You've gotta love Lowell Huggins. He 'tells it like it is.'
Here I thought I was getting a jump on tomorrow's news by posting tonight, and you posted the link to the Ahwatukee freeway story a couple hours before me...
RE: Lowell, he reminds me of a crusty but loveable grampa. I'd like to meet him some day.
AJ, it's only fair, considering all the times you've scooped me on Chandler news. :)
