My grandson texted me today to thank me for my service in the Navy, and added a thanks to my late dad,who saw Pearl Harbor and Tokyo Bay during WWII. I'd forgotten what the date was today, nice to be reminded by the up-coming generation. Salute, y'all.

I'll be picky first, then agree. By "them", I hope we mean just radical anti-American Muslims, since many are not. To find the bad apples, I agree that we should vet much better. Is it just me, or does anyone else think we should vet the whole leadership of Saudi Arabia. Seems as though they...

I'm leaving Florida today. I would love to take a load 3100 miles to join you. Don't hold your breath.

Did you also hit the Grapevine during the bad snowstorm recently? Is your current trip paid, relocation, or vacation? A little of your rum might be a good thing.

I just finished a run from Chattanooga to Daytona Beach. Only 50 miles from home, so I decided to call it quits early until after the holiday. Before I could go out of service dispatch offered an immediate run back to North Carolina. A good load back out of Florida? Wow! They made an offer...

WOM......sure, now you tell me. I'll be at the Pilot in Holland tonight, singing Baby It's Cold Outside.

Indy today, Minneapolis Mon AM. Anyone going to be there for breakfast?

My late comment on Great Lakes... Yellow perch fishing, the mainstay of every kid's summer adventure on the Lakes, is rapidly disappearing. Fewer fish, and according to wildlife officers, almost no young fish found that were growing to adulthood. Mussels are eating too many micro-plants...

Turtle.... Can you provide a link/report for your comment that liberals only get info from liberal sources? Thx.

It appears that Dorian will delivery only tropical force winds to Space Coast tonight. I might leave late tomorrow if wife and home are fine. But where to? I wish I could drive to the Bahamas with relief supplies. Those battered people desperately need everything.

Sitting at home on Space Coast, waiting for Dorian. We're ready, currently a sunny beautiful day. Tomorrow the fun starts. When it's over, and wife and home are fine, I'll head north. For Hurricane Irene I hauled generators from McDonough, GA to NJ. Maybe that will work again.

Your Dad lives on in you. It's obvious he was a good man, and left behind a good son.

U-haul rents large straight moving trucks to anyone with a license, CDL or regular.

And I'd take that "you have to have a school" with a large grain of salt. Call any companies/fleet owners you are curious about and ask. Again, neither I nor my wife needed school for class B expediting. But I'm old and out of date, so ask.

Check with your state DMV for CDL-B requirements. My wife got hers in a van.

At the dentist. Unloaded a cavity. Loaded a filling at the same place. Great rate....except I was the payor of that rate, dentist was the payee. No dead head involved, but I've got a dead gum and lip.

Second day in Knoxville was better. Now headed for Wisconsin for Mon am. Trying to arrange a lttle golf in Chi-land on the way.

A recent survey rates In-and-Out burgers as #1. McD's was last. Now sitting in Knoxville. Seven nibbles, only one bite and I declined. I'll probably regret that while sitting here again tomorrow.

I won't forget what you said about KC, Don, but I'll add it to my list of slow places that sometimes become winners. Such as Florida, where I loaded on Friday at a good rate. Now at J in Blacksburg. Eternally optimistic about a nice run on Sunday.

Loaded OUT of KC? I'm impressed. Envious too, considering my prior luck there.
