How I did it
It made me
A Daytime Orb!!! 
How I did it: I was researching Area 51 for quite a few years when I decided to drive out there. I knew there were few landmarks, and I knew the highway I needed to be on. I recognized Groom Lake Road when I saw it, then The Mailbox! I was so excited, I stopped, set my camera on the roof of my car and self timed this picture and look what came up! I've sent this picture to those supposedly in the know and they say it is a psychic spy. One of the p… Read how I did it…

I wonder why?
How I did it: I was flashing pictures into the night to see what would come up. I can't figure what the orb phenomena is, although I know the CCD camera's these days all get them. I was living in San Diego, California at the time, walking near a construction site. I threw a firecracker into a large conduit, just to hear the echo and get some idea how large and deep the conduit might be. After the firecracker exploded, I turned opposite the conduit… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Fact is, cannabis is not addicting. Sure there's some anxiety if you're without it for a few days. There's a song: "Every year along about this time it all goes dry.

broker/carrier

Hauling brokered freight is the dregs. It’s backhaul. Hauling freight that is posted on load boards is table scraps thrown to ravenous wolves, which admittedly I’m one. Brokers have their “preferred carriers” which I’m having difficulity with that for a variety of reasons. After satisfying their regular carriers, brokers post any remaining freight to load boards after everyone has skimmed from it, leaving little to owner operators trying to make a living.
Seems the only way to make a decent living in this business is to get my brokering authority. I’ll contract with shippers, take my 15% on the miles and post the loads to load boards. That way, I’m at the top of the food chain, hauling enough to keep me happy and my bills paid. What I can’t handle, I’ll post to the load boards and contract with carriers to handle it; taking my cut on their miles. This is a dog eat dog cutthroat business and I’ve simply got to move up the food chain or go broke.
