[TenTec] Come On Guys

[Tim]

I'll agree. I welcome the roundabouts. Hehe, in fact I have to go 
through 5 of them to get to Wal-Mart. That also includes a Diamond 
bridge. Sartell, Minnesota has been putting in roundabouts everywhere 
they can.

Sending CW while going through a roundabout is a bit harder to do though.
