    From NPR report.....

    The crash took place at about 3:40 a.m., approximately 30 miles from Pittsburgh, as a tour bus traveling to Cincinnati rolled over and was then hit by two tractor trailers, according to Stephen Limani, a public relations officer for the Pennsylvania State Police.


    Limani said the crash was similar to a chain reaction and involved a bus operated by the Z&D Tour company.


    "As they were traveling on that bus, it was headed on a downhill grade and the bus was unable to negotiate a corner. That bus went up an embankment, rolled over and then was subsequently struck by two tractor trailers," Limani said at a press conference. "Another tractor trailer came and collided with those two tractor trailers, and there was another passenger car that was also involved in this crash."

    Looks like tour bus started the mess. And the stereo-typed piled in. I'm wondering what's up with the "passenger car"?

    I need one of those. just replaced our Husky trimmer this past summer with a Stihl, I almost bought the Kombi System model. lots of cool attachments, but I didn't want to take a chance. Husqvarna quality sure has tanked, I'll never buy another.
    the Stihl blower, saw, and new trimmer we have are excellent. the little BG 50 blower gets the most use in winter, beats shoveling the deck and sweeping snow off the vehicles. the wifey loves it

    Best CB ive ever owned is my daily running radio... Picked it up from my father-in-law for $50 when he retired. Its a Cobra 148 GTL one of the old ones with the 5 pin Mic plug on the side. Had to get an adapter to use my Astatic 4 pin Mic.

    It gets out better than any of the cheap units, even after they have been peaked and tuned. I could make improvements in the antenna and co-ax cables, but I dont see the point... I can already talk to most people before I can hear them.

    Why not run tires with enough rating to go 13k on steers? All our trucks are spec'ed to run 12,500 on the steers... Axle being the limiting factor.

    The Japs and the Germans both had aircraft with 20 MM cannons... Most of ours only had .50 cals. But .50's are lighter, more reliable, and have a much higher rate of fire. We might have had a few with the big 20 but I'm not sure.
