    Thanks for the tip! So far I have positions in gas and water, with the dividends being reinvested, of course. It’s steady, modest gains so far. A little here and a little there. In the coming years, I hope to have more capitol to work with. So far Microsoft has made me the most with the money I’ve put in. I’ve wanted to add Amazon to my portfolio but you have to buy full shares, you can’t do fractions.

    I throw my pistol in my bag when I’m sleeping in some Midwest #### hole towns. I’m allowed to carry and my boss lets drivers carry.

    I don’t carry 24/7.

    I go to Camden pretty much every night. It’s nit as bad as it used to be. The state took over the police force a few years ago and it’s made a big difference.

    The drug dealers and gang bangers still have their areas, but you learn a few simple rules and they leave you alone. I never have any issues there, but we’ve had guys that have

    There are cities in the U.S. Where after the manufacturing jobs left it just got worst. Camden, NJ. Gary, IN. Youngstown, OH. Birmingham, AL. Memphis, TN. And other places just went down bad over the years. Gary, Youngstown, and Birmingham were once big steel cities. But when that industry started going down. Those cities seem to go into absolute horrible futures!!!

    That's good news.

    I had a boss give me 100 dollars to cross that big bridge into Camden sort of as a extra pay for the danger. I finally ended up moving away from that particular type of work that put me into that part of Philly back in the 80's

    The attention required for Camden was such that even today I can remember each of the trips I made there.

    I still can't figure out why you think that's your problem and not the carrier's? Someone wants your load, trailer and/or truck? They can have it.

    It's unfortunate. Maybe the Western Maryland initilive will succeed and they can make at least that part a free state again.

    I know Arkansas has my love and home, but Maryland has forgotten it's history and possibly forsaken it. That needs to be made right. Most people don't know much about Maryland, we called it "Little America" because we have everything except diamonds there. But not true freedom.

    I'll get off the soap box. Coffee time I think.

    Just by having that value in the back of the truck exposes you more than some dude driving a corolla. Never said would or wouldn't confront someone breaking into the trailer.

    Besides that, I might wake up in the middle of the night and find myself surrounded by wild Indians (you'll never know).

    Its not the company i'd be worried about its the long arm of the law if they ever catch you carrying a weapon in your truck. Your best off buying a large Rottweiler.
