Well, I for one believe that any percentage of reliance on foreign oil is too much, but not let's get carried away. We've never had anywhere near a 90% reliance on foreign oil. Right now, as of the end of first quarter 08, we import 57.8% of the oil we consume, down from a little over 58% a year...

A parody of the commercial. Very well done. YouTube - Wii Fit Parody YouTube has some pretty amazing videos of people playing this thing. The 6 year old girl who cleans her uncle's clock in boxing is pretty kewl, as is the 22 month old who is pretty good at Wii Tennis.

No question about it, that makes perfect, logical sense. Why spend anywhere from $300 to $800, or more, for a standalone GPS when you can add the same capability (or close to it, anyway) to a laptop for $100? Any and all arguments that people make for using a laptop instead of a standalone GPS I...

I used to be one of those laptop people, until I used a Garmin for the first time. I used both Streets and Trips and DeLorme. Streets and Trips has a better interface and prettier maps, but DeLorme has faster updating, better re-routing, and can find things that Streets and Trips cannot find...

I think so, yes. Women have the innate ability to make men think they are in charge, when they're clearly not, as well as to make men think they are wrong, when they're clearly not. Women can use sex to get what they want. Men cannot, as sex is what they want.

The Spring 2008 edition of Panther Paws is out. "Get it while it's hot! Get it while it's buttered!" - Bugs Bunny Owner Web, main page. Driver Web, References, bottom of page.

If we quadrupled the US oil reserves, where would we store it? Right now we're storing about 570 million barrels in salt caverns along the Gulf of Mexico that can hold up to 700 million barrels. The US has the largest deposits of oil shale in the worlds. But, just so you know, the oil in the...

Some background and context... The original lecture was given in September of 2007 at Carnegie Mellon University. It was part of an ongoing lecture series there where top CMU faculty members were asked to consider what matters most to them, and then deliver a hypothetical "Final Lecture", with...

As for brands, Garmin or Tom Tom, flip a coin. I prefer the Garmin, because that's what I'm most familiar with. A Tom Tom user will likely be just as loyal. It's a Coke-Pepsi thing. I have a Garmin c550, and I am pleased with it, but if I were to buy a new one today, it would be a Nuvi, 600...

I also don't have that pesky windshield deductible. Not many states have that. I had to replace one windshield between Christmas and New Year's, then had to do it again at Easter. That was Easer last year, so far so good. (of course, I'll have to replace it again within a week, now that I've...

Ah... Body by Fisher, brains by Fisher Price.

Was she your ex wife when she did it, or did she become your ex wife when she did it? :D

Leo, just out of curiosity, if a driver is driving your truck and a rock catches the windshield, who pays the deductible to have it replaced?

Maybe I'm missing something, but, to me, I'd think that, as a fleet owner, one would already know the rates before buying all those trucks and getting their own authority.

Keep talking crazy like that and before you know it you'll be looking squarely at your ROI. A pirate walks into a bar. Bartender notices he has a really large belt buckle shaped like the steering wheel on a ship. The bartender asks about the wheel. The pirate replies... "Y'arrr....it's...

"am going to use", or are using? When you state, "This must be entered into the equation because it will vary your cost per mile," one can only assume that you are entering these cost numbers into the equation already. Am I mistaken? "What happens when a person is running late or stops...

It's not much of a challenge. All I'm asking for are the numbers that you, apparently, already have in place, and are working with on a daily basis.

Ratwell, calm down, take a pill. CPM in terms of the PRESENT VALUE of MONEY? Huh? You're so consumed with the Fed, printing money, the devalued dollar, foreign oil, fuel costs, the oil reserves and the heartbreak of psoriasis that you can't see the forest for the trees. You act like every issue...

I'll be spending Memorial Day here in beautiful downtown Laredo, playing with the stray cat, trying to keep the fire ants out of my pants, beating the tarantulas back with a stick, and trying to keep cool.
