    Norwegian driver hits bear after trying to avoid moose

    Grizzlies and other large bears eat berries, grubs, grain, grasses, birds, fish, buffalo, elk, goats, sheep, and moose. You're a moose. Just as you are about to be eaten by a bear, WHAM! a car takes out the bear.

    August locations and banter

    I'm with xiggi. 15 minutes is way too long. Often dispatch mentally assigns far less importance to a QC message, naturally because they are dealing with more immediate issues as when they are on the phone. But when dispatch sends out a QC message, they expect a rapid response from us. It's a...

    Best Starting battery for a gm van.

    The deep cycle capabilities of AGM batteries absolutely make the difference. With a standard cranking battery, the lead plates are very thin, which is what you want for lot of cranking amps. It allows for a whole lot of amps to be output in one whack. But those thin plates are also particularly...

    What ever happened to Mainstream Media outrage over....

    The Mainstream Media is chiefly interested in what is news, and newsworthy, i.e., what sells. All of the items listed above are old news, and boring, to the people of the mainstream. People have learned, for example, that it does absolutely no good whatsoever to get outraged over rising fuel...

    Progressive Insurance refuses to pay claim and pays lawyer to defend the other driver

    Re: Progressive Insurance refuses to pay claim and pays lawyer to defend the other dr As is often the case, the truth is somewhere in between, but you have to work to get at it. The statement from Progressive's Web site is true, or at least about 95% of it. It's certainly not the whole truth...

    I like the part where it says, "Please limit your calls into Dispatch unless it cannot be serviced via Dispatch." For example, if you have a problem with your scanner, which is something that cannot be serviced by Dispatch, you should therefore call Dispatch about it, repeatedly. Next...

    New Plant for Morgan body in SC

    In Michigan, the GVW plate registration fee is not based on GVWR, but rather on the lower amount of the maximum elected gross vehicle weight. The elected gross vehicle weight is the empty weight of the vehicle, fully equipped for service, plus the weight of the maximum load that the owner has...

    Progressive Insurance refuses to pay claim and pays lawyer to defend the other driver

    Re: Progressive Insurance refuses to pay claim and pays lawyer to defend the other dr They make perfect sense in the context of Diane's previous career. But the statement from Progressive's Web site shed the proper amount of light regarding conflict of interest.

    Best Starting battery for a gm van.

    Seems perfectly logical and reasonable to me. AGM batteries are a little more forgiving with abuse. You can still kill them dead, it just takes a little more effort. The QC is normally connected to a keyed circuit in the vehicle, meaning it knows when the ignition key is on or off. When the...

    Baker In Massachusetts refuses to accept Food Stamps

    When the Farmer's Organizers, in trying to persuade the baker to take the EBT tokens, asked her why should welfare recipients be denied access to her delicious, homemade, locally baked pies just because they can’t afford it, her response was, duh, "because they can't afford it." Said it's no...

    Ecuador grants asylum to Assange

    Unfortunately, yes. Sweden’s definition of legal rape includes the idea of ’unlawful coercion’, which involves exerting emotional pressure on someone to have sex. In other words, being a smooth talker and talking someone into bed, and the women regretting it later. If the sex is consensual...

    Ecuador grants asylum to Assange

    When I read that, in the background I could hear the Ecuadorian National Anthem being played, and in the distance I spotted the waving flag of Ecuador. Wanna bet that Wikileaks has conveniently failed to release any documents that would embarrass Ecuador? <snort> Assange is amazingly...

    Ecuador grants asylum to Assange

    Not really the same thing. In the case of Assange, it's purely political posturing and one-upsmanship. In the case of automatic weapons being fired from within an embassy, it's an act of war, or state-sponsored terrorism. The Geneva Convention deals with the latter by specifically allowing the...
