    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Being an insurance broker for big rigs, I see all sorts of stuff that truckers have their rigs painted or chromed with. Most of it silly, some of it unfit for mixed company, but some of it is just amazing. Here is one such truck, which belongs to John & Amy Holmgren of Shafer, MN:

    Chris Moran -- INFO for you to decide for yourself

    Of course the dog just KNEW that this was a coral

    and not one of the several mimic species found in Florida, and THAT is why he was a hero! He attacked a "poisonous" (sic) snake, and not a harmless scarlet kingsnake, which, presumably, he would have allowed to slither away in peace! How stupid is this ??? One wonders how heroic this dog...

    I hate it when people are so stupid, but that they bring the heat down on the rest of us makes it even worse! Jail time ought to be in their immediate future, but I doubt we'll be so fortunate. Link
