Assuming that applies to the misuse of words also: people who misspell words are not 'illiterate', as you charged in another post. If they were illiterate, they couldn't post at all. Just sayin....:D

Well, at least I'm not here Twin Cities weather: Snowstorm triggers delays, snow emergencies - TwinCities.com But it's not wonderful where I am, either: truck overheats @ idle [and on really big hills - anyone see me sitting on the shoulder of Monteagle yesterday, cooling off?] and the QC...

OVM is correct: the 'black box' has been on vehicles for many years. I recall a case where a driver killed 2 little old ladies backing out of a driveway: speed limit [on the street was 25, teenager admitted to going "about 65". His pickup was totalled, the insurance company wrote him a check for...

What happened to Jayson also happened to me, except it wasn't chest pain, but abdominal, and I refused to go to the emergency room for 5 days [because I'd never been sick like that - I just don't get sick like that, right?:rolleyes:] and I got a stent, too, in one kidney. Only it didn't save the...

Too funny: jump on Jayson for misspelling a medical term, [and if I can ignore it, so can you!] but respond to another comment without pointing out that the correct term would be 'hypercritical', not 'hypocritical'. People who live in glass houses should be very careful about throwing...

My favorite line: But it was also the inability to see the total costs—the engineers in the U.S. and factory managers in China who can’t talk to each other; the management hours and money flying to Asia to find out why the quality they wanted wasn’t being delivered. The cost of all that is...

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader Elmo [LM in the middle of EO, if you didn't know that] It's an affectionate kind of a nickname But not as amusing as Larry the Bat! We hope it was a grand one With cake, ice cream, loved ones, and all The things that make birthdays wonderful Down there in...

This one's been my very favorite for years: White Christmas Cartoon Song - YouTube It makes me smile every time. :D

It's a classic paradox: we dislike regulation and want less of it, but keep finding ways that more of it is needed, sigh.

I commented in the 'Slow van freight' thread, but you're right: this is excellent news! And not just for expediters, either: when American manufacturers understand that the people who actually make the products just might have some valuable input into the process, everyone benefits, from the...

What an amazing article [The Insourcing Boom]! I'm surprised I missed it, the Atlantic being a favorite read - thanks for linking it. It's very encouraging to see that American manufacturers are finally getting their heads in the right place. ;)

One more thing: among all the professional accolades, what doesn't come across is the best thing about the Caffees: they play as hard as they work, and are a blast to hang out with. If you get a chance to meet them, grab it - you'll be glad you did.

During the years I worked in a hospital, I usually arrived early enough to snag a 'good' spot, and sat in the car having a smoke for 10-15 min before going inside. I noticed one person who kept arriving last minute, parking in a handicap spot, and jumping out of the car to dash inside, so I...

Because he was never forced to do so, by his own greed, as the other managers have been. He did it the right way, and his workers recognize [and appreciate] that. Load One's John Elliot inspires the same respect and loyalty, and THAT'S how to get rid of unions, lol.

In a time even before Mayberry, the barber WAS the doctor. :eek:

Bob & Linder: you are honored, yes - and no one deserves it more. Both of you have worked very hard to better not just yourselves, but the entire industry, and we are quite proud of your accomplishments. [I remember when Linder was scared to speak to a roomful of strangers, lol] Job well done. ;)

Wow - have been listening to 'Winter of the World' [the 2nd of the Century trilogy, by Ken Follet] and just got to Dec, 1942 last night - perfect timing. I wonder if Americans are less opposed to war because we have actually seen so little of its' horrors? :confused:

Bill seems to have confused expedite with expedition....

Be careful what you wish for: in CSA world, a warning is the same as an actual citation - except you have no chance of getting it dismissed or pleaded down to a lesser violation.

Give im a break, he's a slow reader, ok? :rolleyes: I'm just glad it got shut down before Humble psychoanalyzed AMongerel's hatred of abortion - that would have been truly ugly.
