Just a wee bit claustrophobic, so I'm looking for the right mirror/leak Kurt Vonnegut wrote about instead. Taking my navigational skills [and my screwy GPS] into account, I'm sure I'll find it, too. :o You need to find your way to Wilmington, Ohio, next July, cause we couldn't possibly suck...

The successful veteran fleet owners here [DaveKC & Bruno come to mind] have a lot of valuable advice. One other thing, though, besides having enough money in reserve and choosing the best drivers, is having the knowledge that experience brings: especially when it comes to repairs. Choosing the...

I've been a regular patron of the local library my entire adult life, without ever once having seen anything I'd consider pornographic, until I picked up the book American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis. The savage and sadistic violence described was much worse, IMO, than any depiction of sex, and...

'Corporations are people', and now, organizations have Constitutional rights?! I don't think soooo......

I have a bumpersticker that says "Happiness is having a large & loving family - in another state!" [I think it's a Ben Franklin quote, and he'd know, having spent much of his life in France, minus his wife, lol] I didn't put it on the truck, though, cause my family would see it, and probly tell...

If you click on the link in the OP, there is an update, with a response from the school. It was indeed part of a lesson comparing the propaganda tactics of both communists and capitalists during the Cold War. Kind of funny that they only showed the one, though, innit? But hey, it worked -...

That's like someone snapping a photo of me reading Mao's Little Red Book, and claiming it proves that I am a Communist. Except it doesn't. It proves only that I read the book, not what I thought about it. I am certain that the illustration was used as an example of the sort of propaganda...

The biggest problem is just defining what constitutes 'porn', because some libraries have pulled Mark Twain [for the word '******'], Harry Potter [witchcraft & magic], and many mainstream books that some folks object to allowing children to read. Filters aren't much of a solution, as the one...

Stoners, huh? Well, now us ex Cons [former ConWay Now O/Os] won't feel like the only reprobates in the group, lol. When my younger daughter had some stones last year, I learned that they are not all the same, and that's why dietary advice needs to be tailored to suit the composition of the stones.

I think it looks more like the oldER way, before they changed the color scheme to more red. And everyone whined about it, cause we don't like change! And then we got used to it, lol.

I'm guessing he did, as we haven't heard from him since you advised him to hang the celery [because "skinny chicks dig creativity - and celery sticks."] He could at least have said thanks, right? Someday, when someone puts together a Best of EO Threads thingie, you know that'll be in there, lol. :D

I've had an EO sticker on the truck for years, starting with the one that had a very funny slogan ['We go, so you don't have to' I think] and it has never caused anyone to approach me. Not even once. Maybe because my name is on the truck door, and they don't wanna talk to me, lol. ;) Or maybe...

Aaah, I think Bruno was asking about how the workload is going, but since you seem to be looking for love [or something like it], try telling the girls about the machete in the pants. I guarantee it's one 'icebreaker' they haven't heard before, and it might be a winner, lol. :D
