The tie-dyed T-Shirt hits home. We own a big rig truck garage, and one of my long time customers had a beautiful truck with WALSTIB Trucking nicely painted on it's doors. It was a long time before I asked, and found that it was the acronym for "What A Long Strange Trip Its Been"... I thought for the longest time his name was Mr. Walstib :)
