From the other side of the aisle, I can't see any reputable driver objecting to a test drive - it's what I'd do, if I were the owner, and it's what I'm doing now, as the driver. Not doing it is how one ends up with drivers who are unqualified, (some who don't even know what all the important...

Call me cynical, but I think polls "prove" what the pollsters want it to, or they just disappear.

You gotta love Bill Cosby, too - I remember that one from one of his comedy albums. (Albums are what us old folks listened to, before CDs, cassette tapes, or even 8 tracks, lol):P

Flatbedin - you are being taken advantage of, bigtime! Codrivers should be splitting everything 50-50, or as close to it as possible. Just because you're the owner, doesn't mean you should pay for the groceries, or the hotel - it's a business relationship, not a date, for cryin out loud! If...

Falconlady, thanks for the reminder that some people really ARE what they claim to be, and are honest, too - in your shoes, I'd have done exactly as you did. Leo, you make a good point, one needs to be cautious about personal info - glad I have a PO Box for mail.

Well, that's what happens when you let her read the newpapers & watch tv, I guess...:P

Greg, what the heck does your cat want to say to Fidel Castro?!:P

Mike, and Arlene, and anyone else who photographs cool and pretty things: thanks! Please keep it up - on a day like today, when it's raining in Oregon, (surprise! huh?) it sure is welcome. :)

They are lilacs, no matter what color the blossoms. Several years ago, I mail ordered a new variety of lilac, called "Sensation". Every tiny floret was deep purple, edged in crisp white - beautiful, and it smelled lovely, too! Plant breeders keep coming up with cool new stuff like that, so...

As much as I like tooting the air horn for kids who make the motion requesting it, I recently got to experience the other side of the coin, and I was NOT amused: driving a fourwheeler on the highway, my teenager & her friend got a passing truck to blast the airhorn, and the unexpected blast...

"Cheri" because it's my name, and 1122 because it's handy for a lefty, and easy to remember, too. ;)

What a cool story! And I'm sure glad that the scar I have on one leg is on my ankle, and not my knee, cause I'm wearing shorts right now. :P But I'll sure be noticing other people's knees, now...;)

In the recent shooting in Va, the perpetrator had been sentenced two years earlier to 'seek mental help', as he was judged to be a danger to others. However, in Va, the judge has no authority to enforce his own orders, and the mental health officials are all passing the buck - it appears that...

I think it's a safe bet that what you can expect is to be required to fork over some cash - how much, I have no idea. Should you fight it? Entirely your decision, but I believe I would, armed with photos of the sign that says "No parking", and an honest explanation. That's me - I get real upset...

On the subject of Broom's inadvertent typos, he included one on the thread about truckstops in Ct that I am indebted to him for, even as I'm still chuckling over it: his mention of 'Dunkin Dognuts' has turned me off the high fat treats, lol - just can't get past the image...I may never eat...

Anytime you're told your blood pressure is high, or more than a little different than what your norm is, get a second opinion - you'd be surprised at how differently two people can 'hear' the same thing! OVM, sounds like a lovely place, congratulations on achieving The American Dream, enjoy! :)

In a cargo van, backhauls are rare - I had two in 9 months at Panther, and one of those was a preplanned, discount load from NYC to Ohio. The other, from Laredo to NC, just barely paid for the fuel, but I took it - the extremely hot sun had fried my brain, and I just wanted out of there, lol. ;)...

India, I saw that sign - and it reminded me of the "Quiet - Hospital Zone" signs you almost never see anymore.

Hey KG: any of us who believes your last comment doesn't apply to us all, is either a liar, or delusional, lol - we've all been there, done that...;)

Will we have to change the motto for good citizenship in parks: "Take only pictures, leave only footprints"? :o
