    Morel mushroom hunting

    The size really did startle me. We see a lot of 2 and 3 foot snakes, but rarely one that large. No tellin' how many times I've been in the barn and he's been in the corner checking me out. But even though I knew that one wasn't poisonous, man, at 7 feet, ya never know. lol Those herons can grab...

    Oh, he's been here a while, just under a different name. ;) From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (sort of): JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a van Gogh. What's van Gogh, Vincent? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor...

    Morel mushroom hunting

    At first I thought it was lizard, actually. But even at that it would have been a pretty huge lizard. Then it slithered around the corner of the barn and came outside, maybe a foot away from where I was standing. As it moved from the barn over to underneath an outbuilding next to the barn, it...

    Morel mushroom hunting

    We've got a big pond out in front of the house. You have to be careful around there. ;) A while back when I was doing some work on the van, this little bugger (all 7 feet of him) kept a close eye on me from inside the barn, about 3 feet away. He's not poisonous, tho. He just keeps the rats and...

    Is it starting?

    Absolutely. After having been robbed and mugged twice before on the subway, he shot four men who were trying to get him a third time. He was found not guilty of attempted murder and assault, but they had to nail him over something, had to make an example out of him, otherwise we'd have this...

    Is it starting?

    Remember a few years ago, early 90's I think, when some tourist was stabbed and killed on the NYC subway? The Mayor (was it Dinkins?) stated that the stabbing proved we need stronger gun control laws. I'll never forget that one.

    Is it starting?

    The ever popular catch-all, "public safety" is why. With registered guns, you can trace the guns back to the owners and solve crimes. Any idea how many murders have been solved because the gun was registered? <snort> Even though we're already on the slope, I really don't think any law that...

    Is it starting?

    What you quoted wasn't actually a quote. I do seem to recall that she suggested that all privately owned handguns, not all guns, but the ones of the hand variety, should be outlawed, so that only The State (military and law enforcement) could have handguns. She has called for the registration of...

    Confused

    In one sense, yeah, it is, as you can get by on less than that. You can also spend a great deal more. Mainly it depends on how healthy you want to eat. It also can depend on whether or not your van has a kitchen in it, if you get my drift. Cheese and crackers can go only just so far towards a...

    Wow yerself, Drama Queen. You come out of the woodwork to come after me personally, calling my posts idiotic and crazy, and then a lame shot that my own words show a constant lack insight? What's wrong with you? Idiotic is as idiot does. For one, I said I was speaking about vans, not...

    Confused

    Can't speak to a straight, but in a van, one thing to keep in mind is that while the owner does have expenses, he's not living and working in the van 24/7. He's put the van to work for him, so in an oversimplification, he just sits back and rakes in the money that the driver and the van earn for...

    Newbie Introduction

    Right now may very well be the worst time, ever, to get into the business, particularly as a van driver, and especially as a van driver driving for a fleet owner where you will be splitting nearly half what little income you will get with an owner. Many owner/operators who are driving their own...

    Yes it is, it's blatant plagiarism, something I make no bones about. A lot of the pictures I post here are also blatantly stolen from the net, a fact of which I also make no secret. An informal setting such as a conversational forum does not have the same circumstances as a more formal venue...

    Correct, you should have expected no less. The thoughts, ideas and the points to be made were mine. Some posts I make here are exclusively my own words, others may contain large chunks of others, with no real reason to reword them in any way. I use whatever I need to make my point as best I...
