driver fell asleep watching the zipper....oops.
a tow truck lining up to pull a big rig from one of those "truckrunaway ramps"....he couldn't stop his heavy truck and lost his
air brakes on a downhill run.
i like these old fashioned wind mills.
ok, so i know i should be more original than to mimick breck's idea of "rant and rave"....but i'm just not feeling that creative these days...(too many hours staring at the "zipper" as we truckers call the dotted white line.) anyway, my RANT is concerning all the "four-wheelers", or drivers in regular cars and trucks. for some reason, many don't seem to grasp the concept of BIG in the term "big rig". when drivers pull out in front of us, or change lanes and cut us off, we have a REALLY HARD TIME stopping the 80,000 lbs. that comprise us. in addition, when we make a right turn around a corner, we REALLY do need a lot of room to make the turn without wiping out the fire hydrant, street light, etc. sitting on that corner....so please don't try to "sneak up along our right side" and slip around that same corner ahead of us!! it can result in a crushed "four-wheeler". and last but not least, sometimes we are SLOW when we're looking for a shipper or delivery address ....so if you see us going very slow with flashers on, we're SORRY to cause delay in your race to starbucks....we're not trying to piss you off--really--....we just need to get your toilet paper or whatever it may be to Walmart so you don't run out! Voila, i feel better :)
and my RAVE today is all the amazing sunrises and sunsets that we are privileged to witness as we travel across this beautiful country!

Jameson and i were JUST talking about how stupid people can be...I mean, come on- its NOT like David and Goliath. A tiny car is not going to win. Period! He said he almost killed a pompous guy in a Mercedes today. Duh.
And GORGEOUS sunsets. Those are absolutely beautiful. Keep on postin' those ones :)
Miss you. I was thinking that maybe you could come here for your bday??
Those sunset/sunrise pics are BEAUTIFUL!! Yeah, I definitely couldn't be a truck driver, I would be swearing like a sailor and probably would just run one of those stupid people over just to show them and then end up in jail the rest of my life...good for you to just RANT about it :). Love you!! P.S. Remember to get some photos of you guys too!!
