Watching the weather forecast for my area and they have issued a cold weather warning. It's supposed to get down into the 40s tonight. brrrrrrrr

The arrest itself was a let down. When he kicked in the door to the shabby hotel room and found his quarry attempting to finish off yet another victim, she surrendered without a fight. She simply dropped the bottle of thallium laced wine she was trying to force down the other woman's throat, climbed off the bed upon which she had her intended victim pinned, and simply stood there waiting for him to throw her to the floor and cuff her. She never said a word as he read her rights to her, he ...

Ok, a bit of silliness. Follow the instructions to determine your new name and post it here. Don't be shy. Mine is posted in the title. The following is excerpted from a children's book, Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants, by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names... So:- 1. Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first name: a = snickle b = doombah C = goober d = cheesey e = crusty f = g...

Socrates and I finally made it home again. I really hate Miami. The traffic is ungodly. On the way home I called the vet to see if they can get Socrates in to be neutered while I am home this week. What with Thanksgiving and all I was expecting to be told no. Instead, knowing that he and I are truckers, she said she would squeeze him in on Wednesday. Good news for me, maybe not so good for Socrates. We're settled in at home once again. It's a tad chilly here and I had to fire up the spa...

I'm parked at a truckstop about 2 hours North of Miami. It's about as close as one can get for the night as there are no truckstops closer to Miami and if there were I wouldn't want to spend the night in one. Miami is Florida's Crime Central, so this is close enough to suit me. I found some more of the 3 for 1 triple feature DVD packs and bought a couple. The one I am watching first has the movies 15 Minutes (which is an excellent film with a pretty impressive cast including Robert DeNiro,...

While a big bed always feels strange to me I got a pretty good night's sleep here at the motel. My truck has a large bed for a truck, but it's still nothing compared to a king sized bed. My bed at home is actually just a twin and is smaller than the one in my truck, so a king always feels odd to me, but it's nice to have the room to spread out. When I checked into this room I noticed that there was very little toilet paper left on the roll, I guess housekeeping missed it. I tracked down on...

Yesterday afternoon I picked up some crates and barrels associated with large industrial compressors (driers, filters, etc.) going to the port in Miami and destined for Venezuela. I can't deliver them until Monday and Miami was only 11 hours from where I picked them up in NC. I wandered down into SC and parked for the night last night. Today I drifted on down as far as GA and said to hell with it for the day. It was lunch time so it was as good a time as any to stop. Being as I have a lot...

Ok all of you PC lemmings out there, now is your chance to really make a difference in this country. We all know that obesity is the single biggest health problem facing America today. We have to do something to save these fat bastards from themselves, and we need to act quickly! We know what's best for them even if they don't and we need to force it upon them for their own good. I don't know about you but I am tired of all of those fat bastards sweating all over everything and taking up more...

A few days ago I was rolling through Arkansas and heard a driver bitching on the CB about a particular small truckstop near the Texas state line. Arkansas is one of those states that has banned smoking everywhere except in places where those under the age of 18 are not permitted. This particular small truckstop opted to be a smoking establishment and simply ban any minors from entering. They are trying to cater to their main business, truckers, the majority of whom do smoke. This crybab...

I have decided to take up serial killing as a hobby. I will be the perfect serial killer, and I will have a very specific victim profile. I will travel the country killing serial killers. It should give the press some very interesting headlines, don't you think? I may throw in the occasional mass murderer just to keep things interesting.

I was checking out the on sale DVDs in this truckstop and ran across a pretty good deal. A case that contained Lethal Weapon 1, 2, & 3 for $13.88. Three movies for the price of one. Yeah, they're old and I've seen them all, but who cares? They're pretty good action flicks with a bit of humor so they're fun to watch. You find your entertainment where you can out here on the road, and once in a while you run across a decent deal. If you know where I could have purchased the same collectio...

I have been chasing a pretty nasty storm all day. I have been slowly catching up to it and have been seeing some of the damages left in it's wake; broken tree limbs, damaged signs, and debris scattered around. I am in Hammond, LA, almost to the Eastern state line. I can actually see the storm line from here. It obviously just passed through here as the pavement is wet and there are puddles everywhere. The ditches along side the interstate are flooded with rapidly moving muddy water. I've b...

I pulled off the interstate at Lafayette, LA to get some breakfast. I was waiting for the light to change at the end of the ramp when this blue car pulls into the intersection waiting to make a left to the on ramp. When the light changed did this person go ahead and make their turn, thus clearing the intersection? Nope, this stupid asshole just sits there blocking the intersection. Ok, fine. I ease off the clutch and start moving forward while blasting the air horns. He finally gets the i...

When I got to the factory in Houston this morning to deliver the two presses I was greeted by a very tight situation. It was a tight turn into the gate and then an even tighter drive through one building and into a tight lot. "This is ridiculous" was the only thing I could think. But I did it. As I was pulling off the tarp, with a guy's help, it didn't want to slide over the presses. We had to really lean into it and yank hard. Well it finally reached a point where it pulled free. Very sud...
