Ja, she took care of Dad as Agent Orange slowly destroyed his body. He was combat engineers, did a couple tours in the "Nam. Didn't talk much, but one of the things he related to me was while the troops were clearing free fire zones around firebases, the sprayers would dump their loads of the stuff while they were still out in the field doing brush and tree clearing work. As he told me..."we took showers in the stuff". War is hell...just wish they would at least once just admit.."We fucked up".

@realulmapache @GunloverClub1 That’s my kind of woman. She is a keeper

When a hog decides to charge, you’ve only got one shot to get it right.

@TheTokyoDerek @GunloverClub1 TY!!

@realulmapache @GunloverClub1 That’s a truly badass photo!

@Oldtimers365 LOL...just about everything in this house is over 50 years old...

@HappyMotorhead I liked the '62 w/ the 409.

🚗💨 DID YOU KNOW? ​In the 1960s, you could order a Chevrolet Biscayne—basically a "grandpa spec" grocery getter—with a massive 427 big block engine. 🏎️ ​It’s the ultimate "sleeper" car: it looks like a taxicab but eats GTOs for breakfast! 🍳🥓 ​#Chevrolet #Biscayne427 #MuscleCars #SleeperCar #CarTrivia #ClassicCars #V8Power

Read this book and give it to all your friends. Survival of civilization depends on it!

Sad to say, but second languages arew not very important in American schools, they are not offered until at least jr high (middle scholl). At that age, learning another language is much harder than if it is stsarted when the child is young (3-4). Military Brats had a different educational environment. DoDDs schools mandated that you speak the language of the host country, and have a basic understanding of at least one other language. At one time, I was fluent in German (raised there), and could find my way around Spain and France. Throw in a smattering of Latin and Russian, and that was the extent of it. Sad to say, due to the lack of opportunities to speak, my skills have deteriorated greatly, aber Ich kann noch ein bischen Deutsch sprechen.

僕は日本人なので、日本語が第一言語です。そして、多くの日本人は第二言語として、英語を学んでいます🇯🇵🥰 そこで、アメリカ人に質問があります。アメリカ人は第二言語として、どんな言語を学んでいますか？🇺🇸🤭

@RetroCoast One of many such instances... fox13seattle.com/news/mall-loui…

In the #1980s teens hung out at the mall But today many malls BAN groups of teens What happened?

@dartinguphill Got weight bonuses while hauling powder...consistent weights at 79990.

Brokers and shippers leaving so much money on the table by under loading trucks. They are paying $7 per mile but don't even fill the truck full.

If you love American exceptionalism and American freedom, follow @AmyMek. She is doing exceptionally courageous work to warn the United States about the looming dangers. Support her.

@brockpierson I went to 11 different schools on 2 continents before I graduated high school...which one do you want?

Anyone who grew up before social media existed still remember their parents landline number?

@BrianRoemmele Every time you drive past a Flock device, give it your middle finger.

It’s happening…

@0rangeChevrolet Those Nardi steering wheels are nice...had one on my Rolls..

“the nonsense of driving a 70s truck”

@trolfarmer @srkntnyldz Then p'raps the first wrong shouldn't have occured.

@srkntnyldz Valid but 2 wrongs doesn’t make a right

Hollanda’nın Leusden kasabasında (8600 nüfuslu) 110 yetişkin erkek mülteciyi yerleştirme planı büyük öfke yarattı. Tesis, genç kızların hokey kulübünün hemen yanına kurulacaktı. 3000 kişi imza verdi, mahkeme ise “insani yardım önceliklidir” diyerek planı onayladı. Halk 3 hafta boyunca her gece protesto yaptı. Mülteciler taşındığı gün tesis ateşe verildi, itfaiye yolu kapatıldı. Bu kader tepkinin asıl sebebi geçen yıl 17 yaşındaki Lisa adlı bir kız, bir sığınmacı tarafından öldürülmüştü.

Maybe not "aimless driving", but there are regs against "cruising", IOW traversing the same intersection more than two-three times in a set period. This is how it starts. At least sixteen Washington cites and two counties have enacted anti-cruising ordinances in an attempt to curb cruising and its negative effects: Auburn, Centralia, Covington, Everett, Federal Way, Kirkland, Lakewood, Longview, Marysville, Olympia … In ten of the cities and both counties, a driver will not be cited until they pass the enforcement point for a third time in the specified time period going the same direction. In the other six cities, the driver can be cited on the second pass. In fifteen of the eighteen jurisdictions, the relevant time period is two hours, with Covington set at one hour, Wenatchee at three hours, and Seattle at four. The offense is an infraction in ten of the jurisdictions and a misdemeanor in eight. In five of the misdemeanor jurisdictions, the offense appears to impose only a fine with no jail time.

Just found this official decree from the Washington Governor’s Office… They’ve officially banned aimless driving. No more cruising. No more joyrides. No more “I’m just clearing my head, officer.” You must have a lawful destination at all times or face a $1,000 fine. Welcome to the People’s Republic of Washington, where even your Sunday drive needs prior approval. Governor Ferguson has solved traffic congestion by making driving illegal unless you’re going somewhere productive. Next up: banning “aimless walking,” “purposeless staring out the window,” and breathing without a five-year plan. Washingtonians, start practicing your excuse scripts now: “Yes officer, I am driving to acquire oat milk for my emotional support latte.” This is peak 2026 energy. Government: “We care about your safety!” Also government: “But first, show me your destination on this here form, citizen.” The only thing aimless now is common sense. Hopefully you got a chuckle. Now days I wouldn’t put anything past them. #AimlessDrivingBanned #WashingtonWay #BigGovernmentEnergy #JustLetPeopleDrive

And remember boys -n- girls...focus on the legal aspects, not on the ethnicity. Brings much more "gravitas" to the table. For example...who knows that there is a difference in headdress between Muslims and Hindus, and what it is. So, using the phrase "towelhead" is not acceptable. Instead, present it as "this individual is in the country illegally, cannot communicate or comprehend the English language, and has fraudulent/non-existent credentials for operating a CMV.

🚨 BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has ruled 9-0 that freight brokers can be held LIABLE if they negligently hire unsafe trucking companies — including those with ILLEGAL ALIEN and FOREIGN drivers who violate CDL rules and cause accidents LFG! Start cracking down on the companies 🔥 The opinion, delivered by Barrett, confirms that federal law does not shield these brokers from state negligence lawsuits. This will likely help force brokers into being MUCH more careful about which carriers they use, because they want to avoid lawsuits PURGE THE CDL SYSTEM and hold all trucking companies liable! Non-English foreigners all over the roads needs to end.

@TruckerDanUSA Grace and Peace...and good luck with the class III stuff. In a trust? Depends on the situation whether a trust is the way to go.

I’ll be posting as I’m able tomorrow. I just got word that a friend of 26 years passed away. He had several class three weapons, I’m trying to make sure his widow gets the form 5’s filled out properly, citizenship paperwork, finger print cards. Rip Jie Carrere.

@FreightAlley Bingo!!!!

OMG, this is the most pivotal moment in trucking history since Deregulation. It could be an extinction event for 30-50% of all freight brokers. Matt Lefler and I will be on the air at 11AM ET to discuss. Live, streaming on X.

These centers do NOT bring billions to the local economy. P'raps 10 full time jobs once the construction is finished. They will consume water and electricity to the detriment of the local economy. Elon has the correct approach. Put them in space. Concept and Rationale Data centers in space involve placing computational infrastructure—servers, storage, and networking equipment—into satellites or lunar installations to process data off-Earth. The primary motivations include: U.S. Government Accountability Office (U.S. GAO)+1 Energy efficiency: Orbiting solar arrays can provide near-continuous power, especially in dawn-dusk sun-synchronous orbits, with solar irradiance up to 36% higher than on Earth. 2 Cooling advantages: Waste heat can be radiated directly into space, eliminating the need for water-based cooling systems used on Earth. 2 Resource conservation: Reduces land use, freshwater consumption, and grid dependency for terrestrial data centers. 1 Operational resilience: Physical separation from natural disasters, grid failures, and geopolitical risks enhances security and continuity.

Hmm

@foxguardiansuk What of the families of the folks buried there? Not permitted to visit?

@realulmapache It is now closed to the public and has become a conservation zone...Rewilded - with lots of bramble and ivy ambling over the stones, rather than manicured and polished...

Just four cubs having a foxy pillow fight! 🦊😂 Have you ever wondered why pillows, laundry items, shoes and toys just disappear from your garden?! The answer is that eager fox parents may take these items to their fox cubs to play with. Fox mum Spring dragged a large cushion into the re-wilded cemetery for her youngsters to demolish and have endless fun with. 🐾 The cubs shake, rip and drag the cushion and pounce, push and roll over again and again during play. This teaches them agility and strength and how to hunt as well as how to quarrel with an opponent. It only took them a couple of days to totally demolish the big cushion and you can see in mum’s face that she must be thinking: “I better find some new toys for my babies to keep them entertained” before she enjoys a much-needed slumber on the pile of pillow stuffing. 🧡 My fave bit is when one cub tumbles over and is laying on they back, little flailing legs in the air, looking all puzzled. What is yours? #fox #foxes #cubs #cemeteryfoxes #wildlife
