    Mike,

    You would think they'd stop in the bigger cities, but it could
    be that it has become easier to find places to stop in ones
    that are not so big.

    Plus, stopping at places like a convenience store/gas station that's
    open 24 hours, means they don't have to pay for building rental and
    upkeep.

    Mike,

    Have fun!

    It will be my first out of state vacation in 9 years...and with the
    health and finances, it could be the last big trip I can take.

    When I rode them as a kid, the run between Louisville and Owensboro only
    had two stops at actual stations, and that was at those two cities. The
    other stops were at cafes or stores, and other hole in the wall places.

    Actually, I take that back... I don't remember what the stop at Ft. Knox
    was like. It might have also been a station of some sort, but not the "civilian" type one you'd see in the two cities.

    I suppose, if you treat raw chicken as meticulously as you do sushi,
    you'd be ok. But, erP...

    Sounds like a good way to meet Sal Monella. ;)
