Bob,

You also live in the land of the "Ice Road Truckers".  Those brave gents up in Yellow Knife.  Down here in the U.S. we can only load 40 thousands pounds...

I used to work with a developer  that grew up in Damascus.  One day as a bunch of us were going to lunch somebody asked him about...

OK, I'm taking a quick break to jump in.  It's at least 40 on normal weeks.  I typically stay late a few days each week.

Then there are the times when...

I'd love to read all the posts and even respond but I'm going to have to do a solid 12 to 14 today so that I can turn the phone...
