What is your preferred method of transportation for trips over a couple of hours and why?

POV It gets me there when I want to get there and I can Stop or go on my own schedule.

How do you travel to and from work - personal vehicle, bus, subway/train, pedal power? What does it cost you per week in gas or fares?

How are you celebrating the 4th of July?

With Family and friends, BBQ/Banana Pudding and Home Made Potato Salad

On this celebration of our Independence It will bode well to remember that the signers of the Declaration of Independence did not have a easy decision.

Today please take some tome from your busy schedule to remember,and maybe observe a moment of silence for all the brave souls,past and present who are dedicated to keeping America free.

What have you been putting off all weekend?

Nothing It has been Productive I turned 61 yesterday and had a nice dinner with my wife and Grand kids...

A U.S. Marine commanding officer who attended Oregon State 

University and two fellow Marines were among more than 20 people killed in an Iraq suicide attack.

Lt. Col. Max A. Galeai, 42, the commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, died Thursday in the Anbar province of Iraq, about 30 miles west of Baghdad, according to the U.S. Marines.

It was a bad day for the Trucker from Texas and for the other folks involved.

I am glad that nobody died. I hope the reporter in this story learns the difference between a truck and a Pick up.

The headline says truck jumped median. The only truck pictured is upright on all 18 wheels...
