30 years at the same job. The company was 75 years in the trucking business, and 105 years total in transportation. After receipt of our fleet liability insurance price on 11/07, we decided not to renew, and shut down. Between the way the world works these days with common sense died and gone to H3ll, and the states and feds with their hands in my pockets, and the lawyers who run the country ruining it with 16,010 neurotic rules & laws, it just isn't worth the trouble anymore.

Yesterday I bought a liability policy for a wood lot, in case a trespasser sues me. I had to have notarized the portion of the policy that states I don't want terrorist insurance on my wood lot in rural CT. My signature alone won't do - a notary, anyway... I would prefer the terrorist would drop a dozen or so Daisy Cutters on the lot and I could sell it as cleared building lots, but now I'm ramblin' on

I leave for an interview in a few minutes for a caretaker job. I want my worst day to be when the mower runs out of gas, instead of someone I hired flops a petroleum tank trailer over at New Haven harbor, or the state is here to do another audit of the books.
