The low pressure system is coming up from Indiana. We are experiencing the "wrap around" winds off the front side of the low as it passes south of us. That gives us an east wind. It kinda works like a NorEaster off the coast.

Good luck. You are going to need it. It is an ice skating rink out in front of my house right now. Wrecks are the rule.

It has changed over to freezing rain. It is NASTY out there right now.

Odd wind here today. It is a "snow" wind, out of the East. Our normal wind is South West. It is light but East winds tend to increase snow amounts around here. This storm is coming up from south and west of us.

Be extra careful today and tomorrow if you are coming into Michigan. The weather is dicey. It is snowing now, is going to switch over to freezing rain later then snow some more tomorrow. I don't know about the interstates right now but secondary roads are very slick.

Well, let's see, I was both covered AND restricted by the Hatch Act when I was with the DOD. I don't remember about the State when I was in PA but I THINK I had the same Hatch restrictions. SO, you have NO PROBLEM with state employees taking YOUR money, calling in sick, and YOU paying them to...

It might have been peaceful but it should be illegal. Public employees should NOT be in unions, should be FIRED for calling in sick and then showing up to protest their wages. That is fraud. Public employees should only be paid what the public can afford to pay. Most people in the private sector...

LOL!!! Well Phil, wise is nothing that I ever been accused of! :p You are correct. We should all be exploring the business all of the time. It is only smart.

That is a bad thing. So much for interstate commerce laws. If FedEx decides to put us out of business that way, so be it. I am TIRED of all of it. $5000, or more, on a truck that will already have close to 700,000 miles is not a wise choice. At least, not in my book. I guess that it is time for...

ANYONE who runs away rather than fighting for their beliefs is a coward and shows a distinct lack of character. If I was in the district where one of these "bums" who ran was elected I would be doing EVERYTHING legal that I could to unseat them. I still say they should be arrested.

Yep, that they should. If those Senators accept pay or use those credit cards while they are throwing their tantrum they should be arrested for theft when they reenter the state.

We had no experience when we started. I had to take a FedEx road test, my wife did not. Some body has to hire newbies or there would never be any new drivers. I road with owners for several months before I went out on my own.

Those State senators who ran away to avoid that vote should NOT be paid for the time that they are not working. No work, no pay. ANY teacher, or any other public employee, who called in sick and went to protest the bill should be fired. I also believe that NO public employee should...

We had 5 days of reefer work without pay last year. Twice we were under load when roads were closed. The reefer still ran, fuel was burned, there is no additional pay to cover that. I think the disaster stuff is payed for differently. We are NOT running any more of those loads unless we can...

We shall see. We too have had several loads that paid over $5000. I also know that I could give up all CA work and it would make little, if any, difference to my bottom line. I am not sure that a $5000 investment on a truck that is 50% used up is worth it for the 2 or 3 reefer loads in CA...

Does the U.S. Federal Government, under the U.S. Constitution have ANY legal authority to even be involved in education? I don't think so. I have NO idea about Canada. I have NO problem with kids learning a new language. I have MULTIPLE problems if the Federal or State government makes the...

My kids were in public school and I FOUGHT those schools the entire time they were there. Thanks to my lousy pay when working for the feds I could not afford private school or they would have been in one. I taught them the important lessons in life which often were contradicted by the schools...

Did he buy this one? I though he was asking advice. Hope I did not screw up. I was not out to tick anyone off.

The ONLY reason we are having problems in this war, (it is not separate wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) is the Congress and the President won't let us fight it! Just as the congress would not let us finish off North Viet Nam. I would be willing to pull out for no other reason than they rules of...

I don't believe that the federal government should be issuing education grants. I don't believe that they should have ANY say in curriculum. I don't care if it is French, German, martian or algebra. They have NO business in education. Neither does the state. Education should be LOCAL. A students...
