Mike, you're right about being prepared for "anything". We had stopped at a rest area one night. This rest area was split - truckers on one side and everyone else on the other, with an entrance to the building on each side. Every time we pull into one of these places, seems we always have one eye open...maybe 1 1/2. *lol* Anyway, this was a particularly entertaining location. There was this woman kept going from truck to truck, and she didn't need a suitcase to display her wares! Then there were some folks that kept wanting to go out into the bushes for some reason. Wife couldn't figure it out, but seemed every time there was "stuff" being lit up. Weather and temp were great, no wind, so no need to take shelter from anything, except prying eyes!
But it's the last entertainment act that had us on the edge of our seats. Some guy showed up, we "think" looking for the lady who was going from truck to truck. Now, in all honesty, maybe she was just trying to escape a maniac, but she sure did have a free-spirit way of doing it! Anyway, this man shows up after most folks were asleep and started doing his own vehicle-to-vehicle search! He started heading our way and, being fully loaded with the trailer jack taking weight off the truck, we couldn't just up & go. He got within 20 yards before something caught his attention and he went back to the semi's. We took that chance to get back on the road -- just didn't seem to be tired anymore.
Next time through the area, we heard there had been a shooting at a rest area. Didn't know if it was that one or that specific night, but was in the general area.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
