I fell in love with Community Coffee when I lived in NO, and try to keep it in the truck. [It's also the house blend @ Ruby Tuesday] I love Tim Horton's, too.

That is a good week, and you have a really good attitude, too: I love the 'Be safe, dry, and kind' line. It perfectly covers what I try to manage - though safe is the only one I have been consistent about, lol. ;)

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Over in Westminster. I was going to cruise to Spartanburg to get the truck washed [and maybe visit my cousin & her swimming pool, lol] until I saw where someone picked up a load here recently, so now I think...

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Running hot freight and looking for shade after delivery today, lol: Milwaukee to SC. Oboy, I believe I can get the truck washed tomorrow! [Got a new "No Mopes" decal that deserves a clean place;)] Last...

The stretch of 90 in downtown Cleveland with the 35 mph curve - it's a scary thing to be behind a trucker that doesn't slow down enough, because the curve wasn't banked correctly, and you really do need to go slow. I think the EB detour around it is permanent, though. Another thing that scares...

Haha - I totally forgot about the 'Cheri & Garcia' EO bumpersticker, lol. Because it's a magnet, and doesn't stick to the truck. [I'm just glad you weren't there with a camera when I slapped it on the door, and it fell on the ground] I haven't been a blonde since I was little, but sometimes I...

As you said: we, the people, voluntarily chose to fund the government in order that it carry out basic tasks for the common welfare. Once taxes are collected, they are no longer our personal money, and we have no control [beyond the voting booth & impeachment process] over how that money is...

If, for the sake of argument, the public has the right to decide what the recipients of public monies have no business 'wasting' money on, why is there not a whisper of discontent regarding the recipients of public monies who earn billions? Why is corporate welfare not a subject for moral...

Should they be allowed to have guns and fishing tackle for killing their food, or should they just 'man up' because those are luxuries that only working folks deserve? And if we let them have guns and tackle, what kind of restrictions should be placed on them? Saturday night specials aside...

They can't help being anti Obama on every issue just because he is Obama, it's what they've done since he was elected [the first time], and they have a lot invested in that position. :rolleyes: I think you're giving Obama too much credit, myself. He got lucky when the citizens spoke loud &...

That tattoo is amazing! Bob's far from the first 'wanker' to be so honored, but I bet he's the most deserving. Since I reached my tattoo limit [1] about 35 years ago, I just left Kenzie's name on the passenger door. They really are never forgotten by those who loved them.

Waaah - I can't be in Mobile Fri! I mean, I could, but I wouldn't be rested - I'm on my way to Wisconsin now for delivery tomorrow. Seriously: I 'preciate the offer, but you need to find someone who can do it for you, cause I can't, and I don't drive for anyone other than Load 1 now. I thought...

Post #50 is an example of just one way it's already getting pretty ugly.

Not at all. Capitalism is the most effective system, but it requires the same restraints on antisocial tendencies as every other human activity. The genius of the Constitution is the recognition that power corrupts if left unchecked, and in the balance it created to address that. We've allowed...

Or, we could be stupid enough to assume that the 'international community', the Russians, Assad, and our own government are all anxious to start another incredibly [and I mean that literally] expensive and lengthy war that could be the last one on Earth. Yeah, but I'd rather believe they're not...

Great link! Only, it should say simple exercises, because push ups are not easy - for some of us, lol. He's right, though, there are no real good excuses for not getting some exercise every day.

I did it - as Zorry said, might help, can't hurt. And thanks, TeamCaffee, for providing the link, and trying to make things better, however we can.

I'd like to credit you with just basic intelligence, if not current knowledge of the trucking industry, but when you type things like "next 2-3 predecessors" [predecessors coming before, not after, which the 'pre' is a clue regarding], it's really, really, hard.

You're right about dogs - my late Boston Terrier/Pug Kenzie cracked me up most when she wasn't trying, like when she was so into rolling in the grass that she fell off the curb, or when she was afraid to step on the grass because of a wicked scary mushroom, lol. Your dog looks like someone good...

Pragmatists know that unrestrained capitalism has a nasty way of becoming fascism. Because it's human nature for the greedy to keep taking, until they are stopped. We can do much better at creating a balance by considering working as parts of a team, with a common goal, rather than adversaries...
