A group called Protect Internet Freedom is hoping to score laughs and support against government regulations of the web with a satirical clip (below) made in a porn movie setting. It comes amid a debate on the planned net neutrality regulations by the FCC.
Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differently by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication. Continue reading
In my previous posting I mentioned my idea of Pennsylvania providing snow removal equipment at truck weigh stations.
I see it as a way to help truckers comply with any law enacted that would ensure trucks operating within our state, or entering Pennsylvania, to be clean of ice and snow on their trailers. It would also generate income for PA and pay for the equipment if a small fee were charged to the trucker (or their employer), if they chose not to clean their equipment themselves. Continue reading
Sen. Lisa Boscola (D) is attempting to pass a bill that would allow police to fine a tractor-trailer driver $25 – $75 if they fail to remove snow and ice from atop their vehicles.

Many will risk that the snow/ice on their roofs will quickly come off when they enter onto the highway and not injure or kill someone. Continue reading

High upon a promontory on South Bass Island in Lake Erie at Put-in-Bay, Ohio, sits the Owners and Captains Quarters of the former Great Lakes Shipping Boat, The Benson Ford. The boat was built by Henry Ford and named after his grandson.
The Benson Ford was originally a cargo ship for the Ford Motor Company.
The interior was designed by Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison was a passenger. From the time it was built in 1924, the boat was used to transport coal and iron ore across the American Great Lakes. After being decommissioned in 1981 it was left to rust for four years before the front part of the ship was removed and perched on top of an 18-foot cliff, to serve as a really lovely home.
