as long as the driver has a large-mouth bottle, all american trucks have toilets.*

did read that there was a correlation between bladder cancer & truck drivers. was surmised, that holding your toilet had a part in the troubles. maybe, will have a definitive answer when amazon workers start having the same issues.

also many uti's.

read this reading up on school bathroom policies. a lot of uti's & colon-related problems - kids' tracts lose the ability to feel the urge & end up w/constipation and incontinent issues - in schools w/"hold it or lose recess" rules. (special place in hell, or the backyard, for those enforcers) - so the theory might hold water.

(a long drive for o̶n̶e̶ two puns.)



* "Most of us do carry pee bottles. But you have to stop to utilize them. I don't have enough hands to steer, shift, hold the bottle & direct Little Richard in the right direction all at the same time. Stopping to water the flowers is no longer an option, as it could lead to a sex criminal(sic) charge for indecent exposure."

Beat me by 20 minutes @ant.
Love the dashboard display, good advice for Starman to keep in mind on his long drive.

He's consistent enough with it to be the PGA long drive champion.

Cutting back on light pollution isn't too hard if lighting and building designers and the like would just care. For highlighting a building, rather than have lights pointing up, put the lights under the eaves pointing down. (I actually don't get why people light up their houses so much, especially if there are street lights nearby as well, that makes that much more light for a thief to have in the house without having to use a flashlight or turn on lights or anything else to give away their activity, plus it just doesn't make sense to me to highlight a house 99.999% of the time) Along the sidewalk of the local shopping center strip, they have these big 3' round lights shining light in all directions, but if they simply capped it, and had a reflector on top to direct light down and around, they could achieve better light distribution for pedestrians for far less energy, a win all the way around for them. Light is still reflected off the ground up, but isn't as intense. Street lights can be made to cause less glare and direct light better, which again saves energy while keeping the light needed for the road just as good if not better. The problem is, those fixtures aren't widely used yet, so they cost more than the normal ones (supply and demand working out there, plus just gouging). I would bet that even a major city could greatly cut their light pollution down without sacrificing safety, and perhaps increasing it, and saving energy with just a few steps. Problem is most people don't know much about it, nor care, save for those of us who would love to have a nice telescope, but find it hard to justify especially when the skies nearby aren't dark enough... Really just need to start modifying zoning laws and restrict accent lighting and do better on street lighting where/when needed (and cutting it when not needed, which is perhaps far more often the case, since it is usually just a security blanket while not providing any security at all)... But yeah, since that isn't likely to happen, not much is likely to happen and those of us wanting to see the night sky in its glory are stuck with long drives...

That exhaust note would get pretty tiring on a long drive. Cool vid though!

My personal experience,

Long drives (1,000km+), 6 and 6 in clear visibility (daylight, nothing along roadside) situations, 5 and 8 for all other situations, massive difference (reduction) in fatigue.

Short / suburban / city / off-road, 3 and 8 for responsiveness.

Tried many styles, what works for you may not work for others and what works for 1 car may not work for another. Take into account comfort, arm length, strength requirements (steering wheel sensitivity / responsiveness)

There's a golf channel?

dude, there's a bowling channel... fishing channel.. and you can watch horses on the horse channel 24/7.
Yeah. Golf 24 hrs a day on the cable.


I seems the future has arrived.
Channels probably don't have numbers anymore, do they? ..seems kinda redundant in a point n' click, 'google it' age.

Great for those long drives! *promote

One of my favorite vacations I've ever been on was a trip with my wife to Kauai. We rented a jeep and used directions that we got off of the geocaching site to travel to the location where they shot the original film. It was a fairly long drive through some thick forest/jungle, over several streams, and finally stopping at the remnants of the "Park's" entrance. The site is absolutely gorgeous! A short walk from the gate takes you to an overlook where you can observe several waterfalls that cascade down into the caldera and we got to find one of the best geocaches ever!

in the fort worth area you have me, inflatablevagina, drax and alternating weekends brain is up from houston we're all buddies and meet regularly on my porch.... i also go to houston a lot... where my boyfriend (brain) and his brother are old sifters. the boyfriend would go, his bro wouldn't. choggie lives there, i bet he'd be down. also ctrlaltbleach is in htown but ive never met him. austin is smack in the middle of the two cities and has the best bar scene by far and at least four of us are usually down for a weekend trip to austin, given enough notice. oooh and geesussfreak is somewhere in the hill country area... near austin. >> ^dag:

Tempting. Especially the baked goods. What's the best city for a Texas Sift up and how many Sifters / permanently banished Sifters could you rustle up?>> ^peggedbea:
wtf? no texas sift up???? you don't want to smoke a joint with me and choggie and listen to our beautiful coon ass poetry and eat our delicious baked goods??? also, we give amazing hugs.
we might be abrasive on the internet, but it's totally a front to how soft and cuddly we are on the inside. >> ^dag:
What the hell! Where's your dedication? Where are you at MG? I may be swinging by Austin on my travels. >> ^MarineGunrock:
. Six hours (one way) is a long drive for drinks. Maybe next time!
