. . . . . . . . You caught the ball that Bonds hit You now owe $200,000 to the IRS for an alleged value of the ball. You have the chance to sell it but Bonds representatives have indicated that he wants the ball back and offer you tickets for next season. You want Barry Bonds to autograph...

Bob Dole at one time told Kerry that if he was serious about winning the white house, he needs to respect his constituents and step down as senator. One reason he didn't win - his arrogance. I think that this should be the rule for every politician from Dog Catcher to Senator that you vacate...

Glad to help, I should get a camera to take pictures but it is too late now. The first thing about windows is I have yet seen really good windows on any of these sleepers I looked at. Many of them are cheap to me at least. I have talked to the people who make windows for R/Vs like Prevosts and...

Henry Ford Hospital has little to do with FMC but I do agree they are goofy too. As for the united way, at the big pharma company I was told I was expected to give X amount every quarter and to volunteer a day (paid) to a UW project. I later found out that this was mandatory and my raises were...

Let me tell you the whole thing, it may be easier to explain the problems I found. I made one big mistake when I bought this truck, I really didn’t check out the sleeper and it was my fault. When I got the truck home I went into a very wet sleeper. I took one entire day to get this cleaned...

RE: Number of Vans out there for FedEx%2C TriState I think it is an organize crime thing.

OK here is the third attempt in trying to reply to this. I think that you need to rip out the carpet, not mess around trying to clean anything – especially if the truck is more than 3 or 4 years old. Normally a house with low traffic needs the carpet changed every 7 to 10 years but high...

Sorry for all of you automotive company fans but my principles can not allow me to buy a product from a company like Ford and my hope is that others will follow. In fact, I can not even promote supporting them any more and I will be telling friends and family to dump their Ford stock, they...

RE: Number of Vans out there for FedEx%2C TriState Fleet size varies day to day, Panther may have the largest one today but in a month, someone else may. The feds, someone correct me if I am wrong, I think require updates monthly not daily for large fleets.

Dave, I see what you are driving at but I don't know if that will be a lasting thing, UPS may go after enlarging their fleet using their existing model of employees instead of contractors, which they seem to only use contractors sparingly within their organization. This would give them even...

Actually, what i'd like to see, is someone.... anyone, break the choke hold that NLMI has on the automotive freight industry. I personally hold that group responsible for alot of the problems we have in this industry. I think if UPS would hard sell to the new ford/visteon splinter group...what...

Well Dave, I agree with you but remember that big business looks at things differently and like another big business, Pfizer, it took them a few times around the block at a great loss to get one of their subsidiaries straighten up enough to bring it into the fold. So let's see....

>Trivia question: In the movie 2001 Space Odyssey the >computer was named HAL. How did the writers come up with >that acronym? Sorry I am bored this morning and don't want to do house (sleeper) work, so here goes...... Heurisically (sp?) programmed ALgorithmic computer But when I worked...

You two are funny. 'but Phil' ;-) Phil I understand where your coming from but the thing is unless you are on the shipping end of things, the single phone call thing does not seem to exist within FedEx. We get a lot of work that is originates throughout the company, not a single place - this is...

No argon.

I have been sitting here on the Mexican border for a few days, relaxing and taking some time off to finish up a few articles and I am so surprised at the ‘rich’ Mexicans who come here to shop. When I went to the Wal-Mart a couple miles north of the border, I was so surprised at the amount...

For most, they may not get this, the Austrians brought back German romantic classic, Der Freischütz or The Marksman has been revived at one of the festivals but with a twist. The story line is a simple a tale pitting good against evil in the dark woods somewhere in Germany. The hero is in...

RE: CONFUSED!! Yea, x06col I guess ....thinking about it... you may be completely right about that point.
