I always heard you lose your knees first, then your memory...and then something about girls and knees, but I can't remember what that might be!

Yep, I work in Alexandria and live about an hour north of Alex. What brings you through here? And more importantly, does this mean I can expand my Craig's List searches to Dallas? :D:p I drive a truck for Toys R Us out of Midlothian, TX, which is a southern suburb of Dallas.

I think the main thing I need that I don't have is a thickness planer.

In Tampa the police drive their cars home at night. I live about 10 miles north of the city. I see Tampa police cars speeding north.
