• Abstract:
  Over the years, the Rambler has come across quotes that he wanted to save for a future book series on the history of highways after he retired. Because of other very important activities in his life, he never got around to writing the books. But recently, while retrieving his DVD set of the ten seasons of "Smallville," the Rambler came across the index card boxes that contain his quote files. On the theory that the quotes are interesting or, if not, at least they are short, the Rambler now presents, for the first time, The Rambler's Quote File, this one focused on pre-20th century roads. (Warning: This may be part 1.)
