    Noonan, eh?
    Props, New Englander. I see VT in your profile... work out of Rutland? (I grew up about 30 miles South, just below Poultney.)

    Lethal Weapons 3 is pretty good.

    Rene Russo is really good... she seems to fit Mel Gibson very nicely. I think they would make a nice couple.

    Danny Glover is terrific. I always like him.

    Lethal Weapon and Diehard were both good movies.

    Everyone should dress however they like, and not how someone else feels they should. Levi's and a ball cap, don't make the driver more skilled than the others are.

    Huh? Levi's and ball caps? Nothing to do with skills? No one said they did.

    A select few do think that a driver should fit only their idea of what all drivers should dress in. Not saying it is the majority of people who think that way, as it isn't. But a few do think that all drivers should dress how they are dressed, not necessarily Levi's and a ballcap, but it gets my point across.

    You're so right. The more dopes who wear flip flops and tank tops and look like they need a bath, the better it is for those who have pride in their appearence.

    I’ve seen enough Stupid Trucker Shirts to last a lifetime. Some are ok. But others are rediculous. Recently saw one that said “ Do you even shift Dude?” I mean enough is enough. What it does show me though is how many are Proud to be a Truckdriver including myself, which is a good thing. I catch myself mentioning that I’m a Truckdriver but no one seems to care. Lol. Average Person has no idea what is all involved. I’ve heard “All you’re doing is Driving”. Yeah that’s all!!
