    Leaking something from a Chevy van

    I'm leaking something from my van, slightly to the passenger side of center. I can't "catch" it leaking, so I'm having trouble tracking it down. I put my finger in it, and it looks clear, but has a slight odor to it of something petroleum-based, but I can't tell if that's from the liquid itself...

    Man kills 3-year old for not eating hot dog

    Paul Craig Roberts will be sent to the gulag for this one

    I don't think he's ever gone this far before. Though this formatting is still a bit funky, it should be better than pasting it from my phone. This article starts out slow, If the Greece bailout doesn't interest you, But it picks up speed, and by the end, it is practically sid vicious, which...

    Fun with guards

    DATELINE GARY, INDIANA-- it's shift change at the TA. The guards here don't drive directly to the TA or Pilot. Apparently, they drive to the office and get in one of their company vehicles and then go in. I'm parked in the lot on the side by the porno place, and one comes driving up and gets...

    Fun with deputies

    I was in a truckstop in Lincoln, NE the other day. I had just delivered a long load and was tired. Must have been pretty obvious. I was bleary-eyed and such. I bump into this deputy inside. He seems like a decent guy. He asks me how I am and I told him how tired I was, that I'd just driven 1200...

    Illinois becoming more authoritarian

    Having been raised in Illinois, I'd always considered it the land where regular, reasonable people lived. That was reinforced when I became a trucker and have since been through all the contiguous 48 more than once; a trip to Newark or even Detroit will show you how different people separated by...

    The people you meet...

    Bumped into a guy at the truck stop who is wearing a kilt... Or maybe it's a skirt, because it's not plaid. Looks like leather. He's big, bald, and carrying a huge walking stick, maybe to beat people who make fun of his leather skirt. On his bald head, he has a few tattoos, most notably a pair...

    Race wars, class wars, anti-government riots coming to America

    As he mentions how different groups place the blame elsewhere for America's troubles, I find it odd imagining how we on EO also apportion the blame differently. As similar as we are in many respects, we're still so very different. This also brings to mind the debates we'be had about guns in...

    No way out of this financial mess?

There's no way in hell we're making it to Nov 2012 Here is an intellectually honest trader who was interviewed this morning by the BBC. As much as you may not want to believe it, what this guy says...

    Severe wx along I-75

    Just got a tweet from someone driving on I-75 (didn't say where but apparently in either KY or TN) saying it was hailing so hard, they couldn't hold a conversation in the car. A few minutes later, he tweeted that I-75 was covered in hail like it was snow.

    Too much information

    Overheard from the too-loud conversation among truck stop waitresses: "I want a baby but I don't want to do what it takes to get one," she said, slight distaste in her voice. Something went wrong in somebody's past.

    Carriers and privacy

    What does everyone think about a carrier that has no regard for your privacy, that wants increasing amounts of information? One of my companies is apparently building a database of other carriers, by name, that each unit runs for. I'm not so sure that's their business.

    Oak Park, IL to ban eating, drinking behind the wheel?

    The proposal is in an early stage. They say the next time the issue will be revisited would be early next year. Pretty soon, the only way anyone will be able to drive is with hands at 10 and 2, no talking even with passengers, and no changing the radio station unless you bring the car to a stop...

    Seen at the bottom of a menu in Fort Wayne

    " Mandatory, ambiguous government regulations and consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food-born illness." I guess the health department doesn't inspect the menus.

    Mama told me there'd be weeks like this

    Newbies and wanna-bes, pay heed. I used to run a forum for wanna-be drivers (big trucks only). I got an email from one guy who was figuring how much he could make. ".xx per mile, x 11 hours a day at 70 mph = big bucks, right?" he queried. I had to shatter his dreams, telling him why and how he...

    Indiana at it again

    According to USA Today, the Indiana Supreme Court just affirmed their ruling that one may not resist police intrusion into one's home even if that intrusion is unlawful. So this is how liberty dies...
