    Fedex delivery

    Sorry I was protecting the dignity of the dead and their family. I knew that poor gentleman who was on that road. I knew his wife and kids. His death was NOT going to be "fodder" for a sick, demented voyeur. Small town people often protect their own. Did not hurt him, just got him a bit wet. A...

    $4 per gallon by Sept. 2012, for gas. National average. Higher is "liberal" states.

    Gingrich vs. Romney

    Wonder what we'll all find ? It would likely be similar to opening "Pandora's Box". You would find all sorts of untold evil.

    Oil Rises for Fourth Day

    One news report this morning is suggesting that fuel prices next year will be higher than last. They see little relief.

    Preserving your mental/emotional well-being on the road

    This is a business that requires one, for the most part, to be away from home for long periods of time. All considering starting an expediting business should be sure to give this issue a lot of thought. This business is our only means of income. It does not matter how we "feel" about...

    Pre dispatch load info

    We are going to be at FedEx on the 4th of Jan. We are setting aside time to talk with some people when we are there. We try to do that every time we are there. This was one of the subjects we were planning on bringing up.

    Congress sets 100% of the missions and priorities. The military has to figure out how to meet those orders. ONLY congress can spend money. It is 100% their fault. I understand the system is messed up. Start first where the biggest problem lies, the congress. Several places, although...

    Pre dispatch load info

    That could be it. The ONE load that we did get routing early for was a DOD load. They did email us that routing. It would benefit all of us if ALL hazmat routing was sent prior to picking up the load. They want us to leave as soon as loaded. On more than one occasion we have driven "past" a...

    EVERY project I ever worked on STARTED and ENDED in Congress. NO high tech military will ever replace ground troops, unless you are willing to go all nuke and use them. By the way, we are in Japan for our work, not Japan's. They defend themselves quite well.

    Everybody gets "lobbied". ONLY the congress spends the money. It always falls on them. They have the power to control things. They don't. The buck does stop with them. 100% of the blame rest with them. I recall that in October every year the "Wedgewood" shop on base would bring in a large...

    So it sounds as though you think a "military man" is needed. Well, hate to ruin in the party and point out that huge frickin' pachyderm that;s sittin' here in the middle of the living room, but ... THAT TO A LARGE DEGREE IS HOW WE GOT INTO THE SITUATION WE ARE CURRENTLY IN I contend...

    "I understand propagation and radio, I also know how it works and what the predictions for band opening are and where. " Good, then you understand that certain freqs only "land" in certain places. Collection of those signals HAVE to be done in those places. There is NO other way. Greg...

    "Don't know but if it is intel, that can be worked out some other way. The CIA seems to be doing a good job operating where we have no massive amount of troops so I guess it is how we approach the issue and what we have to gain by it that will matter." Greg, CIA does not do that "kind" of...

    Ideas and concepts have to be based on reality, not '60's slogans and fluff. I trust no one who has no real life experience. NO ONE!

    Don't like Hugo, never have. Don't like "sayings" or "slogans". All talk. When push comes to shove, if these cutbacks and draw downs are done wrong, MILLIONS will die. Experience is the key. I have yet to see it in anyone you post about.
