The White House talking point and media meme that George Zimmerman was some racist white guy who gunned down a poor black child out of racist spite, keep running into those stubborn facts, from WFTV, Sanford, Florida: WFTV has confirmed that autopsy results show 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died.

South Plainfield,NJ== I started last night, to get a jump on several things, including a freak snowstorm currently screwing up traffic in western NY. I’ve started cleaning up my truck for the summer. It’s already starting to pay off. It’s already looking pretty good, though with the snow this week, I’ll have some catch up [...]
I’m about to get into bed, to rest up for a trip into New York city in the morning…. about 3 o’clock in the morning. I’m trying a new method of posting from my phone. I hope it works because it’s often enough but I haven’t been able to connect from my laptop to be [...]
Wheeling, WV– yes I’m still alive. I know there has been some wondering about that, but I’m still here. Got a new phone and am having some problems with its hot spot. Should be back full time soon

I like Professor Althouse’s blog. However to do make to claims to understand the good professor. While I am not certain, of where the professor stands, I do find this two recent posts of her amusing. Item, gender feminists find that reality does not conform to gender feminist theory: 142 legal secretaries surveyed and not [...]
I’ve been taking pics of trucks and things that catch my eye, and thought I’d pass them on to you.
Harrisburg, PA– As this is written, I’m at the TA in Harrisburg. I was supposed to be over by Albany by this time, but an equipment failure…. (flat tire) lost me four hours of drive time. When things go mostly right, it’s easy to bitch about the small stuff. When there’s a bigtime fail… well, [...]
OK, I promised you some pics, and here they are, but first some background. Due to equipment problems, and some timing issues, I was unable to get out of town before the snowstorm hit in Carlisle, PA, the other night., drove for a few hours and was almost out of legal time, (Truckers are restricted [...]

Avon, NY– Took a load from Batavia, NY to Carlisle, PA yesterday, and today, brought one back. Because of what I consider company security, I won’t get into a lot of detail of the problems encountered, but I will say without question it was a full moon. I’ll post some pics over the weekend. I [...]
(East Syracuse, NY)— Came in from Carlisle, PA last night, and spent the night at Binghamton, NY. I can’t say I’m overly impressed with this truck; the steering feels a little vauge, especially when the roads are wet. Past that, (and a lown out brake line on the trailer last night) things have been fairly [...]
(Irving TX)– We’re in the shop for some minor repairs, andI ran into another driver who was nice enough to allow me to use his laptop. A few casual observations of the world around me: Eric Massa:Yeah, I said to Donna the moment his resignation started breaking that there was some hint of scandal going on [...]
For those who haven’t noticed my Facebook entry, I managed to get hired today at the driving job I’d applied to. I’ll be training in an over the road situation for the next few weeks. Once I go through that, I’ll be assigned my own truck, and I’ll be run for perhaps another 10 days, [...]
For those of you who don’t know why the silence from me of late, I’m in Ohio on a job search. At the moment I’m up to my pipiks in snow…. the entire state, apparentlyis under a blanket of white as this is written. It’s made my existance interesting.
Welcome, one and all, to the most intense nightly read anywhere on the web; the BitsBlog Nightly Ramble. STATE OF THE ONE: If you’re interested in reading the speech, it’s here. Frankly, I had thought to do a running commentary on the speech, as I have done in previous years. However, I got about a [...]
