Oh, I'm sure we'll get our share! Hey, I can't help it if I like it warm out! Nothing better than sitting out on my back patio, or even better- my boat, enjoying a cold beer in the warm sunshine!!

KOOK OF THE DAY!!!

On this date in 1927 the world's first long, mechanically-ventilated underwater tunnel, the Holland Tunnel, opened between New York and New Jersey beneath the Hudson River. The tunnel is named for Clifford Milburn Holland, its chief engineer, who died before the project was completed. The tunnel is made up of two tubes located in the mud beneath the river, each with two lanes. The north tube is 8,558 ft (2.61 km) long; the south tube is 8,371 ft (2.55 km).

don't feel bad jerry,
a whole bunch of people either got laid off or fired or were forced to quit.
hey there's always unemployment! hey werner enterprises is always hiring
for different jobs. thats that big trucking company on i-80 and hwy 50 in millard. they have a website you can apply on too. i don't know what you do for living or what your trade is. but it's worth a try. thats a good company to work for. they have good benifits.

Yeah, I like a little harrassment! Good evening gents. Jerry, sorry to hear about your job, that sucks. Anything I run across Job wise, I'll let you know.


Terry, that sucks about them taking away your access. Guess we'll have to harrass each other on opposite shifts!
