    Well against joseph1135's advice I parked at the mustard seed. It's $13 to park alright. ....for 12 hours! But since I got here at 2:18pm, I was going to be here longer than that so I had to shell out $26 to park. Never again. You're right Joe, stay at the TA.

    Ahh. I see. With the parking situation out there now I see how they get away with it.

    Eh I guess it's only $6 more than the price to park at most TA/Petro pay for play lots now that I think about it. Oh well. ...

    All those years fishing on the Atlantic saw all kinds of fog some was scarier then others
    one time 5 miles south of New York hauling nets on a cold foggy morning right in the shipping lane
    all you could feel was ships wakes and hear fog horns
    then a dark grey shape it appears thru the fog fortunately it was parallel to me
    I dont imagine a 900 foot car carrier knew I was there


    another time off Portsmouth NH a submarine surfaced 100 feet from the boat in the fog
    both of these instances only happen on the water on calm days fog doesnt reduce visibility that much when windy
    so it feels eerier and sounds are muffled

    OKC for the night. Back row of the Pilot. Morning pickup is less than a mile away.

    Company was having a hard time finding reasonable rate loads out of DFW area.
