The map is correct, sort of. There is coverage there, but it really sux if you are moving, because you're being handed off from tower-to-tower like every 10 miles, and it's a different provider's tower every time. If you go here (Verizon Coverage Locator) and then click "Enhanced Services"...

Widely believed, but it's not really true. Two carriers, Enterprise and Lexington were out delivering additional war planes to Wake and Midway. The Enterprise was actually pre-scheduled to be back in port at Pearl on December 6th, according to the Quarterly Employment Schedule that was...

The thing that most impresses me is the fact that they actually tweeted this stuff, the good and the bad.

Cheri nailed it, but from my perspective, anyone who has to deal with the whims and moods of the DOT on a near-daily basis has it pretty bad.

You quoted it, and still missed it. It is "to better understand..." not to fully, completely and thoroughly understand... They are doing this to better understand what we deal with, in particular with the technology and tools we are given to deal with the loads, in particular the Qualcomm and...

Last night I drove from Medina to East Peoria, US30 to US24 all the way across, and didn't see any snow other than a few flurries. Got unloaded a little after midnight, which was a nice surprise for an 8AM delivery time, and scooted over to Walmart, where I was joined by a Panther straight truck...

I don't think they went about it the wrong way at all. They went about it exactly the way they wanted to, which is fine. This isn't a "46 Hours" hidden camera deal, or the movie "Brubaker" where they go in undercover. The only way they can really and truly know what it's like out here is to come...

"The Simple Life" with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. "Changing Lanes" with Andy Clarke and Ed Wadel. Same thing. Exactly. :D

Keep in mind that most states have adopted the federal DOT rules verbatim into their own state laws. So while they may not have federal authority, the laws are the same.

The medical miracle of having brains in one's little finger notwithstanding, having more or less brains than a particular president isn't the criteria for a good president. Women outnumber men in this country by something like 8 or 9 million. Women voters outnumber men voters by 15% to 20%. If...

A woman president? Puhleeze.

Whether you believe in Creationism is irrelevant to the fact that the Big Bang happened. The discovery and measurement of the black-body form and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation proves beyond all doubt that the Big Bang actually occurred. Just like the Theory of...

All of the "boggle your mind" Internet postings and e-mails are chiefly fiction. Some include a few truths, but mostly they are just made up. Like, those "tests" that grade schoolers took in 1912 or whenever - all made up. Walt Disney is being kept frozen in liquid nitrogen somewhere in one of...

Ever notice that whenever the monthly, quarterly and yearly financial and employment reports are released, whether up or down, it's always a surprise? Who are these incompetents? Oh, here's one... Moron. He wadd'n even close. Why do they quote him as if he's some kind of authority, as if he has...

That's a good one right there. In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded. :D Certainly less now than before. Many have been run off. What is left is largely a group of back patters who's debating skills consist largely of emotional rants that more than anything say, in essence, "This...

I'm not really missing it. I've been loaded and runnin', but have been reading and been pseudo-participating via a cell phone proxy. :D The cut-n-paste of entire articles, once in a while, especially if they are short, especially if you think it might interest others in the community, is fine...

"With Winter here in some states..." In all states, heck, the entire Norther Hemisphere for that matter, Winter doesn't arrive in 2009 until December 21 at 12:47PM EST, the precise time of the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year in terms of visible sunlight. In 2010 it'll be 12/21 @...

No, not really. While it doesn't specifically grant permissions, it does reinforce the plainly evident, that the government cannot restrict the speech of individuals. While it may be technically incorrect to state "the First Amendment gives you that right", it is not incorrect as a matter of...

I'm thinkin of nailing my dog walker on the floor of my van Meant to be? Really? Meant to be? I've read the TOUA, every word of it, and the Code of Conduct, every word of it, and I cannot find that reference anywhere. You have to be thirteen in order to even register. In any case, I really have...
