Clean tarps?

I've hauled pretty much everything that needs to be tarped. Cleaning them isn't really necessary. You're not going to be putting them on any loads of fine linens or small children that shouldn't get dirty.

How EXACTLY do you pull up satelite views of destinations?

Here’s a strange one for you, Rainy: Looking at the street views of where I used to live in Norfolk, VA, the satellite image of the front of the house is current… It shows the addition the new owners put onto the house. The street view image of the back of the house is at least six years old… it shows my Jeep sitting in the driveway! We moved in 2013. Go figure.

The satellite views and the street views are captured and updated at different times, one by car and one by satellite.

Failed drug test, never done drugs.

From LiveScience.com: Poppy seeds naturally contain the compounds morphine and codeine, and so consumption of some products with poppy seeds can trigger false positives results for these drugs. In a 1987 study, five members of a lab baked cookies containing about 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of a poppy-seed filling that they bought from the grocery store. Two hours after eating several cookies, all of the lab members tested positive for opiates. The concentration of the drug was greater than 300 ng/mL, which was the minimum cutoff used by the test.

In 1998, the Department of Health and Human Services changed the cutoff to 2,000 ng/mL in order to avoid false-positive results from eating poppy seeds, according to a 2008 review study. However, most laboratories continue to use lower cutoffs, the researchers of that study said.

DOT physical turns ugly

After my sleep study the sleep lab gave me a printout of the entire night's activity, showing everything all the sensors monitored. I'm sure it wasn't faked. I averaged 77 "events" per hour the first 4 hours. Then they woke me up and put me on a CPAP. After I got mine, it was a different world. I had no idea how exhausted I really was until I started sleeping with it. I was never in REM sleep, ever. Now, I feel like a different person entirely.
