Mary Poppins/Maria Poppins/Athena and i have been kicking around the idea of going back into trucking some time in the future as a transcontinental sleeper team (best money).

But we decided we'd have to have a youtube channel or website or something to share our adventures with the landbound.

How could we research cameras and mics? Preferably something like a security camera that we could mount above the windshield on a swivel -- with zoom -- controllable by a joystick like they do at Wal-mart?

Just kicking it around. Has anyone noticed truck traffic is up?

Bigtime - especially coming from the ports. Train traffic is up too.

yeah steve -- roadway and yellow are hiring around here (rare because they are teamster shops) with big banners. Plus CCX (non-union used to be Consolidated Freightways), UPS etc and all the OTR outfits. It's nice to drive around town in this area and suddenly see "NOW HIRING" banners. Maybe it will help some people to decide to get off unemployment.

UPS surprised on the upside too.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

yeah i've noticed it over the last few weeks. Look for fuel prices to go up -- gas AND diesel. probably a worthwhile downside though.
