    To team or not to team?

    Seeing a ‘hire alert’ for teams out of Chicago for UPS got me to thinking. Yes it is early in the morn and I haven’t had my coffee yet but I think I make a coherent statement. It is a fact that load offers have been in many cases getting to the point that many will not take them at all...

    After all the hoopla with Chavez, I read this article tonight, "With cheap gas, Venezuelans buy big SUVs" and thought it is just right for us to point out that his country folk are not thinking like he wants them to think. Also I hope they all get the pollution that they claim we create with all...

    Public schools, shootings and knee jerk reaction

    I read this article from AP, “Bush: Gov't will work to secure schools†http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061007/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush I am not really of the mind set that the government should do a thing. The idea of moving 28,000 kids form public schools to private schools really bothers me and...

    Hey here is something to think about at the polls
