I was up at school for the day (I had a band function I had to attend), and on my way home, I was behind this tractor trailer for six miles between Spring Grove and Hanover (not that it really matters), and the entire way, the truck couldn't have gone faster than 35 mph. The speed limit on that stretch of road is 45 mph the majority of the way. To make matters even worse, the truck had those small LED tail lights, and whenever it went over any bumps the lights flickered and half the time it looked like the brake lights were on because the lights flickered that much. Also, I saw the truck driver over the center line of the road on multiple occasions going around turns.

I realize that driving trucks isn't easy, but it can't be that difficult, can it? Maybe it was a driver in training or something...?

NVM about the whole4 days a week.  Every Wednesday, we get out 45 minutes early..i got totally confused..

So, I was driving (getting paid for it..mind you..had to run to a different store), and I keep swerving on the road, so Im like WTF?!  I get there, and notice I have a flat tire.  So, I call up to work and tell them to clock me out, but they said dont worry about  it..just get up here ASAP.. so I did.  My parents had to drive me up there.  I come home, and looking at the tire, a FREAKING WOODCHIP was the culprit.. a woodchip.  COME ON NOW!  ..uggh.  So, if the tire can't be patched up, I have to buy a new oen.

That can probably be patched.  :twothumbs:

LOL! The folks over at the emulation board are spreading rumors that TWC has been bought out. See the thread for yourself if you haven't already.  :rofl2:

So, I gotta say...the Wii is an amazing piece of equipment.

So far, I have two Wii remotes, one nunchuck, and one classic controller.  The classic controller is used for probably the neatest feature of the Wii...the Virtual Console.  Via the Wii Shop Channel, you buy points (100pts = $1) to buy classic games for your system.  These games range from Super Mario Brothers for the original NES to Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64...lots of fun.

The local Fox affiliate, WPMT 43, is occasionally crawling information about a Severe Thunderstorm Warning in effect in Berks county. Each time information crawled across the bottom of the screen, there was no audible alert. Then they showed a map with the warnings on it, and the warning for Berks county was shown, along one for Adams County, which expired 45 minutes ago.

Isn't that against FCC regulations to be showing the warning, but have no audible alert?

I don't think so. There's never an audible alert when the Baltimore stations run scrolls. :no:
