Skilled truckers

I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

I've met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

And then I've also met some that couldn't figure out their 13ft tall trailer can't fit under a 12ft 8 bridge...

For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.

What change is this move driving? I can't see around all the genocide.

There's a guy I know of who keeps bees, and while there are some people nearby who get pissy at him every time they see a bee, most people love how well all the flowers and gardens grow nearby and understand why they do.

This past year I went to someone's house nearby and their tree was blooming, but didn't look nearly as good as usual. And then I noticed I couldn't hear any bees.

When that tree has flowers, it's filled with so many bees you can hear it buzzing from the road about 300m away.

Now silence.

I haven't seen a bee around where I live in over a year. And I'm outside a lot in the spring and summer. Usually I get a few buzzing over me when I'm out in my hammock, but I have yet to hear one this year. I'm hoping they're just "sleeping in" a bit but I fear I already know the truth...

But that wouldn't be proper!

As I like to say when movie makes a modern day celebrity or TV reference, "hahaaaaaa that's a pop culture reference that will definitely stand the test of time."

Still funny, though.

He knew that could be a sound of the future. But he didn't realize how much the impact would be.

In fairness, my dogs are considered "property" and I value both of them far more than the human who put this on their vehicle.

Oh don't worry, they still are.

Just not domestically.

Nobody sued them over gay leaders.

They got sued by parents over not doing anything about pedos, AND got sued by prospective leaders because they were being prevented from joining over their sexual orientation.

Bill wanted to be a scoutmaster since he grew up with scouts, but since he was gay, he was not allowed. He then sued the organization over it. (idk names, that's just for clarity)

It's not a phaser, but...... I've thought about it today.

I mean, I guess he gets a tiny fraction of that, since this won't ruin his company or him financially for the rest of his life if it doesn't work out, nor does he actually put in the work any further than a phone call that his assistant sets up. The rest is all done by various departments, all he does is wait for an email saying it's been recieved.

Would it be in poor taste to say "Hey, I've seen this one before!"?
