'The Doc' has returned from Vegas...
...and has learned many things.
the Doc says...
#1 It is not possible to fit 432 cubic feet of personal goods into a trailer designed to hold 240 cubic feet of personal goods. This dilemma was approached from every angle, but to no avail.
Scientific conclusion: A larger trailer was obtained for the journey.
#2 The people working at the *-Haul distributor, where I obtained my *-Haul trailer, should be hung by their unmentionables for incompetence, both in renting sub-standard equipment in need of maintenance, and taking over an hour to do so.
#3 Truck drivers who attempt to pass other Trucks while going up hill should also be hung by said unmentionables along side *-Haul employees.
#4 I was correct in the outcome of the Steelers' vs. Ravens' contest, only I had given the Ravens' too much credit, while not giving the Steelers' enough.
Scientific conclusion: The next contest between these two teams will result in a 216-7 win by the Steelers.
#5 Uphill grades in excess of 6% suck!!!
(this applies to vehicles towing upwards of four thousand pounds)
#6 Downhill grades in excess of 6% RULE!!!
(this applies to all vehicles...including those towing upwards of four thousands)
#7 It is a proven fact that whenever I drive across the state of Kansas, be it North, South, East or West, I will be driving into the wind.
#8 Tipping toll booth attendants is apparently a
#9 Tipping State Highway Patrolmen is also a
Scientific evaluation of trip from Las Vegas, Nevada to Jarrettsville, Maryland:
Though a long and tedious journey, it was well worth the effort, if only to experience the cultures of different people across this great land of ours.
For the Suggestion Box:
Someone please put toilet facilities somewhere on I 70 between Salinas and Green River!!! The Doc has trouble believing that in this day and age, there is still a 110 mile stretch of modern road with No gas or toilet facilities. I blame the Clinton administration for this catastrophe of inter-state travel.

odds of arriving safely at your destination without incident while towing a 6'x12' *-Haul trailer rented in Las Vegas:
45,887,464,894,225,674 : 1
I have a better chance to win the Maryland State Lottery tonight for $56M...
whose numbers, by the way, will be...
2,4,9,23,31 and a bonus # of 13
the Doc expects kickback from all winners.

From: ghettoville, abq, nm
Been a lot of places, seen a lot of things....
Yep, Z, I know the stretch of I-70 of which you speak. Personally, I try and do this stretch at night, turn the lights off in the cab of the truck, and then (don't try this at home, kids, I am a professional) I figure out how to open the door just enough to stand on the running boards, my right hand on the steering wheel, and hold the door at the right position to maintain correct airflow, then .....
Hey, it's not my trailer I'm striping
