Illegal vibrating condom...

Pool photo by Mike Derer. 201 people wrongly convicted of crimes sentenced to 2500 years in prison have been released because DNA evidence has cleared them. This photo is of Bryon Halsey, convicted of murdering 2 kids in NJ. His neighbor, who testified against him back in 1988, was apparently responsible.

Item #2 - We're headed 378 miles to Eureka, MT (a few miles from the Canadian border) to get a load of lumber going 1306 miles to Mead, NE. We'll try and get something in NE to get us home for the holiday weekend. As any experienced driver knows, the holiday is when you get home. If we have to be on the road over Memorial Day and get home the following week - that's fine. The only weird thing is that the load time is for 8am in the morning. I said to move up the pick time to 1pm - that way I can recharge my hours and have 70 to get us home. The answer I got was that this load was supposed to be picked up today, so I have to be there in the am. If they needed it picked up today, all they would have had to do is tell me last night. I could have picked up the load, shut down for 34 and recharge my hours and still deliver on time Mon. at 8am. Whatever. I'll probably head that way in a while and find a spot to shut down on I-90E, before heading north on US93. I'm telling you folks, even at the best of companies, the communications sometimes really sucks.

Item #3 - Do you use condoms? I heard an advertisement for Trojan condoms that employs a vibrating ring around the penis. Apparently the sale of this product is illegal in some states. Are they kidding? Why is our government (at the state level) involved in what people do in their bedroom? Another extremist conservative chicken shit Christian legislator I'm sure is responsible for this nonsense. Can you say "buc, buc, buuuc!"
