    It could be a Chinese developer. Where the Chinese economy is based on creating housing and cities that no one lives in.
    Tho they have a low unemployment rate because of the buildings

    movie factoid: The producers didnt want to slander the chip maker of the time. So they lowered all the letters in IBM and made HAL.

    Depending on what sources you go by,
    HAL is 22,27 or 28 years old.

    Right in the middle at 50 or 60 below, your truck is gonna break, and you could find yourself in a life threatening situation.

    Not your truck might break, it will break, unless its set up for arctic temps.

    Yeah that's my concern... I've got the gear to survive myself on the truck... But metal, glass, and plastics all get extremely brittle at those temps.

    Think I'll see if dispatch can get me something else going further south. Arizona and Texas sound good... But my company doesn't currently run down there... Kentucky will have to do.
