    I am glad I won't live to see that day, and I KNOW that it is coming. A story, it tells the tale of which we speak: When working the Soviet tank corps we often wondered about the "Red Flag" that flew on the radio antenna of command tank. The Soviets used 3 tank squads. Once, in a slip up, a...

    Baseball

    As you most likely know, the Mud Hens are the Tigers AAA club. We get to see the up and coming new Tigers and often Major league players that are down for rehab or to work on a problem. They games are very fun to go to. The crowd gets into the game more than at the major league games, or at...

    Baseball

    Tigers fan all the way. No, we are not going to the game. We hope to be working and they cost too much money to go to any more. When we want to watch baseball we go to a Toledo Mud Hen game. MUCH cheaper, closer to home. The parking is easy. The baseball is almost on par with the pros. We can...

    Do Dispatchers Lie?

    They might even find it easier to cover some of those bad loads if they gave ALL of the information up front. We took a load last week, it pays great per mile, LOTS of miles, low weight. The problem with it was it was offered late last Wed and does not pick up until tomorrow. We thought it...

    Fair Compensation

    I hate it when that happens. I don't know what would be fair for a B unit. I do know that when it happens to us I do not feel that we are fairly compensated for, not only the miles driven, but the time involved. Not only did you drive those miles but you were also off the boards and not able to...

    More like 80 to 100 years. To try something different would require REMOVING social programs, completely. Adding too and expanding the ones that we now have has not worked in the past and will never work in the future. ANY system that encourages weakness, rewards laziness and punishes success...

    Red Skelton Pledge from 1969

    That talent still is out there, it always is. What is lacking is a venue for it to shine and a public with taste and standards to enjoy it. If it could be sold, it would be. Just as in politics, our lack of standards as a people is the main cause for the garbage we see today.

    I Like This Doctor!!

    We saw exactly that first hand when we lived in England. We are headed for an English style single payer system. Not a good thing. While the English system has some good features the down sides greatly outweigh the benefits. Just wait until some government lackey starts setting limits on...

    I Like This Doctor!!

    There will also no mention be made about the "ethics of the left" when services are cut or rationed due to lack of funding. There is NEVER enough money to run a public health system. The funds get eaten up by administration costs. There will be no mention made about the "ethics of the left" when...

    What a good deal that is!! Man, I wish I had a sweet deal like that one, oh wait, I do.:eek: We have, however, had our dome replaced once.

    I Like This Doctor!!

    You mean to say that an individual in the United States of America is not allowed to run his or her business as they see fit? Oh yeah, I forgot, that can only happen in a free country. I cannot see complaining about the ethics of a doctor and not the total lack of ethics in our congress and...

    Obumma Care

    That is why we keep expanding hate crimes and their definition. We will soon have total government censorship, thought police and government approved groups to hate. Like gun owners, those of us who believe in our Constitution and anyone who disagrees with those in charge.

    You are 100% correct Rocket. This has been going on for YEARS. Social Security is just one fine example of which you are speaking. So is Medicare, Medicade, welfare and just about everything else these con artists are forcing on us. We have only ourselves to blame. We keep voting them in...

    We are no longer allowed to talk about "those shorts" in here. It is no longer considered funny, it is old stuff and I get yelled at when I make cracks about those unbelievable, gaudy, wild, mind blowing shorts!! What ya got in your bag of tricks for Expo this year, OVM?:rolleyes:

    FDCC often has us stage out of that Petro when working CDC loads. Of course there is often 25-30 of us there so we seldom have problems.
