    Fuel for Thought To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate - The COVID Saga Rages On. Part 3

    That's not true. The mandate is only for the people who work in the McCopCo offices (McDonald's Corporation), mainly in Chicago, but at the other McCopCo offices, as well. It also applies to vendors and contractors who visit the corporate offices. The mandate explicitly excludes any and all...

    Common Sense* Anti Protest

    Uhm, no. The truckers in DC weren't looking for handouts or more regulations, they were protesting a sudden lack of broker transparency and brokers literally price gouging during an emergency.

    It's a Team's Life Wildlife

    One time east of Klamath Falls, OR, on my way down to Winnemucca, NV, i drove 250 miles without seeing another car. The occasional road kill, but that was it. After sundown I pulled off the side of the road to, uhm, uhm, cool off a tire. As I stood there I looked up ahead and in the headlights...

    It's a Team's Life Bass Pro Shop – Memphis, TN

    This is just a shot I found on the Internet, but it shows pretty well what I remember. The ceiling was all lighting rafters, but I don't recall for sure if it was open all the way to the pyramid point. You never got the sense from the inside that it was a pyramid, though. That scoreboard raises...

    It's a Team's Life Bass Pro Shop – Memphis, TN

    I do plan to check it out. It was pretty open for concerts, because it was set up for basketball games with all the seating and stuff. For most of the concerts, they'd block off a quarter to a third of the seats what would be behind the stage, but it was still wide open. The Dixie Chicks was...

    It's a Team's Life Bass Pro Shop – Memphis, TN

    I haven't been in there since it reopened as a Bass Pro Shops. But I did go there for several concerts. James Taylor, Aerosmith, Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John/Billy Joel, Paul Simon/Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, and the first concert I saw there, Jimmy Buffett.

    It's a Team's Life Odd question at Border Patrol Check Point

    Odd that they'd put a civilian into a truck they'd just found two people hiding in, without first checking that it was safe to do so.

    Fuel for Thought Your Point of View

    The reason for that particular sign (and the dinosaur) is that the facility is a dual generating station using twin nuclear reactors (Westinghouse pressurized water reactors - Units 3 and 4), as well as three fossil units (two 400-megawatt oil/natural gas generation units - Units 1 and 2, and...

    Fuel for Thought Are you a LLC?

    It cracks me up how many people will refuse to pass you using the far left lane on a 3 lane road. You're in the middle lane, not impeding traffic at all, and here comes someone in the middle lane behind you, and they will not move to the left lane to pass. They will wait until it's clear, then...

    Our Life on the Road Dangers To Be Aware Of When Out On The Road

    2 AM Montana back roads, deer. You betcha. Unless you've experienced, it you can't imagine it. It's not much different from driving through the streets of the French Quarter during Mardi Gras. OK, it's not quite that crowded, but it's close. (Although driving through Roundup, MT at 2 AM is...

    Fuel for Thought Eureka !

    Yeah, not really advisable. You want to be at least as far back as to see the side mirrors of the vehicle in front of you. You see drafting sometimes, mainly out west, where 3 or more trucks are drafting each other. Drafting spreads out the resistance between all of the vehicles and makes it...

    Fuel for Thought Eureka !

    That's also why parallel train tracks are as far apart as they are. For slow moving trains, though towns and in rail yards, 13 feet is normal. For curves and higher speed trains it's 15 feet. For high speed trains the distance between the center of each track needs to be 20 feet. Otherwise the...

    Fuel for Thought Nice Cans!

    At the small grocery store I often go to when I'm at home, and the Dollar General Store, yes I do. If one is handy in my way into a Walmart or a Kroger, I'll take one in with me.

    Fuel for Thought Nice Cans!

    I agree 100%. It's not like they aren't going to walk right past a trash can on the way in to get something to eat or take a shower. :fuelpump::toilet::pizza::shower:
