    Legends Of The Fall

    Beautiful landscapes and scenery. Hunting and fishing in the American West. A love triangle (or quadrangle) underscores the entire plot. Life interrupted by war. War interrupted by life. Most interesting to me was the fanatical bond of family loyalty portrayed by patriarch Anthony Hopkins...

    The Passion Of The Christ

    After watching this film, I felt the most gut wrenching emotions a movie had ever inflicted. Sat in silence with a sold-out audience for what seemed like three hours of grizzle, gore, blood, guts, and torment. Not a single word in English. None were needed. Truly a masterpiece for director...

    Obama For Sale in Wal Mart

    Today as I was shopping in Wal Mart, I was stunned to see huge posters of Barack Obama for sale. Right there along sde of Hannah Montana and Britney Spears on the poster rack. This raises all kinds of issues for me: 1) it is beneath the dignity of being POTUS to allow commercialization of his...

    I have a dream

    I have a dream my four little trucks will one day operate in a nation where they will not be judged by their color or size, but by the content of their cargo, the quality of their contract and their rate per mile. God has allowed me to go to the mountaintop. And I've looked over and I've seen...

    Boycott the inauguration

    I will not be watching the leftist takeover of our country on Tuesday. No television that day, except maybe the Weather Channel. There is no joy in Muddville. Go outside and play with the kids, build a snowman, read a book, organize the sock drawer.... anyone with me?

    anybody notice Michelle Obama is missing in action?

    Whatever became of Michelle Obama? Has she been silenced until Election Day has passed? Quite the rabble-rouser wasn't she... an angry, bitter woman hellbent on denouncing the United States and her citizens. Oh well, we will soon reap the whirlwind of her wrath towards white Americans. Throw...

    Is America broke? Broken? Or breaking?

    Several months ago I suggested America was going into uncharted waters with risky government schemes and unscrupulous corporate shenanigans. We can't afford a trillion dollar war and a trillion dollar bailout for Wall Street and a bailout for the Big 3 automakers and endless other bailouts...

    Need advice on log books

    I switched over to straight truck driving last week and need some pointers on logging HOS. Having driven an expediter van for several years, logging was not a concern. Now it is. I never signed on with a T/T company so I have never had a trainer who would cover this topic. Is there a web...

    Obama's acceptance speech

    You decide: 1) much sound and fury signifying nothing. 2) thou does protest too much. 3) all hat and no cattle. 4) the Second Coming 5) nice choreography 6) would make Josef Goebbels proud...

    Political Dynasties In America

    Hopefully, the Clinton dynasty is over as Hillary came up just short of securing her party's nomination. We gotta be careful about allowing political power to become concentrated in the hands of just a few privileged families. The United States must not follow Great Britain where the...

    I need input on how many loaded miles Sprinter teams and/or van teams are currently getting on a weekly basis. I am considering a move to teaming and have no real clue to their earning potential. After several years of solo operations in a van, the writing on the wall is becoming clear. I...

    When will economy turnaround?

    I try watching the news, but it's so depressing. To hear the mainstream media tell it, this economy is held together by chicken wire and duct tape. I can't tell if we're at the beginning, middle or end of this thing. All the doom and gloom is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we don't...

    Who's the Fairest of Them All

    Driving overnight thru the Arizona desert can lead a man's thoughts to amazing examples of beauty. Those of us of a certain vintage will remember feminine beauties of the 1970's quite well. As a teenager coming of age in the 70's, I saw an endless parade of female celebrities and entertainers...
