    There may be internet services between Brazil and America that you have to jump through. If TTR's main servers are in Sarasota then our Sonnet for the USA is probably Tampa or Miami. It will take a certain amount of time for data to get across from you to here and back.

    In my time data is passed between you and TTR by a series of routers or hops on the long haul networks. Usually fiber cable across the sea or by satellite up and over. Or a combination of the two. Thats not something we worry about generally. As long the addressing and sites you want resolve properly.

    Thats one reason I hate those little Reefer tanks, say 30 gallons.

    Thats like a squeeze on the fast high flows. Most of it comes back to you.

    If I am over tired and see something really obvious, I would end up making a total idiot to all the world to point and laugh. Don't worry. that too shall pass.

    A very long time ago a person on the table phone at Petro kept saying totes. I was thinking large carboys of chemical fluid, call it 200 gallons or whatever each in a van... so I listen a little bit and its not making sense.

    Asked another driver if he knows if the totes were the same kind that I had in mind, he laughed and said no, thats the new generation slang for totally.

    Figures.

    Y'all are wrong the worse drivers are in Reno. I rarely go through there when there isn't at least one wreck that is with a population of 248,000

    Ever drive through those super small towns of maybe 5k people... And the main Street has like 4 towing companies with really nice equipment??? Makes a fella wonder how many of the population of such towns actually hold a drivers licence vs those that just drive because they can.

    So calling CA the commie state... is that not political speech in the open forums?

    If not, I'll gladly see just where the line is drawn.

    Traffic may be a problem in the Nashville and east area today, they had tornados come through downtown and east towards the Hermitage area. A number dead and will know more when sun comes up.

    I believe in this case it is only an observation of satire toward the state of confusion. Just my thoughts with out political beliefs

    It's a proper name, not a political point of view. We don't use politics in the snows thread, so if you want to test the waters, do it someplace else.
