Wow, Jeanie - haven't seen your truck after dark for awhile, it looks terrific! You know I miss having purple neon lights more than anything. Benny looks very happy too, he is just a sweetheart. :D

I use the plastic bags [Meijer are much better quality, right?] but I save and reuse them as trash bags too. If the bagless thing spreads, I could get used to tucking a couple in my pocket before going into the store. Now I'm envisioning customers with pockets stuffed, looking like shoplifters...

If the officials can find a way to impose stiff prison sentences that don't cost the taxpayers to support the criminals, ok then. ;)

I'm not arguing the verdict, because it's what I expected [the prosecution did not prove Zimmerman guilty] and it's legally correct, but: how can anyone determine Zimmerman's state of mind at the moment he pulled the weapon? The only way to decide is to evaluate his credibility, because his...

Martin's parents had very good reason not to trust the Sanford PD to investigate thoroughly: a case in which a homeless black man was assaulted by the son of a Sanford PD [I think it was a Captain, not 100% sure] and no charges were filed, until someone provided a cellphone video that clearly...

The jury really had no choice, because the prosecution didn't [or couldn't] prove that the sole witness [that would be the defendant] was a liar. I wonder if their verdict would have been different if they knew that Zimmerman's wife is going on trial next, after he allowed [if not encouraged]...

In response to the questions asked, [which reputable carriers will hire someone with a recent felony assault conviction, & which carriers to avoid], my response is: none, and any carrier that would hire you. Drivers with a hair trigger temper [as evidenced by your replies to Paullud & Turtle]...

Pretty "decent" jobs? You did not just say that! Coal miners have one of the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs there are, both in terms of imminent hazards [like the miners who died because the corporation cut corners on safety equipment - you know, the family that practically owns W Va?] but also...

Ditto for the Awesome, and Sprayway for the glass.

Thank you, Professor Turtle. ;) I've never liked Subway [besides the atrocious name, if I want a sammich I can do better myself, or got to Maynard's for a Cuban, because they are delicious] Even before I noticed the "Eat healthy!" stuff is mostly processed lunchmeat, cheese, and sauces. The only...

I didn't need Snopes to debunk the bunk about leg cramps [the one part I didn't have any real knowledge of], because I get leg cramps whenever I drive a lot without benefit of cruise control. Major delays in construction and/or rush hour cause leg cramps, lol. I don't like water, so I compromise...

A couple years ago, my fleet owner told me that two of his S/Ts had been given violations for not having the conspicuity tape: one for the outside top corners of back doors, the other for the bar from which the mudflaps hang. I believe both are required for T/Ts, [the mudflap one to make them...

Because the DOT doesn't care if you can't find a parking spot when it's time to stop, you need to be creative sometimes. WalMart & similiar big box stores [Lowe's, Home Depot], and empty "For Sale" industrial properties are often good for one night. I'm sitting [in the shade!] in one of the...

When you know where you are, it's amusing: again today, my Garmin says "off road" when I'm on Inkster, near Load 1. Mine also likes to send me off in the wrong direction when I leave the parking lot, so I tap the bar that shows the next few turns to see if it is being retarded.

When you have to resort to sarcasm, it's time to give it up, lol. G'night, Xiggi. ;)

Either way, principles don't pay the bills, but cheap freight will, if they can just get enough of it. People generally want to work, earn their own way, pay their own bills - that's the fundamental nature of most people that the CRs pretend doesn't exist.

It's time to quit bashing Bush already. :D

P: the people who run [or work] cheap do it because they can't afford to hold out for the big picture - they need to eat today. And there's just waaaay too many of those people in the US today.
