The reason many are spending so much time trying to be funny is because it's a funny topic. It's silly. It's akin to taking an instructional class on the many various and sundry ways of reading a digital clock, and then graduating the class with a certificate. It's like having a degree in being...

YouTube - Knuffingen Airport Knuffingen Airport, based on the Hamburg Airport, opened on May 4th, 2011. Pretty kewl stuff. The video is pre-opening, but still impressive. The real airport in Hamburg covers almost 6 square kilometers. This model covers only 150 square meters. That’s a lot...

Yeah, little bit. But that's the epitome of Julian Assange, always has been. Assange feels that he is, or should be, above the law, for reasons he can articulate quite well. If someone steals confidential information and leaks it to Wikileaks, and then whoever stole the information gets the full...

I know that when I started changing my own sheets as a kid, I much preferred fitted sheets over the flat ones. They were much quicker and easier to change. Duh. When I started buying my own sheets, I've never even considered getting a set of flat sheets. Granted, I'm lazy, but multiply that...

That's a lot of money. The TA has a smartphone app right now, for free, that tells you the same thing, sort of. Click a location and it tells you how many parking spots there are (and showers) and how many of them are open. In real time.

It's actually a union sponsored bill, because the use of fitted sheets would greatly reduce the physical stress experienced by housekeepers who have to lift heavy mattresses many times a day while tucking in non-fitted sheets. Using fitted sheet will reduce worker injuries by eliminating the...

Terry, Charles, Judy and Hawk... thank you for the time and effort of doing a tough job, a dirty job, a thankless job. Your dedication has had a marked impact on this community.

"Consumers would be able to opt out of all but those presidential messages." That's a little disturbing. Janet Napalitano at Walmart bleeting at us to keep alert, emergency announcements from the president, surveyance cameras in street lights, TSA feel-ups. Soon we will see the megaphones on...

Oh, I know. Everything from being up there in the first place, knowing we were up there just a few short hours before it all happened, to knowing that our plane departed at roughly the same time of day as those others, who like us were also fully fueled for flights to Los Angeles (3 of the...

Yeah. That's what blind loyalty and misplaced pride can get you, where you don't see clearly what is happening around you. One call for all your shipping needs, call-takers steering customers to cheaper alternatives, dispatching offers to multiple trucks at once, self-powered refer shipping...

Naaa, you don't credential a small trailer. :D

One thing to always keep in mind is that the carrier doesn't do anything unless it benefits the carrier, and their field of view is totally focused on what benefits the carrier. Anything or anyone outside that field of view is irrelevant. Having pride in an association with a particular carrier...

Phil put you up to this, didn't he.

I have a Rand McNally Trucker's Atlas that I bought 4 or 5 years ago. I carry it with me in case my computer and my Garmin and my phone all die at once from a Chinese EMP device detonated high above the continent, but I haven't opened up since the day I bought it. I, too could wax poetic...

OK, looking at those pictures, the women of Toronto really need to work on their slutwear a little bit. <snort> Here's some other pictures from the event. This one gets it, but I think there might be something else going on there. Better. "Me love you long time, eh."

Yeah, I was going to mention that. You get a van RV conversion and drive and live in that, and then pull a trailer to haul the freight. No need to hook and unhook, just back the trailer up to the bottom of the ramp, easy peasy. But even though this is infinitely better than pulling a camping...

Kind of a confused shock, mostly. But we didn't get to see any of it it, really, like on the news and stuff, as we were in the middle of it, so to speak. It wasn't until several hours later when we found out what happened and what was going on. The night before 9/11 a friend a I had a late...

They're all unfriendly, if ya ask me. I won't fly anymore, not after flying out of NYC on the morning of 911.

SAN FRANCISCO — Flight attendants and passengers subdued an unruly passenger and put him in handcuffs as an American Airlines flight was approaching San Francisco, police said. Sgt. Michael Rodrigues, of San Francisco police, said the passenger was banging on the ****pit door and shouting...
