     Someone in the Portland area just chastised me for submitting an
incomplete list. So here is an addendum to the previous list:

    10) Keep the high beam on at all times to let them know you're there.
	Especially important if you have a jacked-up rig whose headlights are
	higher off the pavement than normal.

    11) Leak oil to keep the road properly lubricated. (Especially important
	because Oregonians always vote down gasoline taxes to repair roads;
	considering the climate, Oregon roads are probably in the same shape
	as roads back east where at least the weather can be blamed for the
	poor road conditions. In Oregon the only blame is not enough upkeep
	and maintenance to the roads.)

    12) Emit smoke to keep the air hazy, thus blocking out harmful ultraviolet
	and nuclear radiation. (Same applies to Wood Stoves.)


     I got a few replies from people wondering just where I have driven before;
they all thought I was serious about the rules. Just to set everyone straight,
DO NOT drive like the rules posted; I guess the sarcasm didn't show through
enough in my original posting. What was implied (and only one person who
replied to me had correctly figured out; he suggested the above rules) is
that THIS IS THE WAY OREGONIANS DRIVE!!!! Everything in my original posting
I have personally experienced many a time driving in wonderful Oregon!!!!
