    Roger Clemens

    He's an absolute stone-cold lock for the Hall of Fame. If he admits to steroids of HGH, he instantly has zero chance of getting in. None whatsoever. He's playing a dangerous game. Either he's innocent, or he's positive that no one can prove he did anything. Problem is, all the noise he's made...

    Logging

    I think the folks at the FMSCA had reeeeeaaaaallyyy strict parents, and they're getting even.

    Sign of "things to come...Maybe

    Don't let the subtleties of the fact that a first-generation Latina, born of Mexican immigrants (Patti), was replaced with a black woman from Kansas City (Maggie). Immigration issues won't get Hillary elected, but when Bill and others made racial-esque remarks just before the SC primary, it...

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    I gotta tell ya, it seems to me that, if you think you have something to add to a thread, you should read the thread first. But that's just me. Regardless, I had a tinkling of a notion that this thread, like many others, had a wee wee bit of a chance of a personal jab of one kind or another. I...

    Running in -25 Temps

    About 8 or 10 years ago, before I was expediting, I had a job that took me many places, one of which was a northwestern North Dakota town called Williston. I headed there for three days at the end of July expecting to get a much needed relief from the balmy southern 90 degree temps of places...

    Be prepared for the "FEAR FACTOR"

    Romney officially "suspended" his campaign. A suspended campaign means that Romney holds all of his delegates until he releases them or they request to be released from their pledge. So those delegates are pledged to Romney, and they stay with him until he releases them. He might resume his...

    Canada Clearance?

    For certain things, like a border crossing, can't the sleeper berth time be interrupted for up to 15 minutes without having to restart it? I dunno, as I'm in a van. Just asking. Panther won't put placardable hazmat on a van, even the kind that can go on there with no problems, but I used to log...

    Future technology

    Xm took a little liberty with calling it the first hand held calculator, I think. There were several hand held calculators that hit the market in 1971, in several different stages of new technology, but they all rapidly became the small pocket calculators that we know today, with LED displays...

    Exactly. You can take all the pictures in the world, make all the phone calls you want, and the only thing that will happen is, nothing will change. It might make you feel better, but that won't change a thing. If the problem was that big, that serious, the parking lots would be well lit and...

    I find it objectionable, too. My goal is to get them to stop it. I just think there's a better way to do it than by going out of my way to get them into trouble. I know for a fact that I can waste my time a little more frivolously than by sitting around and practicing to become the fastest...

    The number one retirement spot for Canadians is Florida. Number two is Arizona. There's a reason for that.

    Seen it all ????

    Making that delivery to the nuclear sub, USS North Carolina, at the shipyard in Newport News was pretty neat, but probably the kewlest place I've ever delivered to was deep inside the mountain near Promontroy, Utah where Thiokol builds and refurbishes, among other things, the Shuttle's Solid...

    Panther Drivers what do you think?

    Well, it was explained to me that, before, where you were sitting on multiple boards, everybody on all of those boards were effectively lumped into a single FIFO board, anyway, and that with the new system those boards would be combined into a single board, thereby eliminating the need to be on...

    As gross and disgusting as public urination is, let's not once again overreact and work so hard at fake outrage and 'OMG! I'm soooo offended.' It's not like all of a sudden people have discovered that you can urinate in the great outdoors. I do find it a little hard to believe that someone...
