    Have gotten mixed responses from the Facebook crowd re my impending cancellation of my account. The only ones I care about are the few who PMed me their contact info so we can all keep in touch the old fashioned way.

    One guy told me that Facebook wins if I let them run me off. I'm not running--I'm just taking my cue from Henry David Thereau: Simplify, simplify.

    Several folks got a link to this thread so you'll probably be watched by some of the non-trucking crowd.

    Got a load of paper going to Cleveland (eep!) due Wed but I'll be there tomorrow.

    Planning on showing up and doing all my communication through interpretive dance. I'll let you know how that turns out.

    F facebook.

    I've never had it and never will.

    I've read your thread from the start and have found it entertaining but not exactly my type of humor at times. I kind of thought you were a little out there and not my type of person. Now hear me out before you throw me out.

    I read your post about what the jackhole did with the flag. Your response to what they did and finding out you're a veteran made me rethink my position. Thank you for taking a stand and don't think twice about deleting your account.

    Hope you take my ramblings as they are meant to be. And of course thank you for your service to our country.
     
    Captain Zoom Thanks this.

    MJ1657, the ability to respectfully disagree with someone without becoming their mortal enemy is a sign of maturity, something that is sorely lacking in today's world. Thanks for reading!
     
    Dominick253 and MJ1657 Thank this.

    Was running close to 24hrs early, got delivery moved up, now I deliver in Cleveland tomorrow at 0930. At the service plaza on I80 just below the city, 26mi from rec. Laundry, shower, sleep, breakfast, zip over to delivery, short hop across town to pick one up going to North Chicago, then probably up to Pleasant Prairie WI start a run to Coppell Texas or maybe Buford GA. Easy day today except for some nasty thunderstorms on I77 in OH. Easy day tomorrow, except for Cleveland, because Cleveland.

    Cleveland is easy peasy. Come on down and play in the Pitt, you'll learn a new appreciation for Cleveland.

    Posted on FB that I'm deleting my FB account. Everybody is losing their minds. Most of my "friends" aren't PMing me their contact info or asking for mine. They're just complaining that I'm abandoning them. Almost feels like I'm leaving a cult.

    Most of them wouldn't hold a door for me in person anyway. This place is more fun.
