    Illegitimate use of air

    I've received SPAM from people who are actually in the military. SPAM knows no barriers.

    Christianity, the new hate crime

    I was talking about the irony of the church having executed people for not believing in certain things, turning thoughts into crimes and branding people as heretics. The irony is that they can dish it out, but they can't take it. None of the pictures you posted are even remotely on-topic. Why...

    First published book on Expediting?

    "Often spoke of it" is an understatement. That's all she talked about, her book, and how it was the definitive resource on all-things-expediting. Every post from her was either about the book, or about how she knew enough about getting into expediting to tell newbies how to do it. It got really...

    Happy April Fool's Day everyone. I hope life isn't one big joke, because I don't get it. Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.

    It means don't buzz the tower, Mav. Every time you do that, coffee gets spilled.

    Tailgatting

    Well, no, it's mine. The last part is just my own warped variation of the third verse from the rather famous poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

    Tailgatting

    East and West are quite close, as they are merely directions on a globe, and are forever conjoined at the longitudinal position of the observer. Stand there facing North. East is immediately to your right, West is immediately to your left, with East and West not even being as far apart as your...

Your problem with be gaining access to the bid boards. They don't just let anyone on there who wants on. Most are...

    Tailgatting

    Wow. Blinding drivers with bright lights, throwing hard spherical objects, bubble gum, washer fluid, even vegetables. I'm impressed at the wide variety of ways people can implement the "Two Wrongs Make a Right" theory of Professional Drivers Driving Professionally. Personally, I prefer the...

    I just delivered in Chattanooga. It's hot here. All weekend. Bring your flip-flops. I just picked up a load in Atlanta, and when traffic finally clears out I'm heading to somewhere in SE Michigan (shocking, I know) for Monday delivery. In the meantime I'll sleeping the good sleep for the first...

    Fox Debunks Right-Wing Lies?

    I don't really watch Fox News much anymore. It's just to taxing mentally to have to sit there and listen to such blatant spin. I had no idea they had been on a rampage against the Volt. I thought everyone knew it was well into development long before Obama was elected. But I gotta tell ya...
