    Truckstops and cleanliness

    Hey guido... I don't eat seafood nor pizza. Mostly bland foods, nothing exotic. I will, however, eat ice cream until I am catatonic.

    CSA 2010 and vans

    I have been called in for random drug screens four times in the last seven years. Twice while I was at home( in service, available for loads) and twice out-of-town while in service and available for loads. My frustration was these calls would come at mid-day or late afternoon and interrupt...

    Sprinter Buying Advice?

    Rabbit, you've had an outstanding day. You just saved $25,000 hard earned dollars. Sprinters aren't an entry level vehicle, that's for sure. Rolling the dice with a much cheaper used Ford or GM van is a good start. There is a business near where I live, Superior Mobility of Lexington,KY...

    Truckstops and cleanliness

    Gregor... you shouldn't take my response literally or seriously. I have no idea what standards, if any, are aspired to here in El Paso. Kidding aside, the food was fine.

    Truckstops and cleanliness

    Happy Cinco de Mayo! Just finished the breakfast buffet here at the Flying J in El Paso. I can report the highest possible standards for food handling and sanitation are well known at this location. An important looking certificate on the wall verifies their training. Does their knowledge...

    I'm a mongrel. My mother came from Lexington.

    Truckstops and cleanliness

    Mr Turtle... I have been enjoying the Flying J buffet once or twice a week for the past ten years. Scrumptious food at reasonable prices. Ten years and never felt sick. Perhaps, my bugs devour their bugs. Natural immunity or something.

    Ah, Janet Napolitano. Another female about to be laid low by the Peter Principle.

    Oil spill worsens

    Maybe we should stick with drilling on dry land. We can respond much more effectively to land based situations. Trying to manipulate physical disasters at deep ocean depths will be clumsy, costly and perhaps, ineffectual. Wanna drill for oil in Sarah Palin's backyard? ANWR.

    NYC's Times Square closed

    We got lucky again. An alert vendor helped avert what could have been an act of terrorism. The car bomb failed to explode. Will the relative ease of placing a car bomb in the center of NYC inspire copycats with murderous intent? It is a very worrisome possibility. God forbid a terrorist...

    Who is Vera Baker?

    I've tried watching Glenn Beck's program, but can't. He's so clownish, I find myself wincing five minutes into his program. Yes, Glenn's an entertainer. Way too conspiratorial for my taste. I'm not sure why Fox News would diminsh their brand by bringing Glenn on board. He does draw huge...

    Who is Vera Baker?

    Rhodes... I suspect you are known by many names here at EO.

    Who is Vera Baker?

    The venerable National Enquirer pays good money for lies/truth. I am not aware they engage in cover-ups. If the story has legs, it will eventually gain momentum. If false, may it die a quick death. The NE is often six months ahead of the liberal press. Who's this Glenn Beck guy?

    NYC's Times Square closed

    Yep. The police have cordoned off an area surrounding a Nissan Pathfinder containing black powder, propane tanks, etc. The Nissan has stolen plates which belong to a Ford vehicle. Lots of speculation in these early reports. I am watching this on TV at home. Anyone with XM radio could follow...

    NYC's Times Square closed

    MSNBC is giving live coverage to an event in NYC tonight. Whatever happened, Times Square has been shut down. Has that happened before, other than Sept 11th?

    Pilgrim... looking at the timeline of events. Wouldn't that be May 2nd rather than Sept 2nd?

    Who is Vera Baker?

    Drudge Report broke the Monica Lewinsky story several years ago. Now comes the tale of Vera Baker. National Enquirer is insinuating the lovely Vera Baker was/is Obama's paramour from his days as a US Senator. I don't believe, if true, such a scandal would topple Obama's presidency. It could...

    Team Obama's "First Responders" were largely a contingent of lawyers rushed to the scene.
