Black Box
The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged that
they had for the past five years covertly funded a project with
US auto makers whereby the auto makers installed black boxes in
four-wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in
fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before
the crash.
They were surprised to find in 45 of the 50 states that the last
words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were,
"Oh, Crap!"
Only the states of Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama,
Texas and Tennessee were different, where over 89.3 percent of
the final words were: "Here, hold my beer and watch this."

I've been traveling and working. Just got back from LasVegas and now I'm headed to Atlanta this weekend. Lost $100.00 of my own money and $200.00 that one of my clients gave me to play with. We stayed a couple of miles from the strip and about five miles from the Hilton where I went to a computer convention. I had a pedometer to register miles walked and it indicated we walked 35 miles in five days. I lost another 4 pounds.
