Hugh:

Well said. Someday when I get a little older, I am only 51, so still a little wet behind the ears :-)), I will be glad to have a little of the wisdom you show in a lot of your posts.

Now for a comment -- yup, get the tractor trailers off the highways. That will save fuel, lower emmissions by orders of magnitude and save lives, never mind wear and tear on our nations highways. We need to use rail again -- unfortunately the railroads overpriced themselves out of the market and had to start shutting down lines -- CN and CP are prime examples... also, keep the government's fingers out of it.

Rail really is the best way to ship large amounts of materiel economically. The only other avenue - where practical is ship -- Great Lakes, East and West coast need to take more advantage of these modes.

Also, revitalizing our railroads and our ships will provide many more jobs in building/maintaining railroad infrastructure, equipment and of course ship building, which would be a boone for both of our countries. Course the US will have to modify the Jones Act to conform with NAFTA - that way best bidder wins for both sides.. also, both of our countries would have to modify how we flag our vessels -- instead of flags of convienence we need to make sure US ships are flagged in the US and Canadian ships are flagged in Canada - instead of Liberia or Panama as the case may be. We also need to make sure we use national crews - and not allow companies to use crews from Asia and other nations who will work for a pittance...

Ok, off of me soapbox now... :-))))

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac. ... [Read Article]
