Juju, here's video of Greg Brown doing his Canned Goods song. It reminds me of you. The lyrics, not Greg Brown! Canned Goods by Greg Brown - YouTube

The events on that day were certainly this country's biggest failure to date. We supplied the targets, the training and the weapons and a handful of goat herders changed the way we go about our daily lives.

When I first became an expediter in 1997 it was common for people to approach me on the street to ask about the life and work. People at the loading docks, under bridges, in soup lines and other places regularly approached me and asked the usual questions expediter wannabees ask. But mostly...

Where's the outrage over the missing flag? There 3 flag holders on the wall and only 2 flags. Some stole the North Korean flag. Where's the outrage that all 3 flags, even the missing North Korean flag were made in China. Where's the outrage that school district is pushing for a $12 million...
