's a
inanimate object to me nothing more or less, and everything can be scrapped including a
Duesenberg in my world.

Same reason I rebuild the 80's engines, some people want them still and something to do.I like to know whats going on in the world but most days it’s pretty damn depressing. Its just one of the ways i cope
