    Carriers and privacy

    What does everyone think about a carrier that has no regard for your privacy, that wants increasing amounts of information? One of my companies is apparently building a database of other carriers, by name, that each unit runs for. I'm not so sure that's their business.

    Oak Park, IL to ban eating, drinking behind the wheel?

    The proposal is in an early stage. They say the next time the issue will be revisited would be early next year. Pretty soon, the only way anyone will be able to drive is with hands at 10 and 2, no talking even with passengers, and no changing the radio station unless you bring the car to a stop...

    FINALLY! A change in the weather

    Toledo, OH...an actual chill in the air, with the wind. What a relief after a brutal summer. I've been wondering when God was going to turn down the furnace.

    Shady parking in Waycross, GA

    There's a bank next to the Sonic on Memorial Drive, across from Advance Auto Parts. In their back parking lot, there are a couple large trees in the back corner that provide serious shade, dawn til dusk. Didn't check for wifi. There's a Walmart just down the street, so the place is pretty...

    Stopped at the Hook, everything the same

    Stopped by the Hook on 20 in Dallas. Still the same: several people (aside from expediters), apparently homeless, sleeping in their cars. Ugly.

    Things that need another notch

    Headlights. Even brighter brights, like a 3rd setting. My belt. Sometimes, anyway. Most importantly, air conditioning. Surely, someone can think of a way to make air conditioning a little more efficient, right? God, I hate summer...is it over yet?

    Sovereign idiots

    These idiots running around with the sovereign talk both amuse and irritate me. This is from an idiot that is describing ways to get around driver's licenses and vehicle registrations. Even though I agree that driving is a right, not a privilege, the part where he talks about writing a note...

    Avoiding deer

    A couple nights ago, traveling through the Hoosier, a bigass doe steps out in front of me. Through quick use of the brake and steering wheel, everybody got out in one piece, undamaged. Everybody says not to leave the lane of traffic to avoid wildlife, but when she stepped out into my lane and...

    Must...obey...gps

    Dateline Bellevue, WA: Three dingy chicks took the concept of following directions of one's GPS a little too far the other day when they followed its directions to make a U-turn onto a dock and into a lake. They were rescued by firemen who drove them to a hotel.

    Flooding in MN, ND

    There was a recent thread about flooding in the Dakotas and thereabouts. I can't find it. Going through the cheese, Minnesota, and into Fargo; what's the story on flooding up there?

    Abandon all hope, ye who enter Laredo

    High temps forecast to be close to 110°F for the next 10 days. Hope you have some serious AC. I think most engines will overheat, idling in that weather.

    Parking map up and running

    Some of you may have seen the thread in which I suggested that we start a custom google map listing parking spots nationwide. My particular interest in it is listing parking areas in which substantial shade can be found, but I'm sure other uses can be found, like safe parking in urban areas or...

    Gassing up...and up and up and up

    Anybody ever put 30.2 gallons in their 30 gallon tank? She was thirsty. I'd say my low fuel alarm doesn't come on soon enough.

    It's coming! It's coming!

    Is everybody excited about that awesome COLD FRONT coming into the midwest in a few days? I SURE AM! A cold front in summer is better than Christmas! Going to be in the 60s and 70s. I'd better not be in Laredo at the time.

    Mapping good parking

    Hey, why don't end create an editable google map where members can post good parking spots for CV and ST? That way, when you find yourself in BFE, you could just pull up google maps and see where EO members who have been there before have parked. You'd see the pin in the map and read the...
