    Yeah man I figured that's what you meant. I took no offense. It was still a bad place to park though. When I am OS/OW I don't park on the shoulder or a ramp but this one was my bad.

    Spent the night at Olson Truck Stop in Clearwater, MN. It's a Speedway location and it's a Mom and Pop stop and it was a great place to spend the night. Plenty of parking. Food available all night. Diner. Truck shop. The people there were great. Shower was awesome. The shower was super clean with a big room, 2 x towels, soap and a chair and hot water for days with awesome pressure. It also didn't feel like I was the 468th person to use the shower that day. I miss the Mom and Pop shops. They have always been my favorite.

    I snagged a load out of Watertown, SD for this evening so I am en route now.

    Yeah, the kids crying to daddy that the other team ain't playing fair is sad.

    Nobody ever taught 'em to just take their ball and go home until the other side decides to play nice.
