    At the TA getting tires. Had one, I picked up for now,$100, bought another. Almost new Bridgestone steer. $209. Couldn’t pass it up. We shall see. Not going next winter with steers on Drives again. Maybe front axle, but rear has to have Drives. By then 4 new maybe. Meanwhile I’ll run out the steers. Probably end up with 1 good steer as a spare, mounted on a rim. Worst case I’ll change one myself, if needed.

    I'm getting loaded way early for our return to the most awesomest state.

    Still can't drive for another hour.

    We all know according to the doctrine of The Opus Dicta you can get loaded early at the shipper. You cannot get loaded early at the truck stop.

    Not exactly, you're thinking of the law of conservation, but that doesn't mean atoms don't migrate. We know that our atmosphere isn't a perfect bubble keeping things from entering or escaping.

    The Earth has lost a quarter of its water

    I noticed a lot of assumptions in that article like declaring the isotopes in the rock to be a perfect measure of 4 million years ago. Maybe but it seems like an unproven theory. I’m just saying the length of my shower or if we prerinse dishes doesn’t matter to the water supply.

    What matters is pollution of the Atmosphere and Water.

    I agree that article is primarily a panic inducer..... OMG WE LOST A QUARTER OF THE WATER FROM THE OCEAN!!!!!!!!.

    That rate of loss was for the past 4 Billion years. If we annualize that my bet is we loose more free water to soaking into the ground in the desert (like the entire L.A. Basin, South San Joaquin, and other Urban growth areas of the desert south west) from people watering their lawns and growing crops where they should not. Another potential reservoir is the increase in mass of water that is in the People population that grows every year.
