I'm getting pangs reading about all the great drives -- even though I'm
in south Fla. Here's a tip for all you listers up north - - since all
your LBC's are tucked away for the winter, try reading "Blue Highways - A
Jouney Into America" by William Least Heat Moon. Truly one of the great
"road" books, one that will really get you primed for spring and summer
to arrive. I couldn't put it down.
