My Daughter came home from School today. She is in 10th Grade. Her World History Teacher was overheard talking to another Faculty Member and the Students overheard bits and pieces. So they hounded the Teacher for info. So the Teacher informed the Class that there was gonna be a 3 day kit passed around for all the Students. They may be needed for the dates of Sept 28 to Oct 8....The Class was told to be prepared for Power outages. Teacher also informed Class that Russian Troops were Training on our Soil. The Class went nuts and asked tons of questions but the Teacher said that was all she had to say.

what kind of work do you do that you get to travel like that?

I have just started driving over-the-road chemical tanker trucks, with a goal of getting into some of the oil field work. Not glamorous, but it's a steady paycheck in a time when other work is hard to come by, and I've always enjoyed driving things - the bigger, the better :-)

Also, it's been pretty cool, getting to be a tiny part of the process of making many different things that are needed to keep this county's manufacturing base humming along!

Mockery and ridicule is so 'alinsky'...meh.

And I like 'vanitizing'. I always ask for it...

So post away...FR will "lens it out".

This used to be a pretty good newspaper:

It seems to have devolved into a fanzine written for fourth-graders.

Locally, I have not heard of this issue.

Thank you for weighing in!

Papers & magazines & websites seem to be written for children, by children, nowadays. It’s rather awful.

That is the truth. The art of writing has gone *kaput*, which is really frustrating for me as an editor. On the other hand, it sort of points to job security, whatever that is in the present time.

I was leaving the Savannah area yesterday and was passed by a truck carrying another one of these "Russian Hummers". With typical bad timing, my dash cam changed files just as it passed. What should have been a great picture of the machine was lost in the two seconds it takes my camera to stop the video and restart (it runs in five-minute segments.) Instead, I have a shot of the back of the vehicle, and another of it's silhouette as it crossed the bridge ahead of me. (And, no, I couldn't catch up to get a better view - darn governed company truck ;-)

This was on I-16 Westbound, about 30 miles East of Macon. Sorry for the smeared windshield - it seems to be love bug season, and I'm doing my part to see that they die happy ;-)

What makes it russian?

What makes it russian?

"Russian" is a generalization based on the Cyrillic writing on the sides (unfortunately not visible in the photo.) As higgmeister pointed out, this does not make them definitively "Russian", but definitely foreign.
