  1. I saw Tuesday in city, the most terrible traffic accident. The
    scooter rider was trying to change the lane and hit by the car from
    left and bounced back to right and hit by the car from right. The
    rider was killed instantly. The helmet was crushed so is the head. The
    blood was spilled all over the street. The reason for this accident
    is at the fault of the rider for lack of judgement.
    The rider was young one around 20's years old. There is another reason
    for the accident: America road is like NASCAR racing track, the most
    unsafe place for scooter rider. Scooters are very popular in Europe,
    asia, india. Riding scooter in typical American NASCAR street is like
    speeding a bicycle along NASCAR drivers.

    Hey! I was thinking the same thing! And all this time and his English hasn't
    improved one little bit. If anything, he is regressing.

    I just got my cushion-tired/counterbalanced forklift
    accreditation for NASCAR logistics centre/warehouse.

    I don't even really want the damn'd thing. But I got
    a time-&-a-half 8-hour shift in, just for attending
    the course on a Saturday. Morning. After a swing-shift
    Friday. While coming down with a cold.

    The rear-steering of lift trucks is somewhat familiar
    to me; I can relate the maneouvering to marine craft
    more than to automobiles (I've never driven a car.)
    And there's a 3-dimensional awareness of a dynamically
    shifting CoG that, as a cyclist, I can also relate to.
    A rider on a bicycle contributes a "load centre".

    The scary part of handling such a heavy motorized
    vehicle is that there is no tangible sense of the
    power & mass under one's control. Driving forklift
    makes me miss my bike.

    Things not to do on a forklift I have seen:

    1. Turn into the wrong loading dock. Instead of entering a parked
    semi-trailer, there was a 4-foot drop to the ground.
    2. Looking to the side while driving, and hitting a building column
    right between the forks.
    3. Driving off the paved lot into the grass and getting stuck.
    4. Turning too quickly, and dumping three pallets, each containing
    several thousand empty plastic bottles.

    ha ha ha, Red Cloud. What does your rant have to do with bicycles? Oh yes, I
    remember--for you it is simply enough to rant and rave with no point at all.
    It's time for your medications, little boy.

    I [almost saw, mostly heard-of] a temp labourer getting
    hit by a forklift. Fortunately, he was only brushed.
    But he was nevertheless knocked off his feet, and possibly
    (according to the hearsay) sustained a forehead goose egg.

    AIUI, the victim had just pulled a palletized load o' goods
    out of a can, and was extracating the hand pallet jack from
    the skid when he got hit. The forklift guy that hit him feels
    just horribly, gut-twistingly awful about it.

    Ultimately, we /own/ our respective, individual responsibilities.

    However, I opine that when a temp labour agency sends people to
    a site, they should ensure that those people are acquainted
    with the type of environment they'll be working in. And even
    that isn't enough -- in other, similar places I've worked in,
    the pedestrians have the RoW, and the forklift/high-reach/
    narrow-aisle/walkie guys yield. In the place I'm working now,
    it's the opposite. It's not fair to the workers to turn the
    tables on 'em.

    cheers,
    Tom

    Or maybe, Mongolian Empire. Ghengis Khan,

    were the Ottoman Empires.

    Hi, RC. Do you still sing and ride like true bike?

    the most terrible traffic accident. The

    Was it a motor scooter or a classic push scooter?

    Quoted message said:

    The
    rider was killed instantly. The helmet was crushed so is the head.

    This helmet offered no protection to the rider, therefore by
    inductive reasoning and triple negation, I infer that no helmets
    offer no protection to no riders.

    blood was spilled all over the street. The reason for this accident
    is at the fault of the rider for lack of judgement.

    The rider was exhibiting classic NASCAR White Penis Power behavior,
    but without sufficient Penis to back it up. I would recommend that
    Scooter WPP riders upgrade to fat ass SUV.

    The rider was young one around 20's years old. There is another reason

    If it was a push scooter, then yes, the speed differentials are
    comparable, but some motor scooters have sufficient penis power to
    make them freeway legal. Unfortunately, they do not have as much
    girth or length as fat ass SUV.

    When I worked as a "light industrial" contract worker [1], we were given
    no safety training, and not even provided the OSHA mandated personal
    protective equipment (PPE) unless an OSHA inspector was visiting (a rare
    occurrence).

    [1] Temp is the wrong term, since we were NOT filling in for temporarily
    absent full time workers, but being used as a disposal labor force that
    did not have to be given any benefits.

    Y'know what? I'm physically & mentally exhausted and spent
    from having to drive forklifts around. More so than hand-bombing
    junk (and subsequently filling orders) out of marine
    containers from China.

    It's killing me.

    I'm finally operating motorized vehicles of some sort,
    and it's killing me.

    I hate it.

    I luv my bike all the more, when I get the chance
    to ride 'er.

    I do luv my job, though. It's so much like computer
    processing, except with reality instead of intangibles.
    Logistics is all about input-process-output. Throughput
    & turnover. Clearing bottlenecks and making things work
    better. Putting out "fires" (f-ups created by lusers
    [the day shift]) and keeping things organized and ordered.

    Lord help me, I love it so much.

    The Union has my job description down as "Material Handler."
    Pfffft!!! Fsck that noise! I've gotta attend a union
    meeting and propose they change it to "Logistics Technician."

    cheers,
    Tom
