I recall that too, but if memory serves, the issue [at least in the one I read] wasn't nutrition. It was about a young child with serious and severe allergies to nuts that constituted a life threatening condition. Even another child's peanut butter breath could provoke an attack, so all children...

I do the same, but it still makes me scratch my head when someone is ready & willing to hand over their goods without a receipt, as it were. I've never seen it happen with anything of 'resale' value, lol, but still....:D

Says the person who thereby makes it personal, lol.

I believe the root cause of most of the problems we face today is unemployment. Capitalism and civilization require it, not to mention human dignity. When we can solve that problem, many others will disappear as well. Every oppressed group [from slaves to the much maligned Irish] has lifted...

Can't speak to his lectures, but in his writing, Asimov made the distinction between fiction and non, as he wrote on both sides of the fence: science and science fiction. The man was brilliant, no doubt about it.

Don't - you'll scramble your brain trying to make sense of it. I should have let the reference to Heinlein's book go, too, but I was surprised to see it cited. On second thought, it was probably the last time the OP actually read a book on an unfamiliar subject, lol. I wanted to ask, but didn't...

Every load where the shipper has zero paperwork to go with the freight.

Mine. The reason I'd like window clings is portability - lost a few favorite bumperstickers when switching trucks. :(

Then you will just love Jeff Campbell! About Us! I've been a fan for many years, and the thing I like best is how unusual it is to find a book that sells products, but also explains how to make your own, if you would rather. IOW, the book wasn't written to sell products, but to help solve...

RR: keeping fluids topped may not seem like much when you think of a gallon of coolant here & there, but over the course of a year all those fluids add up to a tax deduction, which is simpler for the owner of the vehicle to claim than the driver, IMO. LDB has a common sense policy towards the...

There's lots of areas to cause friction: DH, turning down loads, going home - an experienced fleet owner will have these issues settled in his own mind, so it's up to the driver to decide whether he can work within those parameters. But it's always smart to find out what the rules are before the...

Those are the reasons cited for objecting to truckstops - homeless people don't drive. The reasons are generally stated as residents' complaints about public intoxication & urination [but maybe if there were a bathroom, they'd use it], only we all know better: businesspeople don't want them...

Maybe you could ask Jack if transparent ones could work on the windshield, kinda like Slushbusters for bugs, lol. ;)

Window decals! Because not everyone's got an antenna, but we all have windows. Well, except those vans who troll the neighborhood with candy....:eek:

I wouldn't have pegged you as a Heinlein fan....

The law was passed because many more fortunate people don't want to see the less fortunate - especially the homeless. They tend to be unsightly and even smelly, and sometimes act unpredictably, you know [mentally ill]. To some extent, all that is true, but the people still need to eat, fer...

It's not too hard to figure out: some businesses with locations in the area that are open on weekends complained. Not publicly, of course, but they made their feelings known: it's bad for their business - their customers don't enjoy seeing it nearby. Whether the business owner agrees with the...

60/40 means that whoever pays for fuel gets the higher %, but what the FSC actually is depends on the carrier - there are some with fixed rates, some with variable. I personally find it morally reprehensible to withold any portion of the FSC paid from the person who pays for fuel, but there are...

How very generous. <snort>
