    Safety people can never have enough flashing lights and beepers. Next they will sync the beeps with the lights and coordinate the color of lights with the reason.

    The USPS has their stamp distribution center in the underground caves in Kansas City. If I remember the addresses in the caves are laid out by Pillars.

    Yes the person was correct Kurt... The vast majority of what cameout of that old mine was rock for construction projects all around Kansas City... When the big construction boom of late 50's all the way to the mid 80's, A ton of mines was dugout for stone & others for salt... After the mines was used up.. They sat there abandoned... Companies bought them and retrofitted them in late 90's ish? to make them into cold storage bays .... Those old mines will always stay at a constant temperature inside regardless how hot or cold it gets outside....

    The geology in Kansas City just lended itself to this," said Mark Martin, property manager at Parkville Commercial Underground.
    During the Ice Age, continental glaciers advanced into northeast Kansas and northern Missouri, shaping the bluffs that contained two kinds of limestone: Bethany Falls and Argentine. Being a softer rock, thick limestone beds were heavily mined and provided vital sources of paving and building materials.
    And it was relatively inexpensive to dig into from the base of a bluff. Most mining in these parts was horizontal, not vertical, leaving behind vast openings that people and vehicles could enter without descending a deep shaft.

    Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 A good daddy ALWAYS tries to protect his kids, no matter how old you are!!!! 🥰 That’s Love, Dedication, Respect, Teamwork in the fiercest good sense! 🧐 They’re quick to be on their knees to pray for you, Quick to pick you up, Quick to cover your back & Quick to pick up arms in your defense! That’s A Fact, Kurt! 🧐 That’s how I feel about my family!!! 🥰 Be thankful for what you got & what you are. That underground trip was so radically cool! Be glad that you weren’t in a cabover.😳 I would love to do a delivery or pickup like that at least once! And it wasn’t crowded! Well, on the inside anyway. So the ac went out? Bummer! 😵‍💫 The backroad out of the underground was pretty cool & scenic. Love those backroads! 🥰 Glad you made it home & that it’s ok now! I’ve missed a couple of your videos since I’ve been getting new tires for my truck, getting it ready for a trip & attending school stuff. We’re getting there. Take care my friend! 🥰🤩✌️

    @David_Richard_241 2 года назад

    My comment has nothing to do with trucking in caves (which would have really freaked me out). Yesterday I stopped at my local DG to get milk for my Mom. There was a troubled young man at the counter ahead of me getting some essentials and was 50 cents short. I just happened to have some change and gave it to him. Sometimes all it takes to have a moment is two quarters in your pocket. Kurt, I think this speaks to you previous videos regarding talking to those who have served and guys like us who have not, and feeling pain for the folks in your neighboring area that had the tornado damage. Empathy is a double-edged sword. It's a good quality to have, but at the same time it can really sting. (sorry about the rambling. sometimes this old-timer CAN go on.)

    Before I retired, I'd been in and out of 3 or 4 caves in kc and one outside of kc. I was told that those caves were created and used by our military for the storage of munitions back around d the years of ww1 and ww2. I'd been told that by many sources so I assume it was true. You run around many of the same places I've been. And love yr Shepard! And yr vids.take care

    I have to say those back up alarms have a purpose. When I was still in high school I worked as a lumper at a produce warehouse (Pathmark Supermarket) One day our boss and foreman came running down the dock telling us all to get off the dock and go to the break room. One of the Pathmark checkers was outside standing by an open bay door by the dock plate and did not hear a trailer backing into that door. He was crushed and died a soon as the truck pulled forwards after the driver was told someone was pinned. It was horrible. My boss saw him die. 😥

    The Space Center underground storage In Kansas City has the US National Archives stored there, old movies and films are stored there with documents cause is mostly dry place low humidity naturally. You can find US National Archives towards the entrance. Crazy tornados and stormy weather that time of the year in the Midwest. Glad you keep the rubber on the road and got home safely.

    Glad you got back to the family safe! Opie will be glad when he's back shotgun instead of stressing back 'home'
    I really hope I get chance to move out to the US and get a few years trucking before it all goes to hell and get to chase tornado's (yes i'm one of those) Would love a FLD something about em!
