    Tip.
    Don’t get spaghetti.
    No sauce.
    Thick.
    More like chili with spaghetti noodles, including bell peppers and jalapeños.

    I found a package of two Reese Cups about 10 minutes ago. I'm having a debate with myself. I figure those 2 cups are worth at least a rise of 125 blood sugar levels. Might even cause a seizure! I will have dreams about that #### package tonight!

    The day I bought my first house, within an hour, I quit my job. I worked as a Spotter for a Local Trucking Co., at a Ford plant. The last Teamster Strike in 1996 was in full force. My Company had joined the Strike a few days earlier, trying to organize and get a decent Contract. I went to the Union hall to see if any progress had been made. Nope. The Treasurer saw Me staring at the job board. Same Jobs posting that had been there for 4 yrs. It didn’t look good. He said “ Need a job Kid”? Yes Sir!! Go see so and so at such and such. Luckily Roadway, Yellow, and ABF had hired a company in Texas to negotiate on their behalf. The Teamsters countered it by allowing the other Companies to return to Work, and covering the Big Threes Freight, hoping to keep some of it, after the strike ended. So within another hour, I was on the clock making $5 hr more, a 33% increase in pay. Drastic times call for drastic measures. They worked Me 30 hrs straight on the clock. Log Book rules were suspended. We ran Local, and some Cleveland Loads. 45 mph Trucks on the clock. Good Times

    This why we love the blatant liars, and the people that believe them.

    "Mortgage rates plunge."

    Ummmmm. Nooooo.
    Mortgage rates just doubled.

    They just said Covid cases are down 90% so mandates are going away.

    It's a miracle.

    The bug ran it's course in a month and it's gone.

    It's a miracle.

    My last gig, they bought several brand new Freightliner day cabs. One in particular was a lemon. All kinds of problems. Take it to Freightliner, supposedly all fixed - I went and picked it up one occasion, its about 60 miles, before I got back it had a couple lights on the dash. AC was constantly broken.
