    Climate Change

    In November 2000, Mother Earth went through a brief polarity change. Showing her disdain for Al Gore, she pulled off a poll reversal in Florida giving the state and presidency to George W. Bush.

    Climate Change

    I suppose I could make it complex by taking my compass apart and removing the needle. I could then paint the red end of the needle white and the white end red, then reassemble it.

    One never heard Efrem Zimbalist Jr. say: "Let's load up the Custom 500" or "J. Edgar is queerer than a three dollar bill".

    Former member Brisco (banned) was a good source of info for hotshot and RV hauling. Maybe his alias will reply to this thread. There are several hotshot boards out there. Google hotshot.

    Extra income for expeditors

    I have tried several different schemes to make extra money on the road. None of mine are on your list. Maybe that's why they all failed.

    Obama guilty

    The earth will always adapt. We could detonate every nuclear device today and the earth and many life forms will adapt. Man might have some difficulty but Mother Earth is one tough chick.

    Obama guilty

    I can't walk around a gun show with a loaded gun but I can go into a Chilis with a loaded rifle slung over my shoulder. Is this a great country or what!
