Aw crap! If that's true then that means that I'm fast, cheap and easy!

Back to the O.P.:

1.)Big people with little minds.

2.)Inconsiderate people who think that it's far more important for them to reach their destination than it is for me to reach mine - I don't mind yielding or slowing down, but don't flip me off if I can't do it quickly enough in my 80,000 pound vehicle to satisfy your urge to cut me off in traffic with your 2,000 pound vehicle. (See #1.)

3.)Those who eat meat yet condemn hunters. (Wait, I guess that falls under the 'Big people with little minds' category.)

4.)Those who buy coffee in a covenience store and scatter the non-dairy creamer and sugar contents/packages all over the place without a thought to those who come after them or those who have to clean it all up. (Hmmm... Back to #1 again!)

Oh Come All Ye Faithless...

Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me.
He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.


I am glad I am American,
I am glad that I am free.
But I wish I was a dog ...
And Obama was a tree!!!!!!

Hmmm... Two dog chasing a Poodle down the street for several blocks. One looks at the other and, tongue hanging out, says "...Pant, pant, pant... Man, this is a bitch!" The other, equally exhausted, replies, "...Pant, pant, pant... After all this running it'd BETTER be a bitch!"

I'm not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean that I'm looking forward to it.

I remember the words of a German U-Boat commander from WWII:

"Life is a matter of luck and extreme caution does not enhance your chance of success."

The same could also be said for one's immaturity - perhaps we should raise the legal driving age to 25?

Simple fact is that very few are as good drivers as they think they are. In a poll a few years back, 95% of those who responded listed themselves as "above average" drivers. Simply using age as a determing factor for those both young and old is too broad a stroke and would never be a practical solution.

Different terrain/driving conditions in different states would seem to dictate that driving tests would vary from state to state. The only thing even approaching an equanimity of tests is the CDL (Commercial Driving License) required to operate Class A vehicles. And even with the CDL, only the written test is truly standardized to cover all conditions/situations.


The last driving test I took (more than 20 years and 2 1/2 million miles ago) was in Colorado, one of eleven Western mountain states in the U.S. Their "road test" was considerably more stringent than others I've since witnessed in other states.

When I worked for a company based in Illinois a few years back, one of my duties was to administer driving tests to new/potential drivers. Even though the drivers were expected to drive "cross country" and safely navigate any mountainous areas they encountered, there was no provision in the test which allowed me to judge "mountain driving skills" - Mostly because there are no mountains in Illinois.

Driving tests are, by necessity, varied according to the local conditions which one is likely to encounter.

No Ma'am! Even us Kansans have standards. (And the last I checked, they don't have a flatbed fleet anymore, anyway - the dead cows kept falling off!)

...Seems like most of the truly elite people I know would never identify themselves as such. (That's one of the things that makes them truly elite.)

Now, in order to not be accused of hijacking the thread:


"I don't know about you, but if it was my fault I'd deny it unless there was some way I could benefit by it."

HUH?

"THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE NOT YET BORN"


Hmmm... Yet another sentence that makes me go "Huh?"


THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE NOT YET BORN: click here to read the entire thread »

Yep, I started it. One sentence out of four or five, all of which made me go "Huh?" when I heard them. Please feel free to report me. Blame me, fire me, fry me... whatever it takes to make you feel better about yourself.

Actually, I'm honored - I've never considered myself to be "elite" at anything.

I think that most driving tests are fine for the areas they are administered in.

Having said that, I'll add that I believe that cell phones, stereos, and other electronic distractions should be completely banned in all autos. I also think that people should be constantly reminded that they are not alone in their little steel bubble of personal space and if they are caught driving inattentively, their license should automatically be revoked for a month.

I'm a professional truck driver - I average 110,000 miles/year plus. As such I am constantly having to avoid those who don't know (or care) that I can't stop on a dime, or who can't seem to acknowledge or understand that anything/anybody else exists outside of their own personal little bubble of steel and glass.


I guess my point is that we are not alone on the highways and byways and I'm just fed up with those who drive like they are.

(Rant off)

Actually I do most of the things on the list and some that aren't - Started on my first book last summer and should have it done by sometime next spring. (...Never thought that "The Cat in the Hat" would take so loooong to get through! )

...Reminds me of the guy who went into a bar carrying a suitcase and ordered a drink. When the bartender brought it, the man drank it and ordered another. While the bartender was pouring, the man opened the suitcase and a little man, about a foot tall, climbed out. The man then reached into the suitcase and pulled out a miniature piano and sat it on the bar, whereupon the little guy started playing the most beautiful music!

The bartender was astonished and told the man that his drink was on the house. The man gratefully accepted and drank his drink as the little man continued to play. The bartender offered one more drink on the house is the man would explain how he had come by this miniature virtuoso.

The man sighed and said, "Well, it's a long story: Several years ago I was stranded on a desert island. One day I was walking down the beach and found an old bottle in the sand. Thinking I might be able to put a note into it, I opened it and out popped a Genie who said he would grant me three wishes. Obviously, my first was to be rescued and, as you can see, I was. My second wish was to live a long and healthy life - I am 87 years old and don't look a day over 35..."

The bartender interupted "Okay, but that don't explain the little guy playing the piano."

"I'm getting to that." The man continued. "Just as I made my third wish a huge wave broke over the shore and the Genie didn't hear me correctly... He thought I said that I wanted a twelve inch Pianist!"

Winter camped on many occasions when I was younger. Have no real problems with it now except for not having the time (or much of anyone to go with).

One of my favorite set-ups is a 'scout pit' where you dig a long narrow trench and get a roaring fire going in it. When the fire burns down to a layer of coals about 3 inches deep, you cover it with about 4-5 inches of dirt and roll out your sleepingbag/bedroll. Toasty warm in the coldest of conditions!

Have also used reflector fires in front of leantos as well as snow caves, spider holes, etc...

A man was washed up on a beach after a shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up with him. After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island.

After being there awhile, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset.

One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it.

But the sheepdog, ever protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep.

After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling..

A few weeks passed by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was Nancy Pelosi.

That evening, the man brought Nancy to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get 'those feelings' again..

He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave in and leaned over to Nancy and told her he hadn't had sex for months.

Nancy batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him.

He said, 'Take the dog for a walk?'
