Ken, Willow Ranch is in Buttonwillow.

Here's some info.

Sweet. Right. Forgot.

Actually, I don't know any normal human being who uses those colorful names. They seem to be reserved for traffic reporters, so if someone's new to the area, they can't undesrtand what the hell is going on. It took me forever to figure out which freeway the Nimitz is.

i never wish to experience any of what ya'll are talkin about. we have 'the mertzon highway', and it goes from san angelo to mertzon.. then we got 'the road that goes to dallas' and 'the road that goes to austin', and i almost forgot, 'the road that goes to odessa'. yup, that just about covers it.

i got a funny e-mail the other day that said, the biggest thing we got to a traffic jam in san angelo, is 5 trucks stuck behind a 1 ton pulling a horse trailer on mertzon highway. yup, thats about right.

My wife and I once spent an hour sitting in a huge line of traffic on an isolated highway. When we got up to the source of the backup, it was a broken stoplight. In a (literally) one stoplight town. We were so pissed. That was the day it took us over 12 hours to get from Arizona back home. We hit that backup, another where there was an accident that put us on a 2 hour detour, road construction at the border that held us up for an hour...

"Actually, I don't know any normal human being who uses those colorful names."

My dad still does. He's a soCal native and was a trucker here for 35 years or so. But I reckon he ain't too normal either.

Whoops! Didn't mean offense...

Do you remember the name of the small one stoplight town?

Nope. I wouldn't even call it a town.. a fire station, a knick knack store, and 2 other stores. It was an intersection.

You have the "MixMaster" in Dallas...I managed to survive that, and the people I was visiting said I should go and get a t shirt. Apparently it is a very dangerous interchange, and there are actual souveniers!!!
