As this seems to be some major issue these days I just wanna say that I'm not leaving JU.

I delivered the wheel loader this morning, picked up some other crap, ate some food, and checked into the hotel as my load home is still developing.

Mom called me yesterday to see if I'll make it home before her surgery. That's the plan and I hope it'll work out but I couldn't tell her for sure I would be there. She sounded worse.

I met an interesting woman at Applebee's tonight. I was impressed that she didn't seem put off  by my shaggy bearded looks. She seemed quite intelligent, educated, and was actually capable of independent thought. Quite refreshing. Although we disagreed on a couple of ideas, including the causes of the fall of the Incas, she was very open to new ideas and thoughts.  I found that very stimulating. I was quite disappointed to learn that she is married.

I picked up part of my load home today.  If everything pans out I'll pick up the rest of it tomorrow morning. In the mean time I'm hanging out at the hotel. Ya gotta be somewhere.
