Most people actually do prefer to have the Time Zone automatically change to wherever you are, same as Streets and Trips lists all times in local times. But most of the trucking industry operates in the eastern time zone, including many national carriers out of California. This is something that...

Awesome. :D

Wow, even without clicking the link, you can see it's from The Onion. Layout, dood, please click the link. I have a feeling you could use it. Didja catch that one ad on Craig's List? Air Force One - $4200 or best offer. lol I love this one. Obama Drastically Scales Back Goals For America...

Grasshoppers are pretty scary. Jimmy Cricket? Pure evil.

Not being able to fix the time zone to eastern would be a big issue with me. It's bad enough having to keep track of the ever-changing time on the cell phone. Nothing like being near a time zone border, setting the alarm on the phone, and then wake up to find the phone is now working off a...

If you're dead, food, clothing and shelter ain't much good either. You stated, quite matter of factly, that "Entertainment is a nice thing to have but it is NOT a NEED." The whole of human history says you're wrong. Is that arguing? Perhaps.

Wow. Dabluzman is being extraordinarily kind when he says you are off on this one. Myself, being more straightforward and perhaps not quite as tactful would simply call this hypocritical in the extreme. Mankind has many basic needs beyond the physical survival needs of food, clothing and...

Apparently, no one will claim ownership of the idea, at least not publicly. I do know they much prefer paperwork to be sent in more often, like within 24 hours of delivery, and certainly by the third day after delivery, rather than once a week, especially if that "once a week" is on a Friday or...

A lot of the rescue helicopters, especially the ones in southern California, are just like us, independent contractors. It wasn't like a hospital, or the city or county, gave up an on-call helicopter to transport a dead body. Independent rescue choppers are used like that a lot in LA to...

I wish kids had a volume dial. That would be kewl.

Farrah got me through puberty. Well, OK, I was well passed puberty when she first appeared on Charlie's Angels, but she brought the feelings of puberty back to me. :D Michael did some things musically that were far beyond new and different, beyond genius. He also completely reinvented the...

I wonder why hypermilers run their tires over-inflated all the time and get better mileage and longer tread wear out of them. All I know is, the max stated cold tire tire pressure is one that is designed for up to a 25% increase in tire pressure due to heat, so hot tire pressure is supposed to...

When it's raining, or foggy, the moisture in the air causes the light to be refracted more, creating a UV haze. Sunglasses cut through the haze. "It's not your fault you didn't get the joke, it's my fault." - David Letterman

Gee whiz, could you be anymore cynical? News coverage is a matter of scale. If those other thousands of people who died today were as well known on a national or international scale, they'd have gotten widespread coverage, tooooo. Michael and Farrah were celebrities, yes, pop icons, but in order...

I don't have TV in the truck, so fortunately I'm missing all the coverage.

Exactly. Since they're moving to a new card, it would make more sense to move it to the TA card instead of creating a new program. The TA cards are registered, too, where they send you one with your name on it. At least with a registered card, if you lose the card your points can be transferred...

I dunno. I would think that you would first need to make a determination as to whether or not anyone actually got paid off, and then the question can be asked as to whom and how much.

I forget. What was it exactly that Michael Jackson was found guilty of?

Helen Krieble is an idiot if she thinks the Red Card will do anything but give illegals anything more than a legal means of getting here easier. They get the Red Card that gets them in the door, and even if they actually do show up for their new job, if they lose it they're not going to go back...
