    New Technology and FedEx Custom Critical

    Oh man, I just thought of something. We have our QC bracket mounted on the dash. I am going to have to take apart my entire dash board to remove it. Darn!! Now we will have four holes in the dash with nothing in them. Maybe they will forget I have an old unit? :( LOL!! You just never know what...

    Well, good luck to you!! We have seen more "stuff" at those West Memphis Truck Stops that we would rather forget!! Many very strange types hang out there. By the way, we got a msg today from FedEx warning us about a "strange car" that has been seen at West Memphis truck stops of late. They...

    You got more guts than I do, West Memphis? I stay away from that area like it has the plague!! I head over to the "J" in Olive Branch. Much safer and cleaner.

    Truck stop safety?

    The upside to parking closer is that you have less distance in which some thug can jump you between the truck and the building.

    Asian Carp

    I have posted the link to the Michigan DNR Fish Advisory booklet. It is a very sobering read. Even if some of the dangers are overstated that very fact that what should be a good, safe, food source has been contaminated to such a degree. Mankind should be ashamed. Many people, myself included...

    Good luck my friend. You are correct, being a father is by far the most important thing you can do for your kids. I truly hope you can find something around the area. I know how tough that is right now. Our area is really hurting as you well know. I will keep my ears open and if I hear of...

    The Search for Reagan

    Spot on Greg. At least his speech writers were pretty good. Not anywhere near the "gloom and doom" of today. They often inspired. I took my family to hear him speak at the dedication of a new building at NSA when I worked there. Even taking into account that much of that speech was a pep talk...

    We are now at the TA in Florence, KY. Have a AM pickup in Cinci, going to St. Louis. Then, later that evening, picking up in St. Louis headed for Wixom, MI. If all goes well we will take the weekend off at home.

    Think before you move

    It is not hard, you have to want to fit in. OVM has the right idea. Country and small town folk are wonderful, friendly people, if you both give them a chance to get to know you and make a real effort to join the community!!!

    The Search for Reagan

    He could have and should have vetoed that bill. Even if that veto could not be sustained. I am more aware than most of what took place with the Soviets. I give him a "B" He got it done but made a HUGE mistake which prolonged it far longer than it needed to. That was the INF treaty which made...

    The Search for Reagan

    I don't want another Reagan either. While I did agree with most, not all, of what he did military wise, he was a closet liberal. Like the amnisty for criminal invaders from Mexico. We need a Constitutional Conservative. They stand almost no chance though. Neither the religious bunch nor the...

    Think before you move

    We moved into a small town like that in PA. The locals looked at all "newcomers" with a warry eye. We had NO problems fitting in. We joined the fire department, the ambulance club. We put our lives on the line with them. It is that simple. It is up to the "newcomer" to prove that they are worthy...
