I don't know how much is "deals" and how much is that people don't really want cars that get really good mileage. Most people want performance. They don't want to have to run through a ton of gears to get up to speed. I also don't know how battery stuff is being held back. Just think how much...

We ran one load to Alaska, it was in Nov. It paid VERY good money including all the DH. We had Thanksgiving "Dinner" in a "diner" in the Yukon. We were the only customers in the place. The owner sat and ate with us. We had caribou burgers and fries. Would love to do one more, a "summer" trip...

The only real remaining damage from the "oil boom" days is in the few areas that acid was spilled. IF we put lots of batteries into the system the chances of spills will increase. Then there is the lead smelting process, something the government is already messing with. What I am getting at is...

It's sad that we should even have to think like that, but, it is what it is.

I would agree, it was better to take the extra. I have just seen to many "things" over the years. Every variance increases the chance you could get bit. Nothing would surprise me these days. Remember the "Golden Rule" of expediting: If the customer makes a mistake, it's your fault, and you...

Taking that extra does wonders for customer service. My only concern would be liability. Taking responsibility for freight not agreed to could come back to bite you. Not as easy a call as one may think it would be.

A present there is still a lot of coal fired electricity plants in use and, unless forced out by regulation, will have to remain in operation for a long while yet. The plant in Trenton, Michigan, that is being shut down is not being converted into a gas fired plant. All those jobs will be lost...

The stats don't tell the entire story either. I would be willing to guess that a rather large percentage of the injuries and deaths, in coal mines and all other industries, are due to carelessness or negligence on the part of the workers themselves. Not every thing can be blamed on the need for...

Don't know, never watched MTV, or VH1.

Mining is safer now than it has ever been in this country. Just like trucking. That is true for many reasons, just as it is in trucking. We are not reducing demand for electricity, we are increasing it and reducing our ability to generate it. Coal will someday be replaced, right now, there is...

As I said, my grandfather was killed at Robena Mine, in PA, on Dec 6, 1962. He was the last of 36 found that were killed there. I am the oldest of the males of my generation and the first to have never worked in a coal mine. My dad was a miner, coal and salt, for most of his working life. My...

Al Roker, and the Weather Channel in general, are so popular that it is being dropped from Direct TV and many Charter cable areas, because of the complaints about the channel no longer doing real weather. It is being replaced by a channel known as Weather Nation. Weather Forecasts | Local...

"Mining is dangerous, and 'big coal' hasn't got a great track record at protecting miners from dying while doing their jobs, either." Mining is dangerous, I know, my grandfather was killed in a mine in 1962. Having said that, it is no where near as dangerous as driving a truck is. In fact, it...

Not even close. Just depends on what they are eating, like most wild game. The divers where we hunt are eating celery. They are good. Canvasbacks are the best, then red heads, blue bills. The buffle heads can be rough, as are the golden eye and long tail. (old squaw). Easy fixes. You can grind...

Have at it! You would be welcome.

Teal and wood duck are good that way, not divers. I have not hunted puddle ducks for several years. Only divers. All wild duck are way too easy to over cook.

They would love the help. It takes a LOT of hands to do what we do each year. You can make some good friends too. Don't worry if you don't hunt duck, many DU members are non-hunters. My wife does not hunt. She does the Monroe chapter web page and is the web master for the Michigan DU web page...

I have a GREAT sense of humor, I post in here don't I? NEVER micro wave a duck, they are too lean to cook that way. Breast them out, duck chilli is good. So is duck soup made with ground duck, or duck "pepper steak". Then you can marinate them (can't tell you about the marinade, it is VERY...

Want to do something? Join a local Ducks Unlimited chapter. To date DU has rehabilitated, conserved or rebuilt over 13 MILLION acres of, primarily wetlands, since it was formed in 1937. It is one of the premier conservation groups on the world. I know your local chapter would LOVE the help.

The dolphin do. Those two women look like they are malnourished. Too skinny.
