    Because we CAN.... technology has allowed us to improve our lives, so why not use things that are now normal in society?

    My company told me that if the heat or a/c stops working tell them immediately. They don't want me driving without it. So hey, company policy.

    Back in the "old" days, the guys used to take little speed pills that kept them awake long enough to go to california and back 3 times with no sleep. Should we go back to that too?
