That's not the result of a "retarded" dog. Some breeds have a natural propensity to bark a lot. But even if they do, that's the result of an untrained (or poorly trained dog) that has an ignorant owner.

Also I have noted how earnest the train engineers are about safety; they blow the air horns about 6 times to warn all that heavy traffic away from that little used intersection at 4 a.m.
In most cases they are following the prescribed rulebook protocol mandated by their superiors - or "just following orders". (Where have we heard that phrase before?)

Rain on Bonneville Salt Flats. Try to drive or walk on the stuff. Luckily we were able to unhook and stabilize the 5th wheeler just before it hit. Then the generator works (runs) but no power inside. This laptop will die in an hour or so. BTW shoes now weigh about 10 lb each 4 1/2 kilo I think and are sitting out in the rain. Pick any of the above for my annoyance. I will be posting some UNREAL car pictures and think I'll own the name this car contest. HA HA. Later guys. A poor sap just tried to get in the area nd park at his camper, he's sitting about 25 ft from us and tires just making that whirring noise that says you aren't going anywhere. Forgot the gale force wind, nice rainbow though.

gas powered generaor wouldn't work waded mud alj night trying to fix it. Thought it as our end after all it was new and less than 3 hours on the meter. Turned out to be the regultor, and paid $74.00 shipped over night for a $20.00 part that wasn't warranted from the factory new. Hate new defective stuff when you are within spitting distance from nowhere.

What no one annoyed anymore besides me? How annoying. Ha Ha Arkansas low humor. We set up at the 3-4 mile area of the track, and the radio on in the truck to hear the speeds, they broadcast on Citizens Band and AM. A bunch of middle aged ladies (female dogs) comes along, sets up 20 ft away and turns on their junk boom box, and immediately our truck radio starts shrieking in agony from their radiating intermediate frequencies. THEY ask us to turn off our radio because it annoys THEM. Almost started the truck to idle as the exhaust of burning 15-40 oil smells BAD, but turned ours off. Then they turned theirs down so they could chat and we couldn't hear ANYTHING. End of rant.
