I deliver to a place around Boston called Peabody.
I pronounced it Pee Body.
A guy kidded me and demanded that I say Peh-buh-dee several times until I got it right! lol


Can we get an audio clip of you saying it like that?

The Clintons' good friends produced both that show and "Evening Shade". You just know that they would pull a "Roseanne" of some kind.

Yeah, they'll do that, but with multiple sources to access and customize personal media, they are fighting a losing battle.

Speaking of Evening Shade: Anne Wegdeworth was another one that always caught my eye.

I will but only on the not Bart cast.
Will you negotiate a deal?

My buddies cabin that I stay at once or twice a year. It's a nice little place out in the middle of nowhere.

I-75 north out of Knoxville. 62F.





Also, doesn't this sound like a nice place to live?

Just you and your guitar and George Killian?

Heaven. :)

I've driven a fair bit of this nation but I think the interstate highways in Tennessee are likely the finest in the nation.

Your over the road grade, driver?

Not nearly as romantic as they are made out to be on the teevee. 😐

They get a bit rough towards Memphis - that city has the worst roads, period. Kentucky has real nice roads, as well.
Eh, I prefer roads to be a little roughed up because you can feel what is going on underneath you.

Yeah I've driven Kentucky and really liked their roads too.

One of the worst I've been on is the concrete expansion jointed (it was then) Pa. Turnpike.

Good cal on being able to feel the road - if I was hauling tens of thousands of lbs. I'd want some feedback too.

Oh, yeah! The PA turnpike is garbage.
Constantly under construction and not a damn thing gets done!

Second worst the Jersey Turnpike, followed by large stretches of I-95.

A state I have missed. Odd that - little to no freeze/thaw/ice/salt action there, yes?

I seem to recall driving it... Water in both ditches all the time made me think that they simply built their highways directly over swamps, and that they did not hold up as well as they had hoped.  I didn't find it terrible- but that was also quite some time back...

Great observation, the swamp buckling factor might be akin to what you folks get up north when the ice roads thaw out.

You have better luck with that than the Bartcast. Producer seems upset with you.

Mishandled funds would be my guess.

Nah, those are sexual references.

You can buy a big tub of chili at Wendy's for ten bucks.
They say that it feeds 7 - 9 people...
