    Who's tab is it?

    Truck breaks down 100 miles from consignee at midnight. Freight can't be swapped with a truck backing up to yours as freight is too wide for a pallet jack. No reasonable place to dock swap until morning, and freight is due at 9am. Company wants you to have it towed to drop instead of the local...

    Amn... err... Immigration bill goes down in flames

    Immigration Reform?!? Bill failed once again to achieve cloture; recieving only 46 of the needed 60 to move on to an actual vote. In the following press conference, Harry Reid said to not look at the Democrats... that the Democrats were mostly united on the bill. Let's see. 15 Democrats...

    V is for Vendetta

    Just watched it for the first time yesterday, and dang it was awesome! Eerie in the fact that things look like they're headed that way... complacent ppl allow the government to control them, etc. I mentioned to my wife that when (yes, I said when) the US has a revolution, the revolutionaries...

    Tigers first no-hitter since '84

    Justin Verlander got a no-hitter tonight against the Brewers. If you get a chance, watch the highlights. Tigers defense saved his no-hitter in the 7th and 8th. Good to see em doing good! -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Tigers draft a fireball!

    Not usually into baseball, but news is news. :) Tigers drafted Frederick Porcello, a high school senior with an 8-0 record and a 0.50 ERA and a perfect game this year (throwing just 77 pitches in that game). His fastball is in the mid 90s, which makes me wonder... Are the Tigers going to use...

    Pistons blew it again!

    How does a team with a 2-0 lead lose 4 straight? Ask the Pistons. They let a lesser team dominate them again this year. Maybe the coach isn't that good. Glad I'm not huge on basketball, but it still grinds my gears. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Liberty to Bondage

    Alex Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh at the time of America's birth, wrote a warning to America in 1787. He observed that the average age of the world's greatest civilizations was about 200 years, during which they inevitably progressed through the following...

    Hot sauce anyone?

    Who likes hot sauce? I see hundred of kinds, yet don't want to spend $4-8 for something like that until I try it. Figured we could try to give hints to others looking for different spiciness. Not all of us have the same tastes, obviously. I like RedHot on almost anything, yet don't care for...

    Are you following the draft?

    One week from today is the unoffical start to the '07 season. I doubt any truckstops will have it on, so Sirius will be my connection. I might even kick back and have a brew... then again, maybe not. :) What are you doing for the draft? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Gotta admit something...

    I'm probably gonna catch flack for this, but here goes. Are there any other CB-DJs around here? I don't play the whole song, as it's just rude. LOL And I don't interupt anyone while they're talking. Just that sometimes it's dead and there's a good song on... either just good, or good to stir the...

    Back-up plan

    Some things have gotten me to thinkin (scary thought!). Anyone who's experienced, or even just knowing the circumstances about the Conway takeover last year knows anything can happen to their company. How many of us have done the research to know where they'll go if their company disappears over...

    Theismann out on MNF

    Theismann was replaced by Ron"Jaws"Jaworski on Monday Night Football. I do like Jaws better. He explains things well, backs up what he says, and is more personable than Joe. Actually, I miss Madden. Even with his corny rants, he had a great personality for MNF. However, I don't think they need...

    My Truck Is Stuck is one of the best books you can get them. I have a blast reading it to my daughter and still enjoy what happens by the end of the book. http://www.amazon.com/My-Truck-Stuck-Kevin-Lewis/dp/078680534X -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Aussie Rules Football

    Does anyone like to watch it? I did back in the 90s, but it's not on anymore that I know. Man! What a kickarse game! And those refs with the funny hats are cool too. :D -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Toot your horn!

    TOOT TOOT! Can't believe the luck I'm having this trip out. DH is ok, miles are good, not hunting freight, getting out of crazy areas. When so many are talking about sitting in TX, I snuck in and got one. Got out of Nebraska both times here. Predispatched out of NC. Other than the storm that hit...

    Free agency and possible trades...

    Since so many have a lot of cap space, it looks like good players will be traded for premium compensation. Also, a lot of good players are being cut. I could see Plummer in a Bears uni. Whataya think, JR? Maybe Darrel Jackson? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Congrats on the great win, Jay!!!

    That was a good game! Grossman reared his ugly arm, that's for sure. Now the media can finally shut up about Peyton not having his SB win. And the Bears... who dey? "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas
