Tonight finds me in Lebanon, IN. I am on my way to Jacksonville, FL with an over weight load. As usual, Indiana was slow in getting the permit out so I am not as far along as I would like to be, but such is the nature of trucking.

I will likely be spending a little down time in Florida as my driver's license expires later this month and I will be visiting the wonderfully inefficient DMV to renew it. Can't make a living without it.

After I parked in the truck stop here tonight I accidentally walked into the bar next door. Seriously, I really meant to go into the truck stop but somehow I stumbled through the fence and found myself in the bar instead.

I was amazed that the bartender knew me and even knew what brand of beer I drink. Truly amazing.

Well, since I was there I decided to just go with the flow and ordered a BBQ sandwich to go with my beer. What the heck, I was there anyway, right?

As it turned out I had a pretty decent time talking with a couple of fellow drivers about trucking, politics, world affairs, and the fact that their grandfathers smoked pipes "way back when".

Well, at least the bartender was cute.
