You don't think these satellite images are updated in real time do you? I mean, go back a few days later and the same car will still be there, and even if it's at night the sun will still be out.

Some kids are, by and large, naturally hyper active. They always have been, and they always will be. People, both parents and teachers, managed to settle these kids down and teach them how to use self-control, to learn to concentrate, to learn how to think, to learn how to live, long before...

Well, I don't have a TV so I don't watch Fox, so I'm not sure wht to say about that. Anyway, like all things in life, follow the money. The people who say global warming is man-made are the same people who need money to fund their work. Most people, the younger ones, anyway, have only been...

It used to be the whole in the ozone layer and skin cancer was on a dramatic increase. Well, that turned out to be false, so we don't hear much about that. Global warming was supposed to have started happening already, but when it didn't they pushed that one back to 2020, and said they have been...

Yeah, I remember the paper Map Dark Ages, just like I can remember the laptop Dark Ages. :) "Did you keep your atlas open all the time and constantly look at it going down the road? Of course not. You studied your atlas to figure out your route ahead of time. You probably tried to memorize...

"In fact, it's probably safer since it's so much larger it takes less of a glance to obtain the information." Just the opposite, actually. The larger screen of the laptop actually makes it more difficult, and therefor more time consuming, to zero in with the eyes to obtain the information you...

Many people will tell that you most children under the age of 5 can't handle formal swimming instruction. Horse hockey. They can. And considering the number one cause of death for children 4 years old and under is drowning, every kid over the age of 6 months needs to learn how not to drown...

Flying J is a dichotomy. You'll generally get great fuel mileage with their gasolines, but not so much with their diesel. Flying J owns two large refineries outright (one in North Salt Lake, and they bought Shell's Bakersfield, CA refinery last year), and own majority stake in 4 (maybe 5) other...

Just so you know, as of the 2000 Census, 48.7% of the US population lived within 50 miles of the actual coastline, with 63.2% living in a coastal county, and 74.3% of the population lives within 100 miles of a coast. The entire state of Florida is within 100 miles of a coast, and its...

It's written. Sort of. :) Driver Web, News You Can Use, Next Page, 10/7/2007, New First Out Program Details.

Well, for the most part, it is all black and white. Yes, there are some cases where there is a legitimate chemical imbalance where medications are necessary, but that's a fraction of a percent of the cases where medications are unnecessarily prescribed. Follow the money. As for you not being a...

One of the keys to a conspiracy is secrecy. That ain't gonna happen in Washington. Reminds me of those who say Bush is an incompetent moron, yet at the same time he's the mastermind behind a really complex set of New World Order conspiracies. Oh, hey, didja here the latest on Bill Clinton...

Oh, I know how they work. I also know that concentration is a learned skill. Concentration, and thinking, is hard work, often requiring both reasoning and analytical skills, both of which also require hard work in thinking and concentration. Tunnel-vision drugs that allow you to focus on one...

Two reasons. When a vehicle or driver is placed OOS, it costs the driver, but it costs the carrier more. One, it's an incentive to actually check things and make sure everything is good. The majority of drivers, especially those who drive for an owner, aren't as likely to pay attention to the...

It amazes me how people say they can't get loaded out of the northeast. I've never sat more than a day anywhere up there. It's usually all I can do just to get the sleep I need before getting loaded back out again. One time I delivered on a Thursday morning in Worcester and didn't get loaded...

Yup. Death, taxes and the inability of anyone inside the Beltway to keep a secret.

Wow. And to think, I learned how to sit still and behave (I think they call it self-control) without the aid of pharmaceuticals.

It's those rolling first outs and other "negotiated" first outs that are getting out of control. I recently pulled onto a 3-a-day board at 6th out, ext morning I was up to #2 on the board. I sat there and watched 4 vans with "negotiated" first outs roll in ahead of me, pushing me down to #5...

"...some of the members were so shocked, horrified, furious, and concerned about the future of America by what was revealed to them inside the secret meeting, that they have started to leak this secret information to independent news agencies around the world." Which is why, of course, the...

The folks over at GPS Passion (G p s P a s S i o n) are equally thrilled. 6 months ago they had the 2008 map, now in June we have the 2009 map. What are they gonna call in in 2009, I wonder? It's available on Usenet, ABCDI. 3 gigs.
