    We had our inaugural lighting of the bunk heater about 10 days ago.

    Won't happen. American made products aren't as good or any better than foreign made, and come at a higher price. Hell, most electronic items we want today you can't even find an "American made" version of.

    I think he means Petro North Baltimore OHIO, not the "TA Baltimore NORTH", Baltimore, MARYLAND, which is the old Port Truck Plaza off the O'Donnell Street exit.

    A notorious ####hole at least since the 90s and probably before.

    However, I scaled there a few times a week at my second trucking job, and never feared for my safety, even though I never had "my Kabar point down in my boot" as a defense against the "predators".

    I minded my business, they minded theirs.

    Agreed.

    Thankfully I'll be dead before the worst of the fallout from the bad choices of leaders from before my birth to now.

    We're holding at a status of One Cat and One dog Night. And the dog only hangs out part of the time before bailing to the dog hammock to cool off.

    Until the powers that be quit kicking corperations in the balls with outlandish taxes, they will continue to out move thier production elsewhere.

    There are several things to address--Taxes and wages being high up there. funny thing is they have stagnated wages here and they have been increasing in the established south American markets so the the US wages are on par with S.A. level.

    Still no way to compete with the Cheap labor in China though.
