Inspiration comes from the damnedest places sometimes.  Like, in my case, from a rest area along I-80 in eastern Pennsylvania.  After rolling over to Hazleton and making my drop/hook this morning, I received a new assignment immediately.  My next pickup is scheduled for 1am in Delaware Water Gap, right on the edge of the state.  So I drove eastward for a little while and then set up shop to see if I might catch a few winks today.

No luck on the sleep, but I did have time to do some reading, browse the interwebs, and watch a movie.  Zack and Miri Make a Porno - decent.  Not great, but decent.  Now you might think that the aforementioned inspiration came from that movie.  After all, what fat shmuck who lives a nondescript life in the suburbs wouldn't want to have a run at that Elizabeth Banks?  I mean, come on.  But no, that wasn't the inspirational event.

I was perusing the day's headlines when I stumbled across what just might be my ticket to a life of crime.  If they can't jail this dude, then I've got some catching up to do.  I'm not breathing with the aid of a respirator just yet.  Hopefully I can think of a more creative crime spree than scamming restaurants (although I do like me some jerky), but I suppose we'll have to see if that bit of inspiration strikes on my way across to Cincinnati. 

My delivery schedule is one of those 00:00 deals, so I don't know if I'll have to drive all night or if I'll have an easy weekend.  In any case, this week's miles will be a pretty decent rebound from last week's debacle.  I think I'll head over to the shipper a little early and see what's what.
