    Yes, who the hell needs pride in one's work? That's an old and outdated concept anyway. :rolleyes:

    Yes I know it’s seasoning, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t going to give him a bad time about it!

    Might be ignorant every now and again, but I use my road atlas lol found where it has the truck routes for cities in each state, up until now I’ve only checked the front to look for low clearance and restricted routes but that doesn’t help for local street by street places

    And that's the part that separates the men from the boys. :cool:

    Any idiot can drive forward on the Interstate. It takes a little more to make the delivery.

    Egypt belonged to the Romans, but instead of officially claiming Egypt, making them citizens, etc, they instead made them pay them money, contribute to their wars by providing soldiers for example and this is what they did for all the other countries as well which is what made them so successful, until they got too big and other problems lol great I’m talking about history again!

    If you can't be good, be spectacular!

    All joking aside it's really sad there's people out there who can't function without an electronic device guiding them.

    I usually mention this every time a GPS discussion comes up:

    Got one of them fancy "Trucking" GPS's when they started hitting the market (Garmin Nuvi 465T). I'm headed in to some tiny town in Nowheresville, OK and the voice starts screeching about a low clearance ahead, turn right in 1/4 mile to take alternate route.

    There was no low clearance ahead, and the alternate route it was suggesting would have been Class 1 Stupid to try to turn a truck on to.

    I died a little inside when I thought about the fact there's drivers out there who are stupid enough to just do what the voice says.

    You’d be surprised, I was driving through San Antonio on I-10 at like 1 am, went to pass another truck, guy swerves into my lane and if I didn’t almost drive on the shoulder he would’ve hit me! Which brought me to the question, who’s fault is it if I plowed into a vehicle on the shoulder? Mine for not holding my lane and getting in a wreck, or his for running me off the road?

    And one of those problems was complacency. I would surmise that's what befell the Egyptians and allowed Rome to steamroll them, until 500 years later when they themselves were steamrolled.

    Complacency has led to the downfall of many a great nation.

    In that instance it would depend on whether or not you held your course. If you had, it would be the other guy's fault.
