Mercy sakes alive looks like we got us a convoy! I miss those days of ratchet jawing on the old CB. It was a helluva lot safer than texting.

I miss ‘em too.

C.W. McCall was a good ole boy, haven’t heard Convoy in years.

Another favorite was Wolf Creek Pass.

Have you been on CB lately? I carry my Dad’s 1975 CB radio; in case of backups on interstate it’s the only way to find out where the wreck is. In the seventies nobody used profanity & got chewed out on the air if they did.

Today? Foulest language I’ve ever heard, as the truckers complain about deadlines missed, etc. When someone comes on with a mile marker & description, it means take the next exit to anywhere. Better than sitting in traffic.

More often, traffic backed up for miles & when you reach the wreck scene, the vehicles are already cleared off the roadway & now the delay is due to rubberneckers. Geez!
