When I got my discharge I got a K-Bar fighting knife with an inscription carved in it. My platoon collected money and bought it for me behind my back. I told them I liked it but a going away get together with a chance to take pictures would have been good enough. So they threw me a going away...

I'm glad you all had a good time. That is the main thing I miss about being on the road. The fellowship. The money was nice, but what I really enjoyed was when I had the wife with me and me another driver or two from the same company were running together and they had their wives with them as...

I know when Katrina hit the Attorney General of Arkansas put pretty stiff penaltys on the gougers. Of course this is the same guy that recently told the payday loan people they were operating illegally. He threatened to shut them all down if they didn't get their act together. Also alot of that...

My least favorite was the same as my favorite. Washington,D.C. If I could go in and get out at night it was my favorite. If I had to hit it in the day I didn't like it. Always got a load out pretty quickly, but the traffic was bad.

Does anyone know of a natural remedy for a head cold? I can't take the over the counter stuff because it make me hallucinate. We discovered this a little over 2 years ago when I took some o.t.c. cold medicine and saw an Iranian submarine in the river behind my home. After a brief stay in the...

In my opinion if were something that a person got for nothing like say Food Stamps then I would classify it as an entitlement program. Although even with food stamps the ones who need them often times can't. Like my 74 year old grandmother with dementia. She is a widow and doesn't got much on...

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

This is a excerpt from a book I reading by Louis L'Amour titled "Last of the Breed". It says "The terrorist lives for terror, not for the change he tells himself he wants. He masks his desire to kill and destroy behind the curtain of a cause. It is destruction he wants, not creation." I...

I knew some guys that I thought were company men and they never said anything either way. Could have been my imiganition. I know one thing. I never trusted those types.

No offense, but that one little line could be your down fall, if you ask me. Some people "cherry pick"(only take best loads) while others take every load regardless of pay. I've heard of straight truck teams running for as little as 80 cents a mile just to keep moving and keep the acceptance...

I don't remember Regan being President, but what I have heard about Reganomics I wouldn't trust his top economic advisor any farther than I can throw a Peterbilt.

My macroeconomics professor, Dr.Grabber, may not know what he is talking about but he claims we are not in a recession. Of ocurse he is not a liberal either. I mean the guy only has a Phd in Economics so he may not know that much about it.

Is that about a 1986 model?

When I was with the Kitty and broke my ankle they saw there was a cargo van driver sitting about 25 miles away and he said they gave him a little bonus to come check on me. Maybe he was pulling my leg and saw my truck in the ER parking lot and decided to check it out. Either way my wife and I...

I have to agree with you there Cheri. I don't think I could have hauled Baby Girl around in an ice chest. When Baby Girl had her pups she had 10. She accidently laid on one. I think the pup might have pushed it's way under her for warmth. Well I think you know what happened. I hated burying that...

Get a carbon monixide detector from a home improvement store. I think they have models that double as smoke detectors. Could save your life.

It was my understanding that they were extending before the vote was ever taken in the House.

We have some of that in the Mississippi River Delta as well. People who say they can make more at home than they can working. Plus many on "disability" who spend the summers working on the rice farms for cash. On top of the disability they get food stamps and subsidies. I remember when I was a...

No offense to anyone here that lives in the Detroit area, but I never felt like I was missing out on anything when I saw it fading in my rear view mirrors. I know many saw the same thing of where I'm from. I guess it is all perspective.

I'll get an Arky one in the mail. I don't get around to much any more.
