    sounds selfish to me......just so the dude wouldn't run into yo stuff..........good karma diminishing by the second.
    And I'll add an 'amen' to @Dale thompson sugar free gummi comment. I mean, what's the point?

    . No that was self preservation (protecting your truck) not exactly a random act of kindness more like every man for himself.

    I wasn't worried about our truck, I was concerned about the truck on the other side, and that driver possibly damaging his driving record, and violating his HOS though.

    A few years ago, a good friend of mine invited me to go to dinner with him and his wife. Went to a place called Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse in downtown Ft Worth. My ribeye was $99. He got fresh Lobster with his steak. Check came to close to $400. I told him that the steak was great, which it was, but that I could never enjoy it if I was the one paying for it.

    Well now a days, you just need to walk through any city on the west coast, or east coast to be involved in an armed assault.

    Ok he's parked.

    That's six bags of candy credits.

    So The OM thinks Dale and Opus better get off their ##### and get busy.
