Poor Lions fans... My father went to the game, but I would guess he managed to consume enough beer to take the sting out of it. Of course, I don't know how committed a Lions fan he really is. It seems that he was a Cowboys fan when we lived in Texas and I started rooting for the 'Skins. Then he was a Giants fan (or something like that) for a while, as I continued rooting for the 'Skins. Now, I don't know. I just know that living around people in Michigan when you're not a fan of the Leos or the Wolverines... it's a lot easier when those teams both suck.

It was a windy and tedious drag across I-70 today. This load is a hefty 44,000 pounds so the hills looked like mountains for most of the trip. The wind may have been worse with a lighter load though, so I don't know. Not so bad I guess.

Anyhow, I pulled into the customer's lot a little while ago and sent in my request for time off. This whole street is occupied by a collection of buildings belonging to the consignee. The address in the directions from my employer doesn't appear to exist. After wandering aimlessly for a little bit, I did manage to find a building that matches up with the address on my bills. It has loading docks so that's a good sign. Of course, all of the buildings on this street have loading docks. I'm glad I decided to drive here tonight though. Assuming that I am at the right building, I would have had a bitch of a time backing in here with other traffic around. If I'm not in the right place... well, we'll just hope we don't have to face that one.
