I went to school for my CompTIA A+ certification about two miles away from
WH HQ. There's two WHs within a half-mile on either side of HQ, both great
places. Clarksville makes sense; Fort Campbell is there. Gotta give
soldiers food all the time.

Sounds like my stepdad; he thumbed it a lot back when it was still safe-ish
and rode motorcycles from Phoenix to Indiana a lot in the 70s.

That and all the crazy people wandering those same roads. I still prefer to
take national/state routes and byways when I can if I am not in a hurry.
