The Magic of Walt Disney

One of the secrets to the magic behind all of Walt Disney's creations is it suspends reality for us all, young and old. Whether it is walking down Mainstreet USA which harkens back a century to the heartland of America with its quaint shops, brick walkways, smiling children, background music playing everywhere you go and street performers in spats and pin stripe jackets. If you have done your research, you will

Having visited Disney dozens of times in the last 25 years, the magic still envelopes my senses with each step. Sit with Goofy in front of Tony's Restaurant, take a ride on the Train to Adventure Land, have a haircut in the Barber Shop, it really doesn’t make much difference. If you believe in magic, then it doesn’t matter how old you are, Disney will put a smile on your face.

October 1st, Disney World is celebrating 40 years. So it is appropriate that the entire Walt Disney Resort will be joining in with Project XL – 4 days of special events including the best parade in the Magic Kingdom of all time – during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Social Networking

I bet you didn't know that TRI has had a Blog for more than 2 years. That's right, we have articles going back to 2009! We have written articles introducing new technology, complaining about credit card companies and health insurance companies, art, meditation, changing perspectives along with new TRI products and employees. Take a moment and look through blog.trif.com and the more than 50 articles.

We also use other social networking sites to help us get the word out. If you would like to follow us on Facebook, try this link: Facebook or look me up at this link. I can also be found on Twitter at this address: Twitter. And there is Linkedin. See our profile here. Or, you can click on the icons at the right, they will take you there as well.

The TRI Web Site: www.trif.com

TRI has had the domain www.trif.com since 1997. It was one of the last 4-character domain names available, Many people ask us what does trif stand for, so I thought I would tell you. You can read my blog article on it written back in November of 2010, What is a TRIF.

But really, when TRI started in 1982, our primary business was publishing freight rate tariffs for trucking companies in New England and, in fact, the country. We also published guiding tariffs for rules and mileage with the ICC (Interstate Commerce Commission). A SCAC (standard carrier alpha code) code is required to publish tariffs and our SCAC is TRIF.

So you might still find on file with the DOT (the Department of Transportation took over the duties of the ICC which was dismantled in the 1990's) our Mileage tariff ICC TRIF 105 and our classification and rules tariff ICC TRIF 100.

We have spent a great deal of time working on the content for our web site and soon we will be giving it a completely new face. Stay tuned. When you have a moment, take a look at our fresh new content at trif.com.

9-11 Remembered

It has been 10 years since 9-11 when the twin towers were destroyed by terrorists. I visited shortly after and took these photo's. I thought you might be interested in what it looks like now.

The pictures above were taken a few months after 9-11-2001
