Thanks! It is true that if I had checked the trailer before we got there none of that particular Baltimore boobery would have happened. But that’s one sure thing about trucking… if it’s not one boobery it’s another.

I love that recaptcha thing. What they are doing is really cool. Carnegie Mellon University is trying to protect the entire history of the written word by scanning it all into digital format. When they scan in these old books, there are often words that the computer can’t read. They use these words as ‘Captcha’ words. Then, once enough people agree on the proper spelling of a word, it is inserted back into the digital file of the original text.

I figure if we have to bother with proving we’re human on every comment, at least we are helping to save literature at the same time. So hopefully it’s not a total waste of your time. Besides, some of the combinations can be quite funny.

This post was great, and to think if the two of you had just showed up at that port with a fancy no-nails-in-floor trailer in the first place, it wouldn’t have existed.

I’ll definitely be peeking in on you again.

And by the way, best word verification I’ve had to type in by far…’decision daniels’…real words for a change.

Nice to meet you. Glad you found your way here and are liking the place.

Yeah that idiot at the port… numbnuts.

He’s not alone, though. About five years ago I was looking into buying a Volvo. Went to the dealership near our house to check it out. The salesman actually told me, “well for a lady to buy a truck by herself we require seven years experience before we can finance her” just after he had told me they only required one years’ experience when he thought I would be buying it with my “driving husband.”

You can bet if we ever do buy a truck it won’t be there!
