RE: political correctness tsars, Are you one of th TallCall knows I love him, even when we don't agree, lol. People think I'm politically correct sometimes, & are pretty surprised to find that when my teenage daughter wears her favorite shirts, the ones that say "Remington kids shoot straight"...

I just make it a practice to not ever drink when I'm on the road, except those rare occasions when I go to a concert, then I get a room, & taxi. I didn't know if it's true, but I wouldn't risk it - it's not worth losing your license over! Thanks for the info, it's good to know. But I've gotta...

The mention of a party in the parking lot at the Expo reminds me of something I've heard several times, but have never been able to verify as truth: can a driver be charged with DUI merely for climbing inside his truck, intending to sleep, after drinking? It would seem that it can't be true...

And I'd tie it tight 'round the neck, until you write "I will remember the difference between goodnatured teasing & meanspirited crapola" 500 times, and that would end the subject.

Lord knows I'm not a senior, & those cashiers who ask if I get the discount are just infants, but I have been hoping for a delivery somewhere in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, so maybe I could pop in to visit my daughter, but have never gone anywhere near there, in 18 months, so far. And of...

I just read a great book, "Made in America", that says the first roads were permitted to have tree stumps left in, up to 15", because the technology to remove them didn't exist, but 75 feels like we haven't made all that much progress since, lol.

I like to see the signs that say " Use both lanes to merge point" because it takes all the fun out of it for those jerks who love driving past everyone! Without the sign, they always bully thier way in at the front of the line x(

Ol JoeBob is gettin out of control - I wish I hadn't sent him that photo, when he asked for one of me, but how was I supposed to know he wouldn't recognize Sophia Loren?! :+ :P ;)

last week, I was driving from Waterloo to Davenport, no rush, when I saw everyone moving into the left lane - clearly an accident ahead, as you could see the police flashers. So I move over, & crawl forward, stopping to let in a big rig. When we were almost to the accident site, one of those...

Update on the Scientology show: Comedy Central is rebroadcating it next Wednesday, according to today's newspaper.

The first entry is clearly a winner, but I kind of like the second one! the whole point of the contest is to write as badly as possible, and bad writing doesn't make for immortal quotes, like Dirty Harry's :P PS I always thought Snoopy should have won - he didn't have enough imagination to...

But of course Carol's revenge would be better - she knows where the weak spots are! PS Redy, if I were in your paper bag, I'd be looking for one lined in some really warm fur, about now...

Stan Murch is a driver to the core - besides listening to engines for fun, he has absolutely no conversation that doesn't involve which of the 37 ways to get from here to there in New York is better than the other 36 ways - so it's educational, as well as hilarious. ;)

I bet he was following the customer's directions, exactly...ROFL!!

I don't have the patience to wait out the commercials - by the time they're halfway through, I forget what I was watching, or why I wanted to, lol. I watch DVDs, play CDs, and try to avoid as much commercial clutter as possible - it keeps my blood pressure nice & low. ;) I'll probably get XM or...

As the Holiday Inn is an integral part of the Roberts Center, & we'll be there for 2 days - why wouldn't you be able to park overnight?

If you haven't sent that letter yet, maybe it would be wise to go to OOIDA first, so they can advise on the most effective wording - just my 2 cents...

RE: PANTHER2 EXPLOSION IN NORMAL ILL .......... W I've never been to that truck stop, wonder if thats normal, there? :+ :P

Thanks, Terry - things like that remind me that some of humanity really is exceptionally good. To offer all that for free, is a wondrous thing - like taking the public library with you, wherever you go! And you don't even have to worry about the librarian shushing you, if you laugh out loud...

Dieselphreak: There is beaucoup parking, that shouldn't be a problem. For anyone who could use it, my cargo van will be available for sleeping, Friday & Sat nights. I've already offered the shower in my room to a few people, but if the Holiday Inn has no problem with 85 people taking a shower in...
