    This is the second time he's done it, guess good help is hard to find.

    The last good team the Dolphins had was '72 when I was a kid, we know how that turned out. 45 years later and still waiting.

    If I don't have a dog in the fight, I always root for the team that either hasn't won it, or the team that has gone the longest without winning it.

    So this year I'm rooting for the Falcons.

    Ya, the rest of the family was for Atlanta... so I had to be difficult and cheer on the Pats just to make it interesting....

    Only thing interesting was the Halftime show.

    Haven't even turned on the game, looked at the commercials, or listened to any of the hype. Too busy driving. I believe dispatch made a mistake Friday because they gave ME a Riverside load to deliver Tuesday way early in the morning (ugh!). Now if I only had a truck that was turned up...SMH. I mean, come on. I left my truck at the yard for some issues while I was on home time this past time. Guess because I didn't write it on my sheet of things for them to do to it, they didn't figure it was something they needed to do. Oh well, going to be a little close since this pos only goes 66 mph most of the time (and hills/mountains? Fugetaboutit!). In Gallop tonight. 630 miles to go tomorrow through AZ, the CA 55 mph zone and just in time for traffic tomorrow evening. Should be fun. At least the weather is cooperating!!
