Not at all Jim, I take the "slinky" approach to politicians. They have little real use but it sure puts a smile on your face when you push them down the stairs!!! An old joke to be sure but still very funny!! :D

Mrs. Layoutshooter informs me that we have been deducting it ever since we put it on the truck. She handles that end of the business. I guess I should just ask her what is going on, eh? :p

I have posted the link of the group that controls our overhead resources, it is a little known group compared to the CIA or NSA but have tremendous power in the itell community. Their "situation" room is located several hundred feet below ground in one of those famous government "areas" (not...

Sorry Jim, but I am going to have to not agree with you on this one. There are more than enough non-itell resources out there to track ice bergs. Even a minor repositioning takes days, except in an extreme emergency, and always has heavy costs. Those costs include large sums of money,and more...

The intelligence agencies are controlled by the civilian government. That government sets 100% of the priorities of what those agencies are working on. They also set the "tone" of their work. The attitude of the government towards the work that they do affects the moral of those working in that...

Our photo birds are not on taking pictures 24/7. They are very expensive to use. They are not normally imagining when they are not over specific targets. It is very expensive to re-target them and not all that easy. It can take days meetings to get all parties involved with those resources to...

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, go ahead and rub it in!! LOL!! I still have to do that "work stuff". It always gets in the way of life somehow. Enjoy the game!!

Not us!! We were in service 3 hours when we took our first load. I cannot stand having to wait that long for a load!! :rolleyes: We took that load on Monday, now waiting on our 3rd load of the year!!

I was listening to the Lockridge report today, they had some tax guys on. Those guys claimed that XM radio was a legit tax deduction. It is considered a "business too" since it is used for traffic reports, weather etc. Any ideas?

Programs like this are just more examples of just why socialist governments do no work. Every hard working man and woman in this Nation is being "ripped off" by these "vote buyers" in Congress and the bums that take everything and pay nothing. Yes, just in case anyone wonders what I mean, the...

Greg, I am not so much defending Bush. I was just trying to point out just how long it takes to get agents truly up to speed. Oh sure, they can learn the "basics" fairly quickly, but, learning a "target" to the point where your "gut" knows what is up takes years of work, starting from the...

I have never tried them there. I get them homemade so I kinda don't look for them on the menu when I do go there. I will have to make a point to check them out next time. Thanks Rocket!!

We are at the Baytown, TX, TA. I know, it sucks, but here we are. On the up side as of right now we are the only FedEx "D" unit checked in!! It is cooling down with a cold wind blowing. Not as cold as up north but cold. It it sunny. We are going to hook up to IdleAire this evening, assuming no...

Check out this page, simple kids experiment to explain the difference between floating ice vs. land ice and the relationship to rising ocean levels. POLAR-PALOOZA - Differential Effects of Melting Ice Sheets

Only if they came off of land. Like that big self that broke off of Anarctica, that was already floating ice, not land based ice. It broke loose. Why? Many theories out there. One of theme is warming. One of them says that the Antartic glacier fields are growing faster than normal. That would...

The Greenland ice is land ice, not sea ice. Check again, floating ice has already displaced all the water it is going too. Melting 100% of floating sea ice will not raise ocean levels. Melting land ice will. Much of the ice is growing, not melting.

Check that again, I said "sea ice" not contental ice. Trick question.

Much of the Northern Hemisphere tundra was not covered in perma-frost as little as 10,000 years ago. These things have been warming and cooling ever since the earth was formed. Nothing new under the sun. Why is the sea ice melting? It is far below freezing. Have ocean currents shifted a bit...

I don't know how to work Facebook. I logged on a few times but it seems silly to me. I support our troops though.
