and the peach cider is as good [but not as sweet] as Tupelo honey! I hit the Fl/Ga gift shop, and loaded up on goodies: Toe jam is tangerine, orange, & elderberry. Frog jam is fig, raspberry, orange, & ginger [my favorite, so far], and I sure hope they sell some online, because I'm not entirely...

Congrats, Maverick! Six months doesn't sound that long - to someone who's never been there, done that, lol. It's a loooong time to be tied to someone who drives you nuts though. The bad news is that now you don't get to blame the other guy when things go wrong - unless you go all Sybil, and...

Kristi: Richard is surely comforted by your presence, and I hope you are comforted by the presence of those who love you both, and by the countless prayers sent your way. Thank you for sharing it with us - it is a loss for us too, and we grieve along with you.

Serious accident on US 30 near Columbia City No details on the identity of the Panther driver, undoubtedly because the family hadn't been notified yet, but it is a loss for all of us as well.

There's a reason I think of tow trucks as the Happy Hookers!

It's very trusting of you to assume that because the NYPD has never enforced the law, they never will, but I'm not so sure. The day some number cruncher discovers the revenue generating possibilities of ticketing every truck that's over length, is the day the NYPD whips out the tape measures -...

Thank you. PS If you have a PayPal acct, it takes all of 10 seconds to make a difference - otherwise, it might take 2 or 3 minutes. Either way, please donate, because the family left behind needs to know that there are good people in the world, too.

What Highway Star said. :p

Donate them to: Salvation Army, Goodwill, any Domestic Violence Shelter, etc. They'll be appreciated by people who can use them.

Well, maybe there's hope for America yet - watch this: Kid Rock & Sean Penn's Bizarre Political PSA Wants You To Remember We're All Americans Warning: don't watch if you're offended by cursing! [But it's pretty funny] ;)

So which illustration did he use for the occasion? :p He's got so many perfect ones, it's hard to believe he HAS an ordinary face, lol.

C'mon, Moot, we're not all as fluent in movie dialogue as you are - if Turtle hadn't posted the link to Blazing Saddles, I wouldn't have remembered where the quote was from either, and I LOVE the movie, lol.

When dispatch called Friday just 3 hrs after delivery in Pompano Beach with a load from Miami to Clearwater, I thought it was just an anomaly, lol. I hated turning it down, but this is my first load to Fla in over a year - my granddaughters just don't understand why I seldom visit them, and I...

People didn't like the Irish enough to provide water fountains for them, much less entire bathrooms and barracks! Just the day before yesterday, I had lunch in an Irish pub, and it was great - wonder if my grands will enjoy African cuisine in their time, or whether the days of assimilation are...

Their race shouldn't matter, but to many people, it does. Immigrants from Mexico, south America, or Africa are as welcome as the Irish were in the days when most every factory and boarding house posted a sign: No Irish Need Apply. Still, LDB makes a valid point: why do we continue to welcome...

So, you're saying this isn't a great time to be sitting in Florida? :eek: Oh well, the weekend with my granddaughters & their parents was a nice one, anyhow. The chili cookoff in DeLand felt kind of weird, wearing shorts & all, but it was a good time and I'm really glad for the time with them.

The thing about calling some areas 'unsafe' is the implication that other areas are 'safe', which simply isn't true. We could follow every tip for securing our safety ever devised, and still be a victim of senseless violence. I hope the scum are found and incarcerated for the rest of their sorry...

Candidate called 'serial fraudulent voter' - UPI.com Maybe she'd been eavesdropping on the other party.....[the one that won't get fired, I bet.]

I don't think I could say "Thank you for choosing Load 1" without it sounding phony, or coerced [like when the Verizon rep apologizes for the inconvenience] but that might just be me. What I do say is this: every time a shipper asks which carrier I'm with, I say "Load 1- because they are the...

The very best leaders are those whose people will follow him/her through good times and bad with confidence born of faith that their loyalty isn't misplaced. John Elliot is one of those leaders, IMO. PS My real family either never got the memo about behaving at the holiday table or chose to...
