    So I am still camped out at Pepsi. Lumpers on the way. There is a Penske box truck that Pepsi is renting. The driver left the lights on. I did the proper thing and told the dock guy. He just shook his head and walked away. Not his problem I guess. Would be too hard to tell someone. He's union and 2 years from retirement. That’s probably the reason.

    So yesterday evening before it was dark there was this elk thingy standing in the road.

    And we're doing about 60.

    And it's just standing there looking at Blackie bearing down on him going," I'm a baby elk. And I'm part of the new generation of elk that's entitled."

    Guess it was a newer cow? One year cow?

    So The OM was driving and gives it the air horn.

    So it turns around, stands there for a second, then goes back the way it came.

    Well, here's the good news, truck is out of the shop with a new radiator.
    Bad news is that they didn't check the tires like I asked them to.
    So, back to the shop we go.

    They just gave you a new tire the other day. Now you want another one?

    I thought we'd discussed the cost effectiveness of those caps, and the overall benefit they have to corporate?

    There is no "I" in team.
