We used to be in Cinco just opposite Beck JH, but now we're down the road a bit at fry and 99.

Originally from a small market town in North Yorkshire, about 10 miles inland from Middlesbrough. Haven't lived there in a long while though, but we go back at least once a year. Where are you from?

Heck, I think ALL the freeways have been under some sort of construction since I got here in '78!!! Certainly 45 and 59 . . . . I45 at NASA Road 1 was scheduled to be shut down COMPLETELY again tonight (I'm sure Humberto has postponed that)!

My father's from Pontefract ... High Ackworth, to be specific. I haven't been there in years, but he still has the accent.

The ones that look like there are 2 attached together? Love bugs I think they're called. They're horrible to look at! Worse than 2 dogs at it on the lawn!
