Knight and Swift trucking are merging

Indiana Jack is now leasing his own trailer, which means he has to go from door to door – no dumping off the trailer at a company yard or at the destination dock. This is going to be harder than he thinks
Indiana Jack is on his way from Minnesota to Florida carrying containers of liquid fertilizer. His prior trip involved offloading part of his load into another trailer.
Jack is hopefully learning that Knight was protecting him from a lot of sketchy shippers.
That’s just nuts

The IRS was taking its cut.
Alex shot himself in the foot on Monday. His lawyer says his bravado is just a act on the radio show. I see where he likes his kids, but he just ‘F’ himself hard.
he will be going down the ‘glenn bec’ fake -fake alley. I may listen to glenn tomorrow!
That’s going to stick.
He had the ‘British guy’ fill in for him today.
Beginning of the end for Infowars ? most likely.
Maybe Rush Limbaugh believes in what he says on the radio ?
savage = fake ?
Beck = fake
Jones = fake ?
Prager = he’s a believer.
If Chris Plant is fake, he does a very very good job. He isn’t over the top like savage.
well there it is, what are you guys hearing ?

Rain drops outside. Gotta love the hearing aid.
I like the British guy much better. He does real show prep, lines up guests, etc…
I watch from afar as people are shocked that Republicans don’t know how to govern. I’ve seen this movie before.
‘Paul Watson’ Yeah, he is good, doesn’t interrupt the guest either.
>”I watch from afar as people are shocked that Republicans don’t know how to govern. I’ve seen this movie before.” <
So true Fred. Do we have a poll that asks who is real and who isn't ? Didn't it have that guy that did all the different voices in Kalifornia ?
I seem to remember.

whoops sorry about that . I should have typed Do ‘you’ have a poll that has who we think which radio hosts are real. : )
didn’t mean to do that,

Story from Austin, the progressive heart of Texas

Ha ! I am proud of myself. I avoided the use of the word
‘Hyenas ‘ when describing helpers on the Beck show, where they were discussing the Jones trial in Austin TX.
It would have been an accurate description though : )
Ole’ Jones has some cash flow, since he was paying his wife $43k a month since separation. Who would have thunk Vitamins and Nutra-ceuticals had such a revenue stream !
Jones’s ex old-lady should have negotiated quietly and let jones continue the alimony ‘gravy-train’.
She may have hurt her own cash flow , dipstick.
parrott
Since anything he says might be part of his “on air persona”, take this with a grain of salt… but his ex-wife is Jewish, which technically means their children are too. Once in a while just to stir the pot he throws out the possibility that he actually is an Israeli Mossad agent, and his entire program is an Israeli psyop.
Listening to infowars can be quite the roller coaster ride.
Alex Jones lost his custody case

NS ( N&W), buddy, now they shipped the coal. CSX sold their Newport New coal pier that C&O had. They shipped a lot of coal too, but they also sent it to their port in Toledo. N&W bought Sandusky from the Pennsylvania in 1964 and then they had an outlet on the Great Lakes, but they turned over their great lakes coal to the Pennsylvania in Columbus. C&O had their own line to Toledo, they got it when they bought Hocking Valley in the early 1900’s.
I don’t know where Conrail shipped their coal except to Cleavland or Lorain Ohio?
CSX shipped a lot out of Baltimore from the B&O & Western Maryland piers, but I think they shut those down, I can’t remember, I’ll ask around.
Coal put a lot of food on the table for people for years. Good vid. NS does just about everything heavy duty.

In another video, Sue teaches visitors how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Sue’s 15 minutes of fame occurred seven years ago when a poster on Reddit linked to a video on how to use a handheld cheese slicer.
Nothing gets the Reddit community excited more than discussing cutting the cheese. Of course, heavy-handed moderation and protecting females from “bullying” has pretty much destroyed reddit.
Happy National Lineman Appreciation day!
Salute , Mr. McBeeVee , “who jingles when he walks, has six extra hands on his belt, has a silver hat and can make smoke come out of his ears !”

So was he working on electric wires, telephone or both?
well, Mr McBeevee was telephone I think, cause he called ‘Charlie’ at the top of the pole with his hand set and went to meet him at another location.
Thats why he wasn’t there when Opie took Andy to look for him.
Andy smokes a cigarette in that episode.
Wish I had that silver hat.
Glenn ? hell I don’t know which.
parrott
Just for the sake of clarification… power lines are (should be) at the top of the pole, and communication lines are placed lower. Otherwise, ‘cable guy’ would need to de-energize the circuit for the entire street or else risk electrocution.
Actually, I was asking about the song – he was looking for overloads, but heard voices singing on the wires
I found the episode. The name in the credits was for a stunt double who did the climbing – and the only film/tv credit. The actor who spoke did lots of other things.
The whole premise was a bit odd. I would think a stranger with an English accent would have stuck out in a small town like Mayberry.
McBeevee; he was ‘Scottish’. All kinds of Scottish people in western NC : )
Malcolm was english. He rode a bicycle.
I don’t know the heritage of Ernest T. Bass.

The song writer stated it was about a telephone lineman…

Hey : Did you all noticed that John B. Wells, Caravan to Midnight, website and server was hacked and they have taken him down, completely? Only thing he can do is post updates on Facebook. They have been working on it since last Thursday. Maybe even Wednesday. hope he gets rolling again.

For what it is worth, the domain is registered via godaddy and the server is located in Paris France (at least it is currently)

Then I saw that wednesday , April 26 Mr. Trump is going to have the ‘blowhards’ I mean the entire Senate over at the White House.
At which time he fire up a satellite feed on the TV screen, and say to Sean Spicer,
Hold my beer, watch this ! : )
“The senate will be briefed by Donald Trump and his four top defense and military officials on the situation in North Korea at the White House, an event which Reuters dubbed as “unusual.” ”
Now that the have found the USS Carl Vinson, it is expected to finally arrive off the coast of the Korean Peninsula. Ha !
Off to ‘china- mart tomorrow boys & Girls. Get a pallet Beefstew , matches and water.

Are the Democratic Senators going to boycott the meeting?
I’d think they’d want to go so they could leak things to hurt the president, like they always do.
I said last night to Mrs Stone that Trump is smart enough to use that to his advantage. He can bait them with some juicy tidbit of information and then have the FBI and NSA track all of the phone calls the Senators make to their KGB and PRC contacts. Comey and Obama set the precedent – time for the chickens to come home to roost.
Or maybe Trump will suspend the Constitution, dissolve Congress and put the Senators in Federal detention.
Apparently, Trump’s role was limited to introducing the military muscle, who made their pitch that just any day, North Korea might nuke Guam

Killer, that qualifies as a niche market ? Its free for the first year in the new Jeep. I listen to the Canadian stuff a good bit just to hear the French-Canadian ladies talk. I only pick up a word every now and then, but it sure is fun to listen to.
Have you seen the new chick doing the trivago commercials ? She tries an Australian accent maybe?
