    East Missoula, Montana. "Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer, and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donder and... Hey, where's Blitzen?" According to the Associated Press report, an eagle may have bitten off more than it could chew and dropped the fawn when it was flying away with...

    Wanna See Something Kewl?

    You've never seen this before. Oh, it's been imaged in artist's renderings, but never like this. It's an actual photograph taken from another spacecraft of the Space Shuttle docked to the International Space Station. This view of shuttle Endeavour, taken by Italian astronaut Paulo Nespoli...

    Mallard Nests in Middle of Home Depot

    Funny little story about a smart little duck that chose the Home and Garden department of a Bangor, Maine Home Depot for her nest. Mama duck looking for home improvement? Also, while watching the video, it will dawn on you that Beaver Cleaver now works at Home Depot. :D

    Ah, the Police - To Protect and Serve

    It starts off as perhaps a "he said" - "she said" kind of thing, but then you realize "he said" ain't makin' it up. And he's got the video to prove it. Miami Beach police shot a man to death, a bazillion times or thereabouts, after a relatively short chase on Memorial Day. The driver of the...

    Palin's Paul Revere

    I wish you could make this stuff up, but ya can't, ya just can't. From the Magical Mystery: Is Paul Really Dead? Tour. Clearly, her pageant training has served her well. Much like one of the hopeful queens in that last question and answer round, where a question is asked and she doesn't know...

    TA Android App

    They've got one for the iPhone, too, but iDont. It's called TruckSmart for Android and it's nifty. At the link, take close notice of the screencap on the right (click it and it'll get bigger). It lists the parking spaces and number of showers, and how many are available. It's got a few of...

    Looking at the Weather...

    I noticed that down in Laredo today it hit 111 with a heat index of 119, and the Memorial Day weekend forecast is more of the same. It dawned on me that you would have to be just butt stoopid to take a load delivering down there on the Friday of the holiday weekend, especially if you don't have...

    Remember the Wunderland Trains? Here's the Airport

    YouTube - Knuffingen Airport Knuffingen Airport, based on the Hamburg Airport, opened on May 4th, 2011. Pretty kewl stuff. The video is pre-opening, but still impressive. The real airport in Hamburg covers almost 6 square kilometers. This model covers only 150 square meters. That’s a lot...

    You can read msgs on the Droid App, but....

    Interestingly, via the Web interface on the computer, or the Web browser on the Droid, you cannot read any messages, but when viewing with the EO Droid App you can read messages just fine. Looks like a vBSEO product file wasn't properly imported or something.

    F-Bomb Costs Chrysler Social Media Agency Its Job

    F-Bomb Costs Chrysler Social Media Agency Its Job - AppScout I do think it's ironic that the Motor City, the car capitol of the world, has the worst roads in the world. Baghdad has better roads than Detroit. Maybe that's why Detroiters can't drive.

    Cleveland Cavaliers

    Wow, a new single-season consecutive loss record. 24 straight. And losers of 34 of their last 35 games. Insanity is often defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Guard Daniel Gibson said, "We have to continue to play the way we're playing...

    Darkest Day In 372 Years

    Darkest Night, actually. Early tomorrow morning the Moon will pass through the shadow of the Earth, totally eclipsing the moon, same as it does at least twice a year like clockwork. Except this year it will happen on the Winter Solstice, for the first time since 1638. The last time that it...
