A few years ago I took the 2004 set of this data and produced a set of iPod Notes files using this data. It allows one to easily drill down to a particular NA number and find out what a vehicle is carrying. I find this quite fun while sitting in traffic and wondering what various vehicles are carrying.

Those trucks with 1075 and the little silver cans? Propane or Butane. 1203 on a tanker? Gasoline.

If you'd like to check out the work, it's here: NA Numbers for iPod

Please know that this comes with the VERY IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER indicating that this is a UNOFFICIAL, DERIVATIVE COPY which SHOULD NOT BE RELIED ON FOR ANY REASON (except your own amusement and entertainment).

When I get some time (maybe this weekend or so) I'll redo the work for the 2008 data set.

ROSSinDETROIT: That would haunt my dreams. In fact, now it will.

Are you actually near Detroit? That photo was taken in Shelby Township along 22 Mile, just west of M-53 (VanDyke).

This reminds me of a squirrel I found the other day while riding along a road near my house. It appears that someone attempted to preserve and pose it, but gave up and left it next to a telephone pole:

Yes, it is holding a piece of caution tape. No, I don't know why.

I recently had a problem with mold in the drain of one of my bathrooms. It was really interesting because it only collected in the undersink bits, not the wall.

I took photos, and they are here if you are interested. It just seemed like a solid, slimy mass at first, but when broken up it looked more like canned fish.
