And I have to tell you,if it's supposedly the oldest profession, it'll keep on to some degree no matter what.

When I was driving across the country last summer I had a 26' dry box with my car on a trailer and I stopped at a few truck stops, mine was a diesel, only to find that they were all quick-marts with fast food, maybe. Wow, what a rude awakening, especially when I needed something other than fuel and junk food. I stopped at Walcott, IA thinking I could get a nice dinner only to fund that it was nothing like the place I used to know.
