I recognize...

    This Freightliner look any good?

    I was writing a reply about safety on the road, and the things you do to protect yourself from the creeps while on the road. It reminded me of a personal experience.

    Putting it in perspective...One billion

    The next time you hear a politician use the words "billion" casually, think about whether you want that politician spending your tax money.

    Be on the lookout!

    I was down in Little Rock awhile back . I was parked in a truck stop, reading and getting ready to catch some shuteye. I heard a tap on the driver´s door, and there was an Arkansa lot Lizard. I grabbed my camera and snapped a picture, so you boys will be on the alert, if you´re down that way.
