    If you zoom in a notch you'll see the southbound detour on 297 isn't quite so bad.

    I75 southbound closed ky

    The initial estimate of "Monday afternoon" was quickly revised to "several weeks," and then to the really odd prediction of "4:30 p.m. March 21." Now it's a much more realistic "until further notice." :D http://TN State Government News/ Saturday, February 27, 2016 | 6:04pm

    Hilary winning by a landslide in South Carolina is as shocking as Bernie winning by a landslide in New Hampshire.

    Antonia Scalia dies

    I certainly don't remember it as if I was there, or with the details of the mind of an adult, but his assassination and funeral had a great impact on me as a child. Nevertheless, while Kennedy's was a State funeral, Scalia's funeral was not. In the entire history of the United States there...

    new guy on the block.

    Ever go to a pickup or delivery and you're having trouble finding the place, then just as you pass the entrance for it you're like, "Whoops, there it is Just passed it"? Or you get there and there's a sign at the entrance that says "Trucks Enter from Someother St."? That's why I'm not in a...

    new guy on the block.

    Being out on the road, at least for the weak, can not only make you negative and paranoid, but it can also cause you to have an inability to post on-topic and instead have an insatiable need to disrupt the forums with off-topic posts about me. Your complaint about me and "the regulars" has been...

    The Trump Card...

    Opinion piece full of agenda red flags (which invariable mean the exact opposite of what is said) Pretty extraordinary! Simply astonishing! Even more incredible! This is serious stuff! You will find the same types of phrasing in Blogs about Obama being born in Kenya, Bush being the...

    What I won't get into is the fact that if they did their job at the border in the first place they wouldn't need the interior checkpoints at all. But I don't mind the "Are you a US citizen?", or "Is anyone else with you?", and "Where are you headed?" questions. They are not intrusive or...

    The Trump Card...

    Yeah, when the interest rates rise back up to normalcy, it has a direct effect on the interest paid on the national debt. Interest rates rise 3 percent, so does the interest on the debt, and suddenly it's not a discussion of 18% or 22%, it's 18% or 25%.

    The Trump Card...

    He's not really parroting the conservative wish list. Top of that list is the wish for Trump to get out of the race. The difference between Trump and all the other candidates is, everyone else says, "You're mad and upset. I hear you, I understand. I will work to solve these problems. Trump...

    The Trump Card...

    The national debt, in and of itself, isn't a bad thing. It's actually a good thing. It's not at all the same as personal debt, so comparisons to personal or business loans or credit cards is meaningless. The problem with national debt is when it becomes too high, as a percentage of GDP, not as a...

    He's around, just has a lot on his plate lately. I need to call him and see how he's doing. I haven't talked to him in too long.

    It's cold here. 39 degrees. I'm home. Need some work done on the van (front anti swaybar bushings and links, and some other minor stuff) but the place that's doing it can't get me int he building, so it has to be done old school outside. It's going to be in the 60s next week, tho. The other...

    The S Word

    Because there are two different sets of vehicles on the road - Regulated and Unregulated. The DOT regulates the vehicles that pose an unreasonable risk to the general public (heavy truck, buses, and HAZMAT). When a cargo van has an accident, the damage is pretty much the same as when a car, SUV...
