The photo looks like Montana or Wyoming, and the N-S interstates could be around Wytheville, Va, where 81N & 77S run together for 9 miles. :)

You won't find 'the streets game' to be as easy as the Pyramid in Memphis, cause I made it up - just something to stay alert, you know: text msg street names to other drivers, see who knows where it is. :)

It's a really lovely photo, Doug, and I'm sure I've seen it - it just isn't unique enough to jog a specific location from my brain. I like playing a variation of the "Where am I?" game, using streets instead. (Ie: Kelly Elliot.....)

Rangell: flooding the forums isn't the problem - splitting a subject into several different threads is, because it gets very confusing when the replies are split as well. I have no doubt that Juliewray's intention was to help, but that kind of help is just out of bounds.

Whatever the OP says, (and he can't be "in agreeance", because the word doesn't exist - if you want to be an editor, you need to do better yourself...) it is wrong to change someone else's words. Period.

Rangell: sorry, but in my reply, I said it is a retread of a currently active thread - I thought that was answering your question. If you need more info, see the thread started by Broompilot, ok? Maybe you don't mind if someone takes the liberty to edit your words, but I believe most folks...

Whether the post is a retread of a currently active thread or not, (it is), "taking the liberty" to make it "more readable" is going beyond the bounds of what's acceptable, IMO. I certainly sympathize with the impulse, but we cannot change other folks' posts, unless requested to do so by the...

As humans have long reigned at the top of the food chain, looks like those "mixed up" emotions aren't such a liability, IMO. Anyone who's ever owned a pet can tell you that animals have empathy, and I've seen the movie - and still don't think either one of your siglines is true. (If you need...

Flattop: even someone who hasn't been around long enough to know Moot's sense of humor (or know that he drives a van himself) could see that post was a joke, I'd think. BTW: about your sigline, about the birds? How do you know that birds (or any wild things, for that matter) don't feel sorry...

I used to play Cds, (even danced in the seat, sometimes, to get the circulation going), until I discovered Audible.com. (Thanks to Linder & Terry:)) Now, I download audiobooks to CD, soon to be to Garmin. (I know Linder uses an iPod, but I don't have one), and the hours just zoom by! I've...

They are 2 different animals: hotshots are more casual, and can be done 'under the radar' (no authority to haul) in a 4 wheeler, or a pickup with a trailer. Hotshots are frequent in the oil industry, (repair parts to the drilling rigs, for example), and are found mainly in the southern states, I...

Thanks, Joe, for the heads up - I'd hate to seem disrespectful through ignorance.

Be interesting to hear an answer....the driver can be cited for any unsafe behavior witnessed (weaving, erratic speeds), but without being subject to HOS, how can he violate them? And what could the carrier possibly be cited for? The number of hours driven has little bearing on how 'tired' a...

Mr Goodtude was exactly right, when he said "EO junkie - and proud of it!" But let's try to keep the cat in the bag, while we still get paid to do it, ok? :D

Excellent posts, all! Something the Col said in another thread made me realize that my fondest memories are of challenges overcome, strangely. The time I had to wire the generator muffler up, at the side of the road, with traffic whipping by at 75....the time I needed to hotwire the truck, in...

"Put them all in the same bowel and what do you get?" Marvin K Wagner - what else?:p:p:p Another classic, Moot - thanks for making me laugh. The world is insane - but it's darned funny, sometimes.:D

But you make a great case for the behavioral problems so prevalent today. You know, when the kids were riding in the back and looking over the seat at the speedo and one of them says, "Dad, the sign says 65mph, but you are driving at 75mph." And then comes the justification, "When son, they...

If the men of influence in "this great country" in the mid 1700's had been pompous, hypocritical, sanctimonious bullies, we'd still be compelled to sing "God Save The Queen" (and I can barely SAY that with a straight face!) but to our everlasting good fortune, they were not - they were REBELS...

Maybe if the Col is all done panning for gold & buzzing people's bushes, he'll do something productive, and publish a companion book: "The Next Shade Tree", eh? :D

Because I made up my mind in 2000 to find a 'job' that I love, and this is it. It's even better when I can steal not just a load, but a parking space too, from a pest in a van, lol. :D:D:D
