One that looks like the photo, not like a "copy of a military style assault rifle."

The hypocrisy of the 'pro life' position is the exceptions that are already made - killing another person is allowed in self defense, war, and capital punishment. So it becomes a question of which circumstances are acceptable. The arguments against abortion boil down to morality, and IMO...

Thanks, Humble, for the additional details - I didn't know anything but the story in the OP link, and that was bad enough. It's like getting a tattoo on your face and complaining that you can't get a job - if you appear to be stupid, people will respond as if you are. Getting outraged over it...

I know why you're angry, and I'm pretty angry too - mandating EOBRs without addressing the issues of detention and parking may put me out of business, thanks to the revised split sleeper rule, and I have submitted comments to FMCSA on the subject. Like thousands of others, and we are being...

Gene, if you do it, I'll personally nominate you to the Expediters Hall of Fame - promise. [And be a steady customer, too!] One of the best things about the book "10,000 Places To See Before You Die" is the number of restaurants in it like the Rendevous: little, hole in the wall places you'd...

In a different context, something Dreamer said [and I'm paraphrasing, but the gist is the same] applies: 'If all I say is ugly, why would anyone listen?' Why would Ann Ferro [or anyone in authority] listen to the kind of comments posted above? We sure can be our own worst enemy, sigh.

Your drivers appreciated it very much, Boss. :D It's funny, but I've been thinking for awhile that somebody needs to muscle Subway out of the truckstops with a decent BBQ place - we love BBQ, and don't even object to splashin out our own cash for it. If ATeam can open a fitness place, can't...

Yes, Swamp, that was the question: why make it look like a military assault rifle? Which wasn't my description, mind you, [because I don't pretend to have "ideals" when I don't] but the one written in the article. I did say the hunting rifle looks nothing like those I am familiar with [my...

Which is precisely what, in the end, they got. But they could have avoided the hassle had the weapon not been made to resemble a military assault rifle in a photograph displayed on facebook. Dad had every right to give his son a rifle for hunting, if he thought the kid was ready, but why make it...

Per the article cited, the rifle "resembles a military style assault weapon", and per my own experience with family members who kept rifles for hunting, that looks nothing like them. What it resembles is all the information anyone outside the family had to work with, and they did what they...

As LDB says, it was stupid of the family to post the photo of an 11 year old holding what appears to be an assault [not a typical hunting] rifle. Given the high profile school shootings in the news, what did they expect? Law enforcement monitors facebook too, and they love catching idiots that...

Video: West Virginia Rock Slide Closes Stretch of I-77 | CDLLife Not as bad as the closure of 40 a few years ago, but adds a bit of time to the trip.

As bad as it was in Oh today, it was much worse a couple days ago in Ms.

Whew! For a minute, I thought I was gonna see a different photo - one taken by a mischievous friend, while I was otherwise occupied. It was pretty crazy, lol, but I like the pink snails much better. ;)

My Dad kept a pair of German shorthaired pointers - beautiful dogs, but those ears are spaniel.

Looks like a Springer Spaniel to me.

Moot: you can save the memory in the Garmin for important stuff [like BBQ restaurants & Swedish pizza joints], the search bar works for finding the nearest Wallyworld. When I touch search on mine, it suggests WM & Meijers & Pilot, automatically, lol. :D

Don't remember where, but the whimsy stopped me in my tracks, lol.

At the Petro [mm 167] the truck is rocking & the wind is just howling! That reminds me - anyone else ever hear the wind behind parked trucks making a kind of musical sound? I used to hear it sometimes, walking the dog, and it was like whale songs, I think - odd, but cool. This wind isn't cool...
