A Quick Intro...

Driving into the sunset is not as romantic as it sounds. It can be blinding when there's no clouds and the visor no longer covers the glare and you can't raise the seat anymore. But I-10 curves north in Hill Country to El Paso. I caught every glance I could out the driver side window at the oranges and yellows peeking out from behind the bluish-gray bald mountains. It put a nice pause in the hustle and bustle to get from Laredo to here at the El Paso yard to pick up our assigned load to Nashville. That was six hours ago and the load's still not here. Hurry up and wait! Once we get that load, we'll have 27 hours to get there... not an easy task governed at 62 mph. That is, if we still get the load. As it so often happens out here on the road, plans get jerked around. But I'm still hoping we get to visit my Tennessee folks that live just up the road from the Petro at exit 188. We need a 34 hr. restart anyway. Doug is calling me Rudolph my nose is so red from being sick the last three days. Doug jinxed me. I haven't been sick in two years. He caught the cold first last week and asked me, "How come you never get sick?" Then two days later, bam, a doozy. Much worse than his was. But I did learn something. Scott tissue is not nice for the nostrils... but it's all I had until we could find a Wal-Mart with Puffs Plus. God Bless Puffs Plus! Pun intended. Ah, how you have to compromise living on a truck. Blowing your nose isn't easy while driving either. Or using nasal spray. You have to be quiet crafty at times. Anyway, my hours are up and I'm going to lay my congested head down. From the blogs I've looked at tonight, this site seems to have a lot of people akin to truckin' hubby and me. So, ASAP I'm going to transfer some old postings from another site and get started on some of the other ideas in this weird head of mine... so stay tuned! Looking forward to meeting some interesting people!
