All dressed up and no place to go?

"It ain't easy bein' me" (Rodney Dangerfield, GRHS)! It's a crisp Monday morning in south Mississippi and I got nuttin' ta do. I've got 2 weeks off from my job as a school bus driver and I don't like it. Yeah, I'm happy that I'll have Christmas day off but that's about all I really need. Never been one to like too much time on my hands. At age 55 I don't think that's gonna change much - I've been this way all my life. And I don't want to change it. I guess that's why driving is so appealing. Now, I know that being a driver has its' ups and downs - mostly downs right now, I guess, but that's pretty much life in a nutshell. Truckers face some unique challenges to say the least, but ####, there's something about a challenge that still gets me motivated.
Another thing that's in my mind this morning. It's the holiday season! Gift-giving, lots of food, families and friends driving (long distances in some cases) or flying to be together for the holidays. How'd those gifts get to the stores?, how'd that food get to the stores?, how'd the jet fuel get to the airports?, how'd the gasoline get to the stations?, how'd those cars we're driving get to the dealerships?, how'd the individual parts to put together that jet get to the manufacturer?.......Ok, you get my drift so I'll stop with the rambling. Good morning, drivers, and thanks!

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!!

 

Thanks GP! Oh, I'll enjoy it. I was just in a mood this morning. And to top it off, my gf is closer to your neck of the woods than mine. She's with her mom in midcoast Maine. Have a great Christmas!

 

Just get the Hell out of Phoenix!
