are common. “Hey, can’t you read the signs?” Trains? Not so much.
How Democrats hold power in Colorado
This is another deep dive in the Democrat cesspool. If you don’t live here you will probably skip. However, you may find the same patterns in your state.
Not a car sales story but amusing
This was soon in service giving candy to kids. As they drove past civilians, the kids liked to throw rocks at them. In response, the turret gunner would give the kids Jolly Rancher candy via the wrist rocket.
Soldier inspired win/win civil engagement!

The head of the U.S. Department of Transportation threatened Monday to
withhold $24 million in federal funding from the state of Colorado for what he
described as a slow response to a major violation of federal commercial
driver’s license regulations.

The current uproar about unqualified drivers of big rigs brings to mind being stationed in Europe sixty years ago. We soldiers were required to have a USAREUR specific driver’s license. We spent two days learning road signs and laws. Passing grade required was 98%.
Passing was not optional. Anyone who has been in the military remembers what failing “not optional” brought on you.
Here in the USA? A sample of road signs you just might need to be able to read while driving a big rig.

And Polis is whining because he tried to get disaster money from FEMA and got turned down. The whole trucking thing is coming to a head quickly, thanks to DOT/HHS!
Disaster money. Devil is in the details that I don't know. Real disaster, 3rd Congressional District with a Republican Congressman. My suspicion is Polis, et al, want control of the money. IMO, the big problem with foreign born drivers is respect, more specific, a lack of respect for our laws, customs, and other truckers.
Maybe they need a couple signs like that between Palmer/Wasilla and Anchorage Alaska. They had wind gusts over a hundred miles an hour last week. The roofs blowing off made the news but I’m sure they had trucks and trailers tipped over too
Wind is always a factor with any high profile vehicle. Drivers beware.
The slingshot story was amusing. WSF will remember the C-ration meal of ham and beans, a congealed mass of solid unknown substance that was called by the troops ham and mother-something-or-anothers. Obviously, that was edited in the interests of public sanitation; use your imagination. Troops in Vietnam would throw them to Vietnamese kids, who were anything but stupid and quickly learned what they were, after which they would throw them back. Good practice for when they graduated to VC and started throwing grenades.
What an excellent writ rocket tale! Well done, those men.
Merry Christmas!
There is strange, then WSF strange. I liked Ham and Lima Beans C-Rats. I especially liked bartering with the haters when that was their draw. We wired pots to the exhaust manifolds of the bridge erection boats. Drop in C-rats and soon had something hot to eat. 18 hours on a German river is seldom a good time.
The 1/4 Infantry were very successful on their first one year deployment in securing the Kandahar region. The picture is him standing in front of a vehicle he was driving his third day there. The trainer directed him in a direction that had not been cleared and they hit a left over Soviet mine.
