Do you get bored?

Haha check out the LPGA. Many right up your alley. I enjoy admiring their abilities on tv.

 

If you are bored, just think about those who are disabled and can not get around. What do they use? Think Stephen Hawkings. Your mind can take you many places, learn a different language, write a book, start playing a musical instrument.

 

Yes, maybe not really, I work in the city for a food company it's a lot of the same stops and things everyweek, but it's a challenge and steady job and pay check and that's way more important then anything else.

 

If you are Bored take a look around at what everyone else is doing for about 15 minutes.

Makes me Snap back into my reality of my nice clean warm and cozy bubble.

 

We went to England back in the 80's and thankfully the place was predictable. Rail service between suffolk and london puts American Amtrack to shame. 4 bucks and 100+ mph in london by breakfast. Home by dinner from 120 miles away. No car needed.

Now Mildenhall AFB, home of the 8th in those days and Nuclear Strike was happening in those days.

I understand so much has changed and not necessarily for the better there. The fun part was having the Concordes leave town at heathrow. They will be in NYC like 3 hours. Took us 11 via Bermuda when we got back. (Concorde ticket one way was around 3000 I think in those 1980's dollars)

I would not mind visiting Hesse Kassel and perhaps Malancourt or Ely Cathedral one more time, but I don't think that will happen in this lifetime. I have too much damage accumulated. Google Earth will just have to serve.

There is one place I do miss. St Michaels. Seafood. Hopefully that Dockside Eating place is still there.

 

I dont have time to get bored.

 

Do you know if they started field burning where you are roughly this time of year yet? Or are they holding off?

 

As a society we're WAY too overly entertained. Advertisers want a screen everywhere. The day truck stops put a TV screen at the diesel pumps so they can 'entertain' us while we ought to be inspecting our trucks is the day I pay extra for them to come fuel mine where it's parked.

We're constantly 'taught' by all of this entertainment. Constantly marketed to, constantly talked at by news media and have you noticed there are 5 around a table where one is more than enough? Most haven't noticed this. It's epidemic.

All that said, the info and entertainment you WANT and probably NEED is more at your fingertips than every before.

Turn off the TV. I don't have one in the truck. A laptop is more than enough and portable.
Throw the CB out the window. Do you need extra daily drama and some idiot's political views to get your pulse up? Try coffee.
Stop talking to people for the most part. I mean it. The chatter at truckstops and docks makes you dumber. These people hate their lives and take it out on you. They're just waiting for a scandal to entertain them. If you want to talk to someone talk to someone smarter than you. Learn by osmosis.
Listen to podcasts. Listen to music, audiobooks, Ted talks, even Youtube videos. Way too boring to watch most of those. I just flip my phone over and listen to most of them. I don't mean instant karma/car chase crap. I mean informative stuff.

I've jumped around jobs a lot too. I've been told I was 'overqualified' for stuff that I thought would be fun. I don't even have a college degree. Only thing interesting in college to me had legs, so I married one and quit.

Sounds like you've got the experience to do whatever you want.

Sorry to write you a book, but books are good. Try books.
