A series of thoughts beginning at 6am:
What is that noise?
Just go back to sleep.
What the hell is that noise?
I'm sure it will stop soon.
Are there mice trying to scratch their way into my truck?
What the hell is that?

Then I got up and looked. Freezing rain hitting the truck. That's nice. It did stop eventually and I got back to sleep. By the time I got up and rolling, several hours later, the ground was dry and there was no sign of anything frozen. An hour and a half after that, the day was done. There is a truck stop outside the lovely little hamlet of Harrold, Texas. This is a little closer than I thought I could get today. I'll have forty or fifty miles left in the morning. Good enough.
It only looks like I'm out in the sticks to the untrained eye, or something. I'm really in a booming metropolis, or something. In any case, I am getting over 1,300 kb/s on the download speed from my Sprint connection. Surprise, surprise. This is plenty of speed to allow me to watch tonight's Fiesta Bowl. I had been generally expecting a blowout win for Texas, but the Big XII's performances in bowls so far have given me even more pause than the Big Eleven's performances. Maybe they really don't play defense out here after all. I don't know.
So I had to agree with the poll voters this time around and replace my old fiancee with the lovely Ms. Julianne Hough. Then it turns out that she's dating some dude and rumors of an impending marriage are swirling around. Looks like my recent engagement might be short-lived. So what do you do then, in this kind of situation? You might think about looking online for a girlfriend, right? But you would be misled badly if you fell for an ad like this one, I can assure you...

Those in the legal community don't seem to be taking me seriously at the moment, but there is no place in our society for such flagrant false advertising. Somebody needs to pay for this.
Is it better to drive a truck?? Be a capitailist, a socialist or Adolph Merckle??
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with Mr. Merckle's work, but from the news reports it sounds like nobody was going to provide him with a bailout. Pretty sad story.
ReplyDeleteIt's safe to say that nothing related to my exploits on the road will ever weigh that heavily on me. So I guess truck driving would have to get my vote.
