    A number of trucks. The most a truck can legally weigh is 40 tons, and that's including the weight of the truck itself. Figure a maximum payload of maybe 22 tons or so.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It'll need to be airlifted.

    I've seen dump trucks in WV with, I shit you not, 4 & 5 tag axles as well as the standard tandem on the rear. That should make its GVW at around 88,500 for 5 tags.....that's a lot for a class 8 dump truck. Am I doing the math right? 34k for the tandems, 12k for the steer, 42500 for 5 tags. I dunno, been a rough day and I reserve the right (and privilege) to be wrong (yet again, today).

    Look, if they have a helicopter that will fly Chris Christie, I'm sure they have something that will airlift 120 tons, with ease.

    I guess I don't need to worry about working on my tan for a while. I dropped off my ballot today and without even asking, the poll worker handed me this:

    Something different....

    So I'm re-watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

    I'm also coming to the conclusion that these movies pretty much suck.

    Not as badly as their follow-up, the trilogy of movies based on The Hobbit. Six hours for a single, smallish book? Smacks of greed to me.
