Longtime, I would say we are yellow out here. Yellow, the color of the forty yard dumpsters that we continue to fill with some garbage, broken down crates but mostly it is perfectly good skids and excess dunage. All the 4x4 and 4x8 sheets sent to us from XMI, XKC, XCN, XCA, LDA, XMP, XCW, NBN (no sorry not NBM, they don't know what it is or how to use it). We get so much of it, we can't get rid of it. So where does it end up. You guessed right. The Big Yellow Dumpster. My guess is two of them a week. We've talked about this before and it has not changed.

There is so much dunnage because of the stupid rules on using it. Conway thinks that the more dunnage you use the less likely your going to have any damages. Not true, we still have plenty of damages. Remember, we're not allowed to use common sense any more. So, therefore your going to continue to see all of the dunnage.

Waterscooter, The little short DSR that we both know and love is doing fine.
I assume that you are doing fine.
How in the H*** is married life going?
Hope you are not too sunburned!
Concerning the dumpsters, I could make a living from our dumpster if allowed to scavange! Oh well, I guess it is better to send it to the landfill than to let employees recycle it!
On another note, in 2009, we are planning a cross country trip.
It is all dependent on whether my better half can get the time off work.
I have been saving $ for the trip, and will get in touch with you by phone if it is going to happen.
We are hoping to make it hsppen, and would love to have a spot in your driveway for a day.
We will be bringing ourselves, our camper, and our silly dogs. You will love our silly dogs.
Keep in touch, Longtimeltl.....

"We are a virus to this earth" Now that is an interesting statement coming from you, sounds like something Henry Kissinger would say. You're not going to next be quoting the tenets from the Georgia Guidestones are you?
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.
The Georgia Guidestones

Absolutely humanity is a virus. We multiply and decimate until the area we inhabit can no longer sustain us. Like any species on the earth nature will eradicate the problem with disaster or disease. The difference between us and other "herds" is the strong survive in the natural order and the rich will survive in the human herd. Quote who you want, Facts are facts! Press on
