Jesus, that is TERRIFYING! I had a couple of dicey situations, but nothing as crazy as that. I remember getting screwed up with the Kansas Turnpike... Not wanting to go on the toll road but couldn't make the maneuver quickly enough, so I was stuck on that toll road... And a lot of stretches on I-35 where the speed limit was 75+ and the stupid U-Haul topped out at 65... Thought the engine was going to burst in flames chugging up some steep inclines. 

Let's just say that had the passing fool heard what I said, they and their truck would have burst into flames.

 

Honestly, to this day, I have no idea if the guy in the truck realized or cared what he did. However, I suspect he thought he was invincible because he was driving a 4X with a lift kit.

I wasn't going to watch any more games til they won one, but had to tune in yesterday to see how Nolasco would do. It was worth it..........til he got lifted. Actually flipped the channel when Perkins came in, but flipping back and forth I did witness the blow. Not sure what to do today.

But, Halsey...if you don't watch any more games, how will you know when the win one??

Have fun driving the Budget truck! For me, there was nothing more terrifying than driving a U-Haul with my SUV hitched to the back all the way down I-35 to get to Texas. Never again....

 

My oldest daughter and I moved her sister from Medford OR to SO MN in winter. 3 days, 2000 miles, two blizzards, 3 road closings for weather, pulling a SUV on a trailer, no F*^€ing cruise control, and a CAT! One of the worst drives, and the most fun I have ever had. There is a Shell station in West Wendover NV that is still standing despite her best efforts. Top question of the trip: "why don't they put those cows in the barn?", when seeing Black Angus out on the WY prairie in the snow. Lol

Wait...

 

Truckers are allowed to stop? There are trucker brethren? On the grand scheme of things, this sounds like a great relief, but the significance of the question "are we there yet?" is somehow diminished...

 

I too am about to embark on a bit of a drive, so i'll perhaps only be chiming in on ye olde game thread via wireless device from gas stations and rest stops.

 

But first... i want to be...

 

A Lumberjack!

You were maybe lucky it didn't go faster! Going fast isn't the problem, stopping can be. :). We had a Budget, some guy in the same size rig from a different rental blew by us on 80 in WY, slow down signs flashing all over the freeway. 2 miles later we found him jackknifed in down a 20 fr embankment. :( patience is a virtue!

The 1899 Cleveland Spiders started the season 1-4. They finished their season with a 1-40 stretch. We're too late to have a better start but we can have a better finish. 

This is great. The Spiders are now the bar we are measuring against.

And that's okay.

I appreciate the support!

 

This may sound kinda obvious, but lumberjacking will have to wait until i get an axe.

 

Hatchet just won't cut it... well, in a timely fashion, what with having to drive soon.

 

But i still don't know the answer and i feel i should now: if a tree falls in the backyard, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound.

 

I wasn't there... But i get to clean up after it. Once i'm back from my drive.

 

At least i mowed the front lawn.

Finally!  A party I can get behind!  This off-shoot that admittedly lacks graphic creativity is good too!

I take full responsibility for these 6 losses.  I haven't been engaged enough to watch a game yet, but that ends today!....sort of.  My son has baseball practice this evening and I might have to leave before it's over.  Once again, my bad.  I don't see it as the Twins being off to an 0-6 start.  Rather, I am off to an 0-6 start.
