At the regular TS near where we unload in OK the fuel desk gal asked me why I was still hangin around one day..... Don't you need to drive?


I told here there was this small problem of a log book that mucked up a guy's life. She says don't you mean the LIARS book?

I laughed, and said well you know you do have a point at least today and yesterday. She says and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before?
I said well lets not push it, some days are better than others.

Actually not. They give us preprinted books and didn't leave enough room for me to punch holes in the sheets.
