   Yeah, it makes one get serious about what they Really need to bring along,   
   and what they Really don't need...sort of like camping...actually it is a   
   form of camping, minus the natural setting ;)   
      
   > Can't say until the job is in our back pocket.   
      
   Or back yard, so to speak ;) Actually, I was just wondering if it meant   
   you'd be touring to each gig, at the same place as in a road trip to WV or   
   somewhere near it, or very far in any case.

   I thought only ILL-NOISE Corruption resulted in such bad roads, but it   
   sounds like you've got the same problem in OH.

   I've NEVER encountered that...not even in Thoroughly Corrupt ILL-NOISE!!!   
   Sure looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing to put that   
   surface on the road...because that's NOT supposed to happen!!! No wonder   
   it's so DANGEROUS!!!   
   You should put those pictures online and hopefully, some heads will roll!   
      
   Besides, roads should be paved with concrete - it's far better all around.   
      
   > I ride at particular times, avoiding peak traffic times.   
      
   All it takes is one Retarded Idiot, and since almost everyone out there is,   
   I just don't look forward to risking my life to them, which is why I ride   
   sidewalks every chance I get.   
      
   > And since it live in a mostly rural area, it's generally safe.   
      
   You're lucky ;) Not so much like that  for me, even though I'm in a   
   suburb...that USED to be more rural than it is now :(

   Speaking of which, it'll be getting into garage sale season around here - I   
   wonder if it'll be worth the  look.
