Despite my best efforts I won't be making it home for Thanksgiving. Things just didn't play out for it to happen. Oh well. I guess It'll be a truckstop Thanksgiving meal this year. Won't be the first time.
I am currently sitting in KY waiting to see if dispatch is going to be able to find me something out of here. As many places are closing up shop early today it's highly doubtful they will be able to do so. I am hoping they'll just tell me to dead-head back to the yard in WI.
It's raining here but unseasonably warm. There is a cold front coming down though and if I head north I know I'll be running into snow at some point. It's that time of year.
If they send me back to the yard I'll probably stop at a truckstop just north of Indy. It has a bar next door and that seems as good a place as any to spend the evening. It's only about 3 hours from here. I was there last night and the bartender told me she expects the place to be pretty busy tonight. Sounds like a good time to me, and better than just sitting around in a truckstop.
I'll probably wind up getting a room some time tonight or tomorrow if I can find one at a reasonable rate. Holidays tend to be rather expensive when it comes to hotels. Worse case I'll wait until I get back to the yard where we have a set rate with the hotel there.
For now I'll just sit and watch it rain while waiting for the phone to ring.
