    Prestige = Laser Ship?

    About a year ago LaserShip acquired Prestige. LaserShip is mostly an East Coast parcel delivery and courier service delivering last mile and same day stuff to retailers, pharmaceuticals, office supplies. Far as I know they're overwhelmingly cargo van. I'm not sure how they've integrated Prestige...

    bmv record question

    Good thing Indiana passed that new expungement law a couple of years ago, allowing it, huh. If I recall, you can only have your record expunged one time. You can have several convictions expunged at once, but you can't have one expunged now and then another one a few years down the road. If...

    Accent-Off: Minnesota Edition

    When they introduced each one and they had 2 pages of "favorite lakes" on their bio... :JC-LOL: Maria Bamford (the taller, skinnier one) is from Duluth and is a really funny stand up comedian, and Ariel Dumas, a Second City alum, is from Long Lake and is a writer on the Late Show.

    bmv record question

    The length of time they keep "supporting documentation" generally refers to the time frame in which a past offense will be considered in sentencing (and for Points) for a current offense. Meaning, if you have another DUI today, they will treat you as if it is your first offense and will not...

    It doesn't have Jack Lemon in it, but Hopscotch is a real gem of a Walter Matthau movie. It's free on Hulu. Hopscotch

    Well, he only reached out. Should have probably grabbed them.

    What Changed?

    In order for there to be a successful lawsuit, the news station would have to publicly state that their weather forecasts are accurate, and/or they would have to knowingly broadcast false and misleading forecasts. If the meteorologists at the station knew the storm was going to be bad, but...

    What Changed?

    Except most often it doesn't. It's a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" scenario, where they over-hype every.little.thing and eventually people get complacent and stop listening. "Oh, great, another hurricane, which will be like the last 17 that missed us completely or turned out to be nothing more than a...

    What Changed?

    That's it right there. The Weather Channel now assigns names to winter storms, just like hurricanes. And they're all bad. Really bad. Potentially. There's no such thing as "cold" anymore, it's now "bitter cold." Anything colder than 30 degrees qualifies. Arctic Blasts (isn't that from Dairy...

    Well, if you buy the replacement headlamp assemblies from the dealer it's about $1460 per side. If you buy an OEM assembly off eBay, it's about $1000 per headlamp. Plus the wiring harness kit, of course. It's only about a $900 option if you order your Sprinter from the factory with HID lights...

    Whenever I hear Sarah Palin speak, that's what I hear. She's got the same facial expressions and mannerisms, too.

    Mechanical oil

    What does "without issue" mean? Does that mean you pour the oil into the engine and the engine doesn't blow up? You can use whatever oil you want in an engine, and you will do so "without issue" until one day, suddenly, you find yourself, you know, "with issue." The Sprinter T1N engine...

    Wasn't even a detour. I delivered in Pipestone at the south end of town right off US 75. On the way up I just stayed on I-29 and went through Egan straight over to Pipestone, but coming back down to the J I just came straight town 75 to I-90 and then over, because the roads were badly windblown...

    To any Sarah Palin fans, I want to sincerely apologize for totally ruining it for you. But this right here is Sarah Palin.
