Quoted from rotordave:

We drove down to DeMotte, Indiana today to collect the hearse for the Route 66 trip.
The funeral home website said the address was 621 N Hallett Street, we looked and looked and finally found the address which was a house (!!!) I went in there and knocked on the door ... Nobody there ... Went around back, all around, place was deserted. I thought, this can't be right ... I went next door to a store, and they knew where the home was, it was a mile down the road at 621 S Hallett Street ... Dohhhh! Lucky 621 N Hallett wasn't home or I might have got some shotgun pellets for my troubles!
When we got to the home, the funeral director was waiting. He was a nice guy ... I asked him why the address is wrong on his website and he's like "I've asked them to change it but they won't" Time for a new web company buddy!
The good news .. The hearse is pretty mint! It has a little rust around the back door handle which I knew of, otherwise for a 1993 car it is very good indeed. The air con even works! It's only done 60,000 miles.
PS the guy also has a 1997 White Caddy hearse for sale ... Looks mint. Don't know the price.

Just to show everyone that the USA isn't all deserted hotels and condemned buildings ...
We are staying in Longmont, Colorado for the Lyons Pinball Classic which starts tonight.
Stunning new neighbourhood with all you'd ever need within walking distance.
Well, we walk, but judging by the lack of crosswalks I don't think anyone else does.
Sweet new Holiday Inn (so I can live in sin ... At the holiday Inn!)

Huge Kohls over the road which always has great bargains on quality goods!

Scott's in. Danni made the playoff tiebreaker for the last place.
I just missed the cut ... Best of the rest. If I hadn't plunged the wrong ball I would have been in.

Quoted from rotordave:

Down on Fremont Street. I went looking for someone to give me a "free pull" and "$2500" but I couldn't get either.
Bummer.
I'm sure if I hung around long enough someone would give me one.

Snakes - no
Spiders - not really
Rednecks - no
Instead of rednecks we have bogans or westies.
