Swift and Old Dominion are the worst. With Swift being based out of Phoenix, I can't go anywhere without getting trapped behind on of their rigs

When Gyro's attack....

Not the sandwich.  Gyro copter land on Capital Building grounds is piloted by disgruntled Postal employee (bonus on that for the Postal employee) who is pissed over Congress lack of control over campaign finance laws.  He had 500 some letters he was delivering to each member of Congress.  The copter was painted with the USPS logo.  How it got to the Capitol building without being stopped by a ground to air missile is now being debated.  Drones and Gyro copters can invade the Capitol city, it appears, with impunity (word of the day).

That's right folks, you just can't make this stuff up.

We have Transvestites attacking the NSA, drunk Secret Service agents and the DEA having sex club parties.   What excitement we have here.  It's priceless I tell you, priceless.

Seals and Crofts, before they were "Seals and Crofts", were in another band, that band was called "The Champs". and their claim to fame was a little song called "Tequila".

I did not know this! So of course I had to check it out. Looks as if Seals and Crofts came on board after Tequila.

Why do waterproof gloves now have the long gauntlet?

Doesn't having the glove opening outside the waterproof, allegedly, jacket allow the gloves to fill with water?

I ask because my *short* waterproofs gave up after several years and need to be replaced.

I have long gloves also and trying to stuff that in under jacket cuffs is damn near impossible, so those are reserved for mostly dry/warmer weather.

Rick Derringer, of "Rock-N-Roll Hoochtie Coo" fame was in a band before he was famous for that song, the band was "The Mcoys", their song was a little ditty known to many here in Ohio as "Hang On Sloopy", of which I hope never to hear, made mention of, depict with marching band members, spell, sign, whistle, hum, pantomime, vote on, or otherwise used in any commercial venture I may come in contact with ever again in my natural life in any shape, form or iteration.

Jim, I live 24 hours at a time in the firehouse with 9 other men, the one thing you learn the first day you work is never, EVER tell anyone about something that bothers you, because if you do, it will never be forgotten and you will rue the day you ever mentioned it as those guys will mercilessly taunt and do that very thing you don't like just because you mentioned it. Nothing I say or do here is ever close to becoming anything near what I live at the firehouse, ever. ;D

We are a bit handicapped due to this being a family forum.
