    Because you are very disturbed? Like the rest of us misfits in WIIS.

    We're kind of like the claymation misfit toys from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

    This is the land of Misfit Truckers.

    That's where this is headed. Just like "pilots" flying drones halfway around the world, trucks will be going remote operated. I think the autonomous stuff is just a smoke screen. The tech development can be used for either application.
    Problem is, it ain't gonna be Americans driving those trucks.

    Oh yes... Ive taken bullracks into places most folks say trucks shouldnt, or cant go... Can get REAL interesting, REAL fast. Lol

    A few places I even had to be pulled in and out with very large farm tractors to get through the mud.

    I like cats... But they have a serious problem down there. So I dont have any problems with what they are doing. No different than culling feral hogs in the southern US.

    Getting the effects of Cristobal now. Or bands there of. They say maybe 1/4 to 3/4. Wishes it was a good 3" to 4".
    Watched the movie Twister last night. Some of the stuff they used for the movie looks like the rain we are getting on and off now.
