    I don't know...

    Maybe you should move closer to the border

    heck I live in WA, and most of the drivers I see have a nice tan...

    Not sure what they are, doesn't make a difference to me.

    Does it to you?

    husband was a trainer for about a year plus, not anymore. Id say it was about 50/50 that he got. Old and then like really old, young and extremely young. Last group of boys he trained for team driving, It was like frat house in a semi. they were video taping each other diving into snow hills almost naked. :shock: :shock:

    All this to say, there are all kinds out there, jerks, and nice guys, regardless of skin color. Keep your eye out for the good guys cuz they are out there.

    Sure you have, you just don't remember. Smokey and the Bandit, little Chinese guy in an auto transport, he ripped the door off of a squad car.

    Count your blessings. You have no idea what you are missing by not being able to understand the language from the ones with the towels wrapped around their heads... The heads above their shoulders....

    White men... White women... Black men..... Black women..... Asian men.... Asian women.... Hispanic men.... Hispanic women..... Native American men.... Native American women..... I think the only ones I can honestly say I have not seen are the women with the towels wrapped around their heads... :wink:
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)
