New Yorkers and Mass drivers are the worst.

They suck in ways that have never sucked before.

Being a retired CDL driving instructor for the gubmit your headline grabbed my attention. First time in the canteen, I believe. Thanks for baiting me in here :)

Some folks are good drivers in their dreams. Most haven’t seen a State Drivers Manual since they were 16. Times and rules change. I used to begin my classes by giving them to my students. Flunked my fair share of applicants.

Have a great day and buckle up. Google “Room to Live” by a dear friend. God bless our folks in government service.

Yeah, whatever. I know a driver observer, a race steward, a crew chief and several others who will tell you otherwise. :)

You Failed Your Driver's Test
You only got 5/10 correct.
If you have a driver's license, it needs to be revoked!

The Hidden Door

September 5, 2012

It wasn’t the first time it happened in sports, and it certainly won’t be the last. But perhaps mentioning it again can help keep us from making a similar shameful error.

A college coach—one noted for his Christian character—resigned in disgrace after it was discovered that he had violated rules clearly spelled out by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. One magazine article concluded: “His integrity was one of the great myths of college football.”

This was certainly an embarrassing time for the coach, but here’s the most sobering part: It can happen to any of us. The temptation to go behind the hidden door of secrecy in our lives and do things that dishonor the Lord haunts us all. Indeed, we are all capable of turning our own integrity into a myth—of turning our testimony for Jesus into a sham. No matter what the temptation, we are all vulnerable.

So, how do we avoid giving in? We acknowledge the universality of temptation (1 Cor. 10:13). We recognize the dangerous results of giving in to sin (James 1:13-15). We keep accountable to fellow believers (Eccl. 4:9-12). And we plead with God for help not to fall (Matt. 26:41). Only God’s grace and power can keep us from falling and pick us up when we do.

The devil is clever, deceiving us all,
He cunningly causes the strongest to fall;
But we his sly methods are sure to discern
By making God’s warnings our daily concern. —D. De Haan
Each sin has its door of entrance; let’s keep that door closed.

Read: James 1:12-21

Blessed is the man who endures temptation. —James 1:12
Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 4-7

WELCOME TO THE


(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Showers likely.
Scattered thunderstorms...Mainly this afternoon.
Highs in the mid 80s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Chance of rain 60 percent.

~ Tonight...Mostly cloudy.
Showers likely with scattered thunderstorms in the evening...
Then a slight chance of showers after midnight.
Lows in the lower 70s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Chance of rain 60 percent.

You Passed Your Driver's Test
Congratulations, you got 9/10 correct.
You're a good driver - at least, when you want to be.
Are You a Good Driver?

Ok, here's my problem with this one:
#10 - ok to turn left on a one-way to one-way? Must be city driving.
#7 - how does a pedestrian ALWAYs have the right of way? They think they can just step out in front of a moving vehicle?
It's suppose to be at crosswalks and intersections with walk-don't walk lights.
This is so misleading to pedestrians and causes them to get hit.
#4 - who drives 4 car lengths from another when doing 40? Maybe 1 or 2 car lengths.

So I failed the first time for those reasons.

And I was happy to read that rules change from state to state,
which by the way is totally loony.
But explains why there seems to be so many
new stupid people in the area.

Seriously, the MVA & States really need to come into the 21st century!!!

But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.

The Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
