When you know where you are, it's amusing: again today, my Garmin says "off road" when I'm on Inkster, near Load 1. Mine also likes to send me off in the wrong direction when I leave the parking lot, so I tap the bar that shows the next few turns to see if it is being retarded.

When you have to resort to sarcasm, it's time to give it up, lol. G'night, Xiggi. ;)

Either way, principles don't pay the bills, but cheap freight will, if they can just get enough of it. People generally want to work, earn their own way, pay their own bills - that's the fundamental nature of most people that the CRs pretend doesn't exist.

It's time to quit bashing Bush already. :D

P: the people who run [or work] cheap do it because they can't afford to hold out for the big picture - they need to eat today. And there's just waaaay too many of those people in the US today.

Sure, P, the tax cuts worked so well at reducing unemployment, we've been in a recession worse than any since the big one: Depression. And for mostly the same reasons: business is buying legislation that benefits them. And those mega million dollar bonuses make US companies the most productive...

That a bisexual person prefers one gender or the other doesn't "prove" they had any choice in being attracted to either gender, because that part happened without any input from them. I didn't choose to be heterosexual, and I do not believe anyone can choose to be hetero, homo, or any other...

I have read of people who admit to having been abducted by aliens, but my common sense [and all of the history of proven facts] says they're deluded. C'mon, Xiggi, you know people don't get to choose who they're sexually attracted to - it just doesn't work that way.

Education isn't about money - maybe officials need to look around for what is actually working [even if it's in another country], and figure out how to make it work for us. Unemployment is about money, but the government keeps subsidizing it by giving money [mostly tax breaks] to businesses who...

I don't know about hate, but the message is definitely that some people matter less than others, and women, minorities, poor, and working class people only matter in the voting booth - after that, they can take a long walk off a short pier, for all the CRs care. It's ironic how many truckers...

I do not " believe in some fairy tale and a good story" or "fairy tale way of thinking" - I'm an atheist, remember? I don't know if Obama said that or not, but the conservative Republicans are the ones who keep deluding themselves that people reject their message because they don't understand it...

Intransit: both buying your own van & driving someone else's have pros & cons, but having done both myself, I'd say buying your own is the better choice. Even if you find expediting [or living in a 'tuna can', as some call it] isn't going to work out for you, a cargo van isn't too hard to sell...

If conservative Republicans keep insisting that those who reject their message simply didn't get the message [how insulting is that?!] and think they need "another vehicle for transmitting the message", then maybe they could try the Shriner Circus Clown Cars. They'd still be the Party of...

Post 129 is a crystal clear illustration of the potential for a horrible life that convinces so many homosexuals to commit suicide - especially adolescents. [But that's also a sin!] The wasted potential of it all is what makes it even worse. How many Alan Turings can we afford to lose?

I think you have social media confused with the Soapbox: social media collects and saves everyone's data, and can 'remind' people about something [a group, event, product, whatever] they 'liked' even long after the person has forgotten. Granted, I haven't seen facebook [which is the only one I...

When Steve Jobs finally met Will Rogers? :rolleyes:

With an Audible membership costing $22 per month for 2 credits, each book can be purchased for 1 credit, or about $11. I plan to get all 3, too. But first, I put them on my wishlist, because Audible is running a contest [until July 15] that awards your entire wishlist [well, up to $300] to 10...

When I get a QC msg while moving, I don't even know it until I stop: the unit sits upside down [because the light annoys me at night] on a cabinet that seems built for the purpose, and I keep it muted. Ditto the GPS, because I like it quiet. I don't mind if the nav system doesn't work for me...
