... I'm not sure I understand what you mean by local presence. When I use AAA roadside assistance, I call an 800 number. The AAA operator calls a local towing service (or whatever it might be) and that local service sends someone out to help. Are there no local towing services in northern Colorado that do business with AAA? Not an uncommon experience in rural areas. SW Kansas, NW Oklahoma and SW CO did not have AAA contracts either. I had to have my car towed to the dealer after the maker's roadside assistance ran out, and they had to send the tow truck from Wichita (150 miles) which was just as well as the nearest servicing dealer was there anyway. My experience with AAA in Indiana has not been what most are saying. A lockout downtown and a blowout on I-70 resulted in my wife waiting a couple of hours each time, might have been longer except in the first I finally got the message at work and went to unlock it, and the other time one of those courtesy road assistance groups came along and changed her tire. |

I can't speak for anyone else, but SWMBO belongs to AAA, and the time she had a flat on the southwest side of Austin she had to wait for three hours for someone to show up. And when she had a dead battery at home, is took about the same amount of time to get a tow-truck out to her. (We live about 30 miles outside of Austin.) Evidently they have one towing service that they work with for calls in our area, and they weren't in any hurry to send a driver out for a single call. Chuck Vance |

Actually, even moving to the "state" of South Jersey (below exit 80 on the GSP) would be nice, very different folks down there... I spent a couple of months in the great state of South Jersey back in the winter of '69-'70. I'm told it's a beautiful place. In the winter it struck me mostly as stark.......but then, I was there under less than ideal circumstances. South Jersey in the winter is rather stark since it primarily flat marshlands and farm fields. The western part of South Jersey is virtually indistinguishable, in culture and looks, from major portions of rural Delaware. In the warmer months it comes to life (sometimes in the form of greenheads and mosquitos and the oft seen philadelphian bennie). -- Rob Here in NJ we either get fat cat governors or little thugs First girl I ever fell in love with was from Piscataway.......I sometimes wonder what ever happened to her. Wolfgang hmmm, Piscataway. When I was growing up in Metuchen back in the 60's, this area was 90% farmlands. Today, I don't believe there is one farm in the county. Your girlfriend is probably lost in a maze of twisty industrial parks. Perhaps you can check in with her family to see if they've contacted the FBI? -- Rob |
