    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    THIS is why I'm with Square One now :) It's time to lay down the law and ensure that everyone becomes compliant. That alone will separate a lot of the chaff from the wheat. Another thing we can do is to inform the authorities about the need to weigh cubes (six-wheel ones at least) so that we...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    My point exactly. A lady across the street did not think so but she eventually came around. :cool:

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    An African American family moved onto my block in 1974. They turned out to be the kind of neighbors anyone would be pleased and proud to have :) Dad was an HVAC professional :cool: ; the kids went on to colleges and good careers. This proves Dr. King's statement about "content of their...

    Hotelier Looking For Some Advice

    I'm unsavory; too much gristle. :p Seriously, though, we don't want the OP to get the wrong idea. Cargo van drivers usually just want the luxury of being able to stretch out in bed once in a while. Being able to just stumble into the bathroom naked at 3:30am to pee, instead of having to get...

    Not just no. Hell no :eek::confused: If Hooters saw that, they'd confiscate every shirt they've ever issued or sold :p

    OK, so I decide to get an oil change at a place in my new town. I find one that has my favorite oil, Mobil One. While I am there, they manage to drop a Camry off the other lift. Oh well, guess I'll find another shop to do the next service... :o

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    Truth! That's why I stayed in Eutaw, AL the other week instead of Tuscaloosa. I'm not a 'Tide fan, so I had no compelling reason to pay what might have been twice the rate.

    April "Rabbit rabbit rabbit"

    OK, time to fine-tune the censor filter again. When it parses a mild expletive out of the middle of an otherwise innocuous word, it's set too tight. Or, OTOH, you could drop the censoring entirely. Are we not grownups here?

    April "Rabbit rabbit rabbit"

    At home for a few days. Had to DH 850 miles from Atlanta to get here. See y'all next week.

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Rioting is not the same as protesting. Think back to Bloody Sunday (Selma, 3/9/65): the African Americans marching across the bridge were protesting. The police rioted.

    How tough is your job again,,,stand by.......

    I used to think male figure skaters were (insert anti-gay word here), until I realized that I can't even ice skate, let alone hold a grown woman in the air while doing so...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    No. He didn't. He needed to be arrested, perhaps, but something went terribly wrong. Since none of us were there, we need to wait and see how the investigation shakes out. It could be police brutality, or it could be just a horrible but unavoidable circumstance. Something needs to change, and...

    April "Rabbit rabbit rabbit"

    When I sit, I take my phone to places it shouldn't go. That is worse than eating good chicken, and it's something I need to change.

    Speed Limits and fuel economy

    Same here, +/- 2 mph. Might be nice if I could haul azz, but azz is cheap freight. When I DH I usually keep to 60.

    Bring back the Beatles and we'll consider it... Maybe.

    Why I still do this...

    The DH back sucks, but the West rules :D I refer to trips West as "tumbleweed therapy" and I'm due for some soon :)
