    Inuit's risky mussel harvest under sea ice

    Can you imagine being the lookout who gets too excited and yells too loud about the returning tide? The ice cracks and kills a bunch of harvesters. I'm thinking the other villagers' reaction would be a little more than, "Way to go, Gilligan!"

    Ohio "Finally" has a Governor with guts

    Wyoming has passed a law against federal enforcement of Commie-care. Any fed who enforces it in the state can go to the graybar hotel. Felony.

    Neanderthals were not ugly because of the cold, new research finds

    This is crap. Neanderthals were homo sapiens, contrary to conventional wisdom.

    Democrat Cringes As Russian Immigrants Compare Communism to…Democrats!

    Get statements like that out of your system. The Demon-crats (and their bootlicking compadres in the other wing of the ruling party) will outlaw that kind of statement before long. Oh, what Loughner wrought... Don't think it won't happen. The PATRIOT Act happened, didn't it?

    gone camping

    Reminds me of the guy whose wife was tired of him golfing every weekend. She had put her foot down. Yet, Saturday morning came, and there he was. "How'd you get out of the house?" his friends asked. "When I woke up this morning," he replied, "I asked my wife, 'Golf course, or intercourse?"...

    business sense/TA shower credits

    I recently found out that TA/Petro limits customers to 2 frequent fueler rewards per day. Was on a long trip and fueled at TA several times that day and later wondered where my shower credits were. Turns out that I had gotten all to which I was entitled, given the 2 points loads per day...

    minimizing my mistake

    Just accepted a load from the LA area to a small town in central Utah. Right after I told him to place the bid, I thought, "Oh, crap, I shouldn't have taken that one." Just my luck, we win the bid, after losing out on two good loads that would have taken me back to civilization. To get...

    this church is so wrong

    Public parks can be rented, and people excluded, and they're public places. So what's the difference?

    Will the D-12 defend this?

    I don't like JBTs who think we're all in basic training and they're the instructor. I don't like the ones who have a propensity to use force or who believe they exist to issue orders. I don't like the ones who think they're above being questioned. I don't like the ones who cover up for other...

    this church is so wrong

    What if, every time there was going to be such a funeral that these people were going to protest, the cemetery rented the whole property to the family. That would allow them to exclude the protesters. They could still allow other families who were also having funerals at the time, and...

    How many of you are using U Ship for return loads?

    Talked to a guy in VA a few days ago who says that's all he does. Used to expedite, but switched to U-ship, says he's doing pretty good.

    who is slow

    Pretty busy the last week. Milwaukee-South Carolina, Virginia to California... Now if I can just get a load out. Bid on a couple loads out so far but don't think I got them, though.

    Will the D-12 defend this?

    I'm sure they're more likely to take what you say at face value and believe it uncritically. The things you say are on the video aren't there; you're assuming them from what you can see.

    Supposition. Or when cop chose to assault the victim. No telling at this point. The victim's head is visible only briefly on the video, and and it isn't clear what happened on the ground. The only thing that's clear on the video is the cop grabbed a guy and struck him repeatedly. We could...

    Carrier/customer. That's my understanding, but it wasn't said in so many words.

    Will the D-12 defend this?

    There are many, many examples of rampaging cops intimidating people into surrendering their camera equipment and deleting their photos. Here's actually a mild example: Photography Is Not A Crime: Coral Gables Police Delete Ladies Images And then there are states in which the state claims...

    iPad, Droid pad, or Droid phone?

    Not for a while. The last pair I enjoyed watching was Tom Baker and Sarah. I've never warmed up to any of the successors. "Back off, or I'll kill him with this deadly Jelly Baby." "Go ahead, kill him." "I don't take orders from anybody." (pops Jelly Baby in his mouth and eats it)

    Lied to over and over and over and over and over

    I think it's the same with all of them. If you're going to stop while on a load because of ice, you have to state specifically, "It is unsafe to continue." I was on an NLM load like that one time, and the dispatcher said I had to state that specifically. It's in the contract that a load isn't...
