Doug, could you please define "rich" for me. What is the yearly gross income threshold one must cross over to be considered rich. I've always thought of myself as a member of the middle class. Yet I have benefited from Bush's tax cuts. So according you, T.C. and others I must be rich.

Panther has been keeping me very busy despite the loss of Caterpillar. It appears they have found a new and diverse customer base. I believe this is better than latching on to a few large customers. September and so far October have been good months for me.

Sardinitis or Tunaitis, well I'll be kippered! This malady has a name. Ken and David, how long after purchasing your new vehicles did the symptoms of this disease begin to disappear? I have found that the stooped back is beneficial to locating and retrieving pennies, chewing gum and...

Where's the beef?

In 1985, Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev spoke to his comrades: "My fellow Commies; Glasnost what you can do for your country, but rather what your country can do to you."

Professor, were the big machines at GM the Terex dump trucks? Those are truly monster trucks. Years ago I had a connection that got me into a taconite mine in Northern Minnesota. I was working on a presentation for an industrial processes class. I got free rein to wander the facility with my...

I'll drink to that! Good night!

Somehow I injured my head about 10 or 11 years ago. It started out as a bruise. Then a bump here, a gash there and the occasional scrape. Until today, I couldn't figure out what the cause of my cranial injuries was. Then I remembered that I am bald and live in a van.

Jack died while practicing the Blown Steer Tire Reaction Drill (http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/30100-takes-cake.html) And Jimmy went on to become the Governor of Minnesota.

Last week I delivered 4 springs for the locomotive pictured below. When I backed into the shop I noticed the locomotive, all 200 tons, was raised about 8' off the ground and supported by 4 hydraulic jacks. The wheel assembly that required the springs I was delivering was on a side track out of...

Layout, does this mean I don't get the cookie?

I'm over 50 but don't recall that line. I do remember the Kingston Trio's version of Seeger's Where Have All The Flowers Gone. Of course just about every folkie during the 60's covered that one. Thanks for the cookie!

That's because a P.M. is a PRIVATE MESSAGE! I agree with Hawk that Lawrence, Dreamer and all of the mods give us plenty of latitude. I can recall only one of my posts being pulled. RichM explained that my reply was in poor taste (in a round about way I told someone to get a gun, ammunition...

That's because it is their site and not yours. You are a guest and expected to obey the house rules. Really quite simple. The rules are even posted at the door. A private message is just that; private communication between two parties.

Thank you Steve! Too many people are concerned only with how many miles they can rack up.

Consider the next 3 months to be an educational experience, albeit an expensive education. Track Mike's loads, pay, fsc, fuel price, loaded miles, empty miles etc. as if he owned the van. Use .77/mile as the rate, 2 cents less if he is not Canadian qualified and 16 miles per gallon fuel...

Guess I will be buying longer skirts and underwear. Anybody ever drive a GMC Astro. Not much privacy in the cab of those.

The Merry Minuet. I would list who the songwriter was but it may start something.

Hey Beemer, this isn't Nazi Germany. My state "allowed" Mr. Franken to run for office because he met the criteria, paid a filing fee and was endorsed by the Democratic Farm Labor party. What are you suggesting here Beemer; the old gas oven trick? While Mr. Franken isn't my first choice or...
