Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

I was 5-0 on leapers in my career. Pretty proud of that.

 

Here in Myrtle Beach with a Hill-Phoenix delivery to a Publix under construction. I am the very tail end of a 9-truck line. Got here at 6:40am for a 7:00am appointment. It's now closing in on 8:00am and there has been no movement whatsoever. I just strolled a few blocks over to grab some crabcake benedict from a nearby eatery. Gone about 30 minutes. Figured the line would've advanced in my absence. But nope.

As an aside, as I looked on Google Maps to find a nearby breakfast place, I looked around the area, and holy crap I have never seen so many golf courses packed into one place in my life. There's gotta be at least 30 of 'em around here.

 

Still here. Finally been some movement, though. Four of the trucks ahead of me have been unloaded.

Looks like I'll be getting at least 2 hours detention for this one.

 

Just now bumped a dock, 6 hours after my appointment time.

 

Columbia, MO had a guy on an overpass on I-70.....interstate shutdown, the whole 9 yards. He finally meandered close enough to the right-of-way, they Tased him, he fell and later won a $400k settlement against the city for a back injury. Lead would've been cheaper.

 

I could suggest "lead" for several situations that the government wastes millions of dollars on, when a bullet that cost a dollar or two could quickly bring a quick resolve to the problem.

 

All my contributions to my Roth, for about a year and a half now, are staying in cash.Lots of volatility out there, IMHO
