That's good. Maybe they'll resume maintaining their properties. I've been at some Js the last few weeks that are falling apart. Amazing how fast they deteriorate if you cut back on maintenance. The J north of Baltimore is really falling apart. Or, otoh, if Pilot starts calling the shots...

I'm guessing that's probably a couple years old.

WOO-HOO!!! That's almost as good as the Sox winning the World Series...almost.

And it's so much worse in expediting, being that people are much more confident that they can learn to drive a smaller truck or just step into a CV and go...There are already too many of us out here, and more are on the way.

I don't think much of Ross Pee-rot, but I guess he knew what he was talking about when he characterized NAFTA as a big, sucking sound vacuuming American jobs south of the border. We brought it on ourselves. I mean, that was the genesis of much of our problem today.

Yes, one of the goals of the Public Fool System is to perpetuate the system. Create dolts who can't think, instill in them a sense of entitlement, and this is what you get. Someone once said, "If you send your children to Catholic school, you have a reasonable expectation that they'll see...

Another example of the Public Fool System in action: The shower terminal in the driver's area is out of order, so everybody has to go to the fuel desk to get a shower. A sign taped on the shower terminal says: "Please go to field desk." Really.

Massive, near total turnover would be great, but it ain't gonna happen. The electorate will calm down to a point, traditional Demon-crat voter fraud will kick in gear, and a terrorist scare or two will keep things business as usual. If voting could change anything, it would be illegal. I'd...

Imagine the lines if Denny's improved themselves by a factor of 6000... Then they'd rise to the level of almost adequate.

While at the travesty of a truckstop, the glorified 7-11 known as the Flying J in Commerce, GA, I saw a sign advertising their price on small bottles of soda. These aren't the 20oz ones, but smaller, for .99. At the bottom of the sign, it says, "Everyday low value." Really. I've seen the...

I wonder if this would have flown about 20-25 years ago, back when we had a Bill of Rights and common sense.

What new buffet menu is this? Every one I go to always has the same stuff on it: baked/fried/broiled chicken or any 2 of them; mac & cheese, pasta with marinara and/or alfredo; sausage & peppers; baked fish filets; mashed potatoes and gravy; either ham or turkey; and last but not least, the...

General question: how long did it take you to make your money back on your investments of insulation, generator, and AC/heat unit? I've got to figure out the best way to pitch these to my owner.

I read or heard on the radio something about the growing thoughts that maybe Obama might have some mental health problems. Narcissism, for sure, and maybe a dash of paranoia. Whenever anyone mentions that "it was just time" for a black president, I always think, "Fine, but couldn't you have...

When compressed air-powered vehicles were being developed in Europe, I thought, "Fantastic!" But then I read that to make a car run on compressed air, it has to be kept small and light, and small and light won't meet American safety standards for crashes. Can't one just use a bigger compressor...

I'm pretty sure it's our air. If it's not, then please keep your air away from my air.

Yes, hand washing, but I'm not proposing a law here, just saying it can be the public's business when someone conducts themselves in a manner that spreads their germs around. Exhaling shouldn't be illegal, no, unless, of course, they're exhaling a toxic smoke that displaces oxygen in my...

We have sanitation laws in general. If you don't contract with someone to take your trash from your home or otherwise take it to the dump, you're going to get a visit from the local constabulary because your actions are threatening others' health. There are laws in some places against exposing...

And it only becomes anybody else's business if you touch anything else in the room. Like smoking, it's only my business if the smoker chooses to exhale. Anybody follow baseball? Moises Alou followed the example of his father when he began intentionally peeing on his hands before a game...

Well, it's SUPPOSED to be personal, and that's based on the assumption that people are adults and don't expose others to their filth. Once they do, it properly becomes public. It's the old right-to-swing-your-fist argument. One's right to be a pig stops when he's in public and exposing others...
