Guest Jennifer Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I use an MP3 player to hold all my music. I have a Dell DJ, which is a 20GB hard-drive based MP3 / WMA player. Most of my songs have come from my own CDs or else I purchase them individually from online services such as iTunes or allofmp3.com. I really like using the MP3 player and to me, it has made CDs the 8- track of today. All my CDs would get scratched or start skipping, and it's so bulky to carry CDs. I have over 2500 songs on my MP3 player, which is about the size of a deck of cards. All of the music is organized using various fields called ID tags which classify the Artist Name, Album, Track #, Song/Track Title and Genre. It's fun to group your music together to create playlists. I have playlists like "Road Trip" and "Get Your Kicks" as well as "British Invasion" and "Retro Vegas Lounge" which has gems by Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Wayne Newton, etc. "On a Mission from God" contains songs by the Blues Brothers or others from the movie soundtrack. I also have playlists involving specific decades, 60's, 70's, 80's. I have a playlist called "I Love New York" which contains all songs about New York City, "Living at the Movies" contains movie themes like Jaws, Raisers of the Lost Ark, James Bond, Pink Panther, etc...the possibilities are endless.

Guest genoman45 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I had a MGTD - my advice is to take along a lot of spare parts and expect a significant problem every 1,000 miles or less. I gave my son condolences when he excitedly called me to let me know of his 1988 Jaguar purchase. Those older English cars have great looks, appeal and their unique fragrance is seductive - a great combination of leather and oil - but don't expect them to be reliable. They are like sailboats; they take a lot of tinkering and love of maintenance. They are also very much like a high maintenance wife and you need to love them unconditionally to put up with them and they take even more attention to their quarky needs.

Guest Bakerhab@aol.com Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Subj: INTERIOR: Idaho Gov. Kempthorne nominated for secretary post Date: 3/17/2006 6:57:47 AM Pacific Standard Time From: StuartG@sema.org To: , stevem@sema.org E&E: Friday, March 17, 2006 INTERIOR: Idaho Gov. Kempthorne nominated for secretary post Dan Berman, E&E Daily reporterPresident Bush yesterday nominated Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne to take over as secretary of the Interior Department, a choice likely to be approved by the Senate despite the wide range of controversial issues surrounding the department and opposition from environmentalists. Known as a states' rights conservative, the Republican governor was considered the leading candidate to replace Gale Norton since she announced her resignation last week. "Dirk understands that those who live closest to the land know how to manage it best, and he will work closely with state and local leaders to ensure wise stewardship of our resources," Bush said in an Oval Office announcement yesterday evening. Kempthorne said he would work to improve the fractured relationship between stakeholders on the divisive issues facing Interior. "One of the hallmarks of my public service has been my ability to bring people to the table and to work together to build consensus," Kempthorne said. "I pledge to you and to the American people that I will continue in that role of reaching out and finding solutions. But environmental groups immediately opposed the nomination, citing Kempthorne's record as governor and in the Senate during the mid-1990s. "Dirk Kempthorne is Gale Norton in pants," said Chuck Clusen, senior policy analyst with the Natural Resources Defense Council. "Dirk Kempthorne surely will continue this administration's 'drill first, ask questions later' approach to public land stewardship." Confirmation could be quick Senators in both parties applauded the nomination and predicted a smooth confirmation process for Kempthorne, who served one term as senator from Idaho in the mid-1990s. "Everything I know about him tells me he will be confirmed and make an excellent secretary," said Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), whose committee holds jurisdiction on the nomination. President Bush "made a fine choice," said Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho). "He is talented, energetic and understands the issues that surround public lands and endangered species." Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Energy Committee ranking member Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) also praised the selection and predicted Kempthorne will be confirmed without much hassle. Selecting Kempthorne was "a smart and cautious move by a weakened president," said Don Barry, vice president of the Wilderness Society and a former assistant Interior secretary. "The last thing he needs is a draining confirmation battle." The nomination of a former senator could also limit the temptation for senators to place a procedural "hold" on Kempthorne in order to press the Bush administration on Interior policy issues, including a proposal to allow oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico's Lease Sale 181 area, a plan opposed by the Florida delegation. Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) last night told E&E Daily he would use the confirmation hearings to revisit the lease sale 181 decision with Kempthorne. "It will certainly be an opportunity to discuss it more closely," said Martinez said, a member of the Energy Committee. But Martinez demurred when asked whether he would place a hold on Kempthorne to force the administration's hand. "I'm not going to go there now," he said. After Norton's resignation, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) said he would block the nomination for Interior secretary if the nominee supports drilling in the 181 area. But earlier this week, Domenici cast a stern warning to any senators considering holds. "It's absurd to think you're going to get major American policy changes by blocking a Cabinet member," Domenici said, saying he would encourage the leadership to call for a vote on any hold (E&E Daily, March 15). Barry said senators should use the confirmation process to press Kempthorne on several controversial issues from Norton's tenure at Interior, including the recent rewrite of National Park Service management policies, increased Western oil and gas development and the proposed $1.1 billion in public land sales proposed by the Bush administration in the fiscal year 2007 budget. "There's no shortage of bad policies that need to be reviewed, and we would hope the confirmation process gets an agreement from Gov. Kempthorne to review them and reconsider them," Barry said. ESA record If Kempthorne is confirmed, he could quickly become a major factor in the push by Republicans to revise the Endangered Species Act. While Norton supported changes to ESA as Interior secretary, she was not a vocal advocate for them. But Kempthorne was part of a bipartisan coalition that attempted to get an ESA bill out of the Senate. "ESA may move up in priority" because of Kempthorne's prior experience, said Barry, who represented the Clinton administration in 1997 negotiations with then-Sen. Kempthorne, Sens. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Max Baucus (D-Mont.), and former Sen. John Chafee (R-R.I.). Kempthorne and supporters ran into opposition from conservatives who said the bill did not adequately address property rights or water rights issues and from environmentalists who said it would severely weaken statutory protections for imperiled species. The legislation included language to provide incentives to landowners to voluntarily conserve habitat and a streamlined agency consultation process (E&E Daily, Sept. 18, 1997). The bill "would have rolled back different provisions from ESA, but were nowhere near as sweeping and damaging" as legislation promoted by House Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo (R-Calif.) in recent years, Barry said. John Chafee's son and replacement in Congress, Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.), has stated the 1997 Kempthorne bill would be a "starting point" for discussion on new legislation to revise ESA. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee may take up legislation to revise the Endangered Species Act soon after the weeklong St. Patrick's Day recess. As senator, Kempthorne was also prominently involved in an unsuccessful effort to revise the U.S. EPA's Superfund waste cleanup program, and he successfully led an effort in the 104th Congress to enact the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, which limits Congress' ability to impose environmental and other costs on states. In 1996, Kempthorne took a lead role in advancing amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act to President Clinton's desk for signature (Greenwire, June 17, 2003) "During his career in Congress, Gov. Kempthorne earned a paltry 1 percent lifetime LCV score," said Tony Massaro of the League of Conservation Voters. "Enough said." Idaho record Environmentalists are also concerned about Kempthorne's record over eight years as Idaho governor. Kempthorne "has allowed the energy and logging industries to wield a very heavy hand in influencing how to mange our public lands," said Rob Vandermark at the National Environmental Trust. Under Kempthorne, Idaho was one of several Western states to go to court and challenge the Clinton-era Roadless Area Conservation Rule limiting roadbuilding, logging and other development on 58.5 million acres of national forests. Kempthorne also worked with the Interior Department to remove ESA protections for the gray wolf in Idaho. He and Norton recently signed an agreement giving Idaho more control over more than 500 gray wolves in the state as part of the process to delist the wolves in the Rocky Mountains. But President Bush cited Kempthorne's success in helping forge a deal on water rights in the Snake River Basin between the state, federal government and Nez Perce Indian Tribe. In exchange for dropping its claim to most Snake River Basin water, the tribe under the agreement will receive $80 million in cash and land, annual rights to 50,000 acre-feet of Clearwater River water, and a pledge from state and federal governments to provide tens of millions of dollars for fish habitats and other environmental projects (Greenwire, Nov. 23, 2004).

Even though the petition is approaching 18,000 signatures, I wouldn't expect a wholesale change back to the old format. I'd say the best we could expect is for them to tweak this new version. As group owner, I was as surprised as anyone when I logged in the other day and saw the format change. I would've thought Yahoo would have at least informed the group owners of the upcoming change, but that didn't happen. The best I can offer is for everyone to play around on the new version to get comfortable with it....it's probably here to stay.

Guest Pat B. Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Indiana and Kentucky officials have announced plans to replace the 77 year old Madison-Milton Bridge crossing the Ohio River from historic Madison, IN to Milton, KY. It's carried US 421 traffic since around 1950. Although a slightly intimidating bridge to drive compared to modern bridge engineering, the narrow lanes and ascension to the main bridge span makes for a careful drive. If you're a fan of old steel truss bridges and find yourself in the area, it's worth the drive across and a visit to Madison. The future of the Madison-Milton Bridge is uncertain once a new bridge is built. It could stay open as a pedestrian bridge, according to transportation officials.

Guest D Gardner Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 In continuing the thread on *interesting* street names... There's a street in Alviso CA (just north of Highway 237 off First Street--North of San Jose CA <although San Jose *claims* the area as part of its jurisdiction>)... called Hope Street And when you see the *end of Hope Street* .. you are in the Salt Marshes of San Francisco Bay. (Just got this nice tidbit from the Silicon Valley Metro weekly newspaper...) I've been on Hope Street and have explored Alviso a bit (because I used to work down the street a ways and we'd walk there for lunch)... just never noticed the street name in such a way.

In two of the pictures, you'll see that the Lauterbach giant lost his head. All three southern Springfield alignments of 66 were hard hit. T66 from MacArthur to Chatham Road was particularly hard hit. 5th and 6th streets were also hit. The Dirksen Parkway was also very hard hit. I was with Beth that night and we were in the basement on 4 different occassions (beginning at 8pm and lasting until 4am.). It was quite the night. Beth's place was luckily a half mile north of the most severe devastation. But our block had downed trees and downed power lines; but nothing as severe as a half mile south of us. I was thankful that Beth was so well storm prepared. We had candles and flashlights and were able to listen to a battery powered radio all night long. This was the worst storm Springfield has seen in 50 years. We toured the area the following Monday and it truly was as bad as these pictures show. Anyway, I wanted to share this great link and these stark pictures. Yours, Carl Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rwarn17588 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Emily and I have taken a shine to U.S. 77 through Oklahoma. North of Oklahoma City a few months ago, we had a great meal at a place called Lucille's, in a historic bank building in Mulhall, and enjoyed the Oklahoma hills. This time, after a rainy weekend in Texas and a nasty traffic jam just before the border, we took U.S. 77 north from the Red River. The highway takes a particularly scenic path through the Arbuckle Mountains. Interstate 35, which shadows the old road, only hints at the scenery. U.S. 77 takes you through the heart of it. It reminded me of the Smoky Mountains. We saw tourist cabins, canoe shacks and other mom-and-pop businesses along the sweeping bends in the road. U.S. 77 also cuts through Pauls Valley, which has one of the best- looking Art Deco gas stations I've seen. It's no longer an operable gas station, but it looks like someone's trying to fix it up. We noticed that U.S. 77 had a truck route through town. We found out why. The regular alignment goes through brick streets in downtown. Pauls Valley is a charming place; we'll have to check it out more thoroughly next time. One of the highlights of our trip on U.S. 77 is the Van's Pig Stand in the University of Oklahoma town of Norman. Van's in Norman is a satellite branch of the original 1930 barbecue stand in Shawnee. Although the Van's in Norman has been there only since 1994, it is unique because it took the remnants of an old gas station, complete with the canopy, and converted it. The restaurant also is festooned with a bunch of spectacular architectural neon. It reminded us of a similar conversion of a gas station at the original Threadgill's in Austin, Texas. By the way, the barbecue was terrific. The taste of the curly-cut fries reminded me of the Cozy Dog in Springfield, Ill.

Guest Russell S. Rein Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Yeh - Van's Pig Stand in Norman!!! What a great place. I think it's an old Spanish style Sinclair station.

It will be monthly, cover the entire road with articles that entertain, inform and enlighten. We will have a web site soon.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Yesterday was the grand opening of the new American Sign Museum here in Cincinnati. I attended and, even though it's not exactly "on the road", there are plenty of former road side decorations inside and I thought group members might be interested. I've posted a few pictures at http://www.dennygibson.com/asmopen . The normal "get bigger pic by clicking little pic" does apply. --Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rudkip@sbcglobal.net> Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi! Here are a few ideas for you: --Warrensburg, MO...at the Johnson County Courthouse is the statue of Old Drum and the "Tribute To The Dog" perhaps the most eloquent pieces of scripting about the canine ever written. --Jefferson City, MO--The State Capitol is a pretty cool one...if you take the Bridge (US 54) across the river you get a great view of it across the Missouri River... --Bonnoits Mill, MO...If you are willing to take a little side trip, if you turn left on CR A about 10 miles east of Jefferson City, about 6-7 miles North the road ends in this extremely cute watering hole on the Missouri River...there is a cool old saloon there called Krautmanns (on the National Register). --50 connects with I-44 just East of Union. If you are hungry, at the next exit off I-44 (SR 100) is the Tri County Truck Stop/ Restaurant...the Country Cured Ham is fantastic --50 piggybacks I-44 to Lindbergh Blvd. in St. Louis...then connects with I-255 to cross the Misssissippi and follows that to I-64...it follows I-64 for several miles before veering off to Lincoln, IL...real cute little downtown there.... --outside of Lincoln you can turn right off of 50 and take old 50 through Summerfield and Trenton...Trenton is a cool little town with lots of cool signs, a great bowling alley and the Trenton House Restaurant, which may have the best onion rings you will ever find... --on to the East on old 50 is the little town of Breeze, which has Wally's Drive In...a real throwback! --East of Breeze is Carlyle, where you can access the lake...on the east side of town is a park that has a little bridge you will see to the left; as I recall it is from the 1800's... That is as far as I have gotten...I am sure others can chime in and correct me if I am wrong....a guy names Wulf Berg did a book called "US 50 Coast to Coast" that you can procure on line...enjoy your trip!

Guest chris Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I wonder how much data we have assembled on Old York Road's importance in the colonial era? Granted, I'm talking about a time well before the Automobile. But a road is a road is a road. . . . ....Chris - NJ Exit 7-A ______________________________________________ Friday, April 29, 2005 By ANDREW KITCHENMAN Staff Writer WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP (NJ) - The 1740s-era Inn of the Crooked Billet took a step toward being preserved, as the township committee voted 3-2 to buy the historic house that may have been visited by George Washington. . . . "A piece of history has been preserved," Deputy Mayor Henry "Pete" Chamberlin said after casting the deciding vote in favor of purchasing the former inn, which is known as both the Inn of the Crooked Billet and the Cattail Tavern. Mayor Douglas P. Tindall and Committeeman Mark Tobias also supported the purchase. The building was built as early as 1747 and served as a way station for travelers between Philadelphia and New York, as well as a social center for nearby farmers. http://www.nj.com/news/times/regional/inde...111476223529665 1.xml http://makeashorterlink.com/?J13222DFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest D Gardner Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Ha! My wife brought a story home like this a few weeks ago. She saw a lady seemingly in distress standing outside the dental office where she works. When my wife walked out and asked if there was anything she could do to help, the lady cried that her automatic door unlocker wasn't working on her car and that she was in a hurry and that her phone was locked in the car so she couldn't call AAA. My wife looked at the automatic key fob the lady was holding and saw all the keys on it. She asked the lady if the key that she uses to *start the car* was on that key chain. Well, yes. Then, my wife suggested that she try the key in the car door. Well, by golly, the key worked. Before the lady drove off, my wife suggested that she stop by the local mall and get a new battery for the key fob. Wonders will never cease, eh?

Guest jim conkle Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Evening friends, The folks at the Route 66 Chamber of Commerce in Deadwood, NM need our help. They have a project where they are trying to get the state to change the name of the old road to Route 66. They need us to write letters to their governor in support of this project. If all goes well they will be able to get this done in this the 80th anniversary of the road. Please send your letters to Bill Richardson, Office of the Governor, 490 Old Santa Fe Trail, Room #400, Santa Fe New Mexico 87501. E-mails will not work although phone calls might. Once again a fellow roadie needs the Route 66 Community to stand up and be counted. Please pass this on to all your friends and fellow roadies. The more letters the better. For more information call Keith & Kerry Matson 505 832 0603 or e-mail them at matson-3357@peoplepc.com They want to not only thank everyone but invite you to stop by on your way to and from Albuquerque and visit them.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Cool. My long held simplistic theory was that the old road had been a straight line across the gaps. After Saturday's visit, I realized that couldn't be the case for the Great Miami crossing and figured Sullivan road had to fit in there somewhere. The map explains it.
