We are....I 40 and US 66 are basically the same road. In fact Williams is the last town to be bypassed by I 40 back in '84.

Good little place in downtown Williams to have breakfast, too. Pine Country.

The Conoco station on the west end of downtown, next to the Safeway, has a guy in his 80's that still does windows while filling your truck. His kids own stations from Barstow to Amarillo (or something like that). When I first talked to him I thought he might be one of the Whiting Brothers, but he wasn't quite THAT old. Nice old guy.

Last time I was in there, though, the gal behind the register told me that he hadn't been feeling well, and was "taking some time off".
