**Route 66,** there is no route 66 anymore and only parts of the old highway even exist, most of it was torn up when the interstate highway system came in. Keith ---

The Syrians are mad at the Lebanese, And Baghdad does whatever she please…_ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BigStar303 \* > **But the idea of exchanges being named (or represented by two letters) is obsolete.** About a year ago I was spending a lot of time on the phone talking to Southwestern Bell about getting ADSL. At one point they mentioned that the **Project Pronto** timetable showed that _Fleetwood_ (my exchange) was scheduled for Q3.

dialing for dollars was still running in the 90’s on channel 13 here in seattle. many many of those old love songs when you listen to the lyrics these days are DAMN out dated. that kind of behavior would get you a no contact order asap. unfortunatly I cant think of any with so little sleep.
