I do remember when MTV played music videos. I was a youngen but I still remember when they premeired the THRILLER VIDEO! I miss the old MTV!!

As far as the girls gone wild bus goes. Eh, those videos are poop. Boobs are nice, but those videos don't do it for me. I found it funny though, that none of the girls get any money for flashing their boobies, yet the guy that came up with the website is worth more than 100 million dollars!! I wish I had THAT IDEA! Makes my little www.findlaysucks.com site look retarded...oh wait...it is....

I have a friend who is convinced both parties are pretty much the same group, working at different angles. I'm not quite that conspiracy minded, but it is really disheartening when so few real person issues are being argued by the so few people in a position to get something done about it.

Actually the little scooter this woman was riding would in fact fit in a truck, it's like a skateboard with a seat and a set of handlebars. I know you can't fit a full size bike in a truck, but there are folding bikes that could, but you'e probably be committed to sleeping in your top bunk if you have one if you want to carry one of those. Even if it's just my rollerblades I'll carry something along with me. Another good reason to get your own truck eventually, and get a nice 102 inch sleeper.

One interesting thing to observe about religious services is that overall they've calmed down a
lot since the development of electronic amplification. A hundred years ago the average sermon
was a great display of shouting and waving of arms, necessitated by the fact that you did not
have a microphone to amplify your voice. Things settled down when you could just speak normally
into a microphone. But this is just an overall tendency, there certainly were quiet sermons then and
loud ones now.

Actually I wouldn't be at all surprised if the OTR trucking was eventually taken over by robotically controlled vehicles. wtih the nasty aggravating city driving left to the monkeys with the big brains that can assess a gazillion variables even though they make occasional mistakes. If this does eventually happen at least I can be glad I got in on the action now.

People do drive stupid for sure, think the worst wreck I have seen is a swift truck came down through the median, hit another truck head on, both of them. Both drivers ejected from thier trucks, trucks burnt to the ground, one died on the scene, the other in the hospital, this was just ouside of spokane. I saw the aftermath. if you think about it, 2 trucks coliding head on at 65 isnt going to be pretty no matter what.

Another I saw that was really bad was about 20 miles east of Oak Grove 70 truck stop in missouri, a van came down through the median and hit the front left corner of a bull rack full of cows. flipped it over, opened up the trailer like a can of sardines, smeared blood all over the road from where the cows hit the pavement, when I rolled by they were out there with a backhoe lifting dead bulls into the back of a dump truck. That was a nasty stinky mess.

I *heart* wafflehouse.

As far as the young hotties go. I am going to repeat to you what a friend of mine once told me. I am not going to tell you whether or not I believe it or not.

"Jeff, one of these days, you are going to just be TOO OLD to hump on hot little 18 year old girls. Think about THAT when you seen that cute young girl that you won't go up and talk to...."

I SWEAR to god that is exactly what he said. I even wrote it down. Again, I can't tell you what I think on that subject exactly.

HOWEVER, I will say that young girls nowadays are CRAZY! So that has to make you at the very least BEWARE!

This could just be the whiskey talking too.....

Ohio HAS to be one of the worst states you drive through...right???

Time off is cool. So do you think you made the right choice regarding which company you joined?

ah yes, how I miss the sleep depravation shuffle.

patience, grasshopper. take some pics, get caught up on sg blogs,groups, NAP.
Hang in there, it could always be worse-don't forget coffee/breakfast, if you hit Columbus. If you need to crash here, no problem.

go Army!.

It's been hotter than two hells here all week long...triple digits and the heat index reached 113 yesterday....this stuff is enough to kill me I swear.

Yeah I was pretty much gawking at the magnificent pete the TMC guy had. But he'd been with the company for several months and already had had twentysomething different trailers.

The Werner Kenworth was a fine ship as well, with better visibility, but the pete makes you stand around with your eyes bugged out; "ooooh, can I touch it?" Big yellow cat under the hood.

I might not mind going into NYC once in a great while if I knew EXACTLY what I was doing and if it was at the end of a two or three week stint and I could do the city for a couple of days. Come to think of it that would be a good way of visiting various major cities, just ask to be at city x y or z when you've earned a couple days off.

i understand what you mean. it would be fun to see more of the country (though i don't think i'd like to be constantly on the move, i like a little routine).

i think i'm just bitter from tourists coming into the store i work in and start yammering on about how beautiful and QUAINT everything is, and what a nice QUAINT place the whole state is, and how is this QUAINT harbor and that QUAINT tourist trap and GAAAHHH!!!

i'm very tired, and i hate the word "quaint."

sounds like "taint."

i'll give you one thing, it IS wicked fun driving around the curvier coastal roads and stuff. wheeeee.

that was the plan till they sold it!

Yeah I can see what you're sayin about those areas being a bitch to drive in. The highways aren't bad in New England.. it when you start using the sidestreets that you figure out don't just get right back around the block that pisses me off. lol
