    Ya, that’s going to happen. Not sure if it will be overseas but I’ll add that to the To Do List… :)

    Thanks.

    It’s been on the table for some time. We avoided a divorce not once but twice in South Florida. Been avoiding divorce ever since we moved to SC. Distracted by helping other family members. If things don’t change, it’s only the natural progression. We have actually been separated for now over a year. Have to be separated for a year before one can get a divorce. So we’ve been heading this way for some time.

    Sounds interesting. Three months, wow. I’ve recently started to enjoy traditional Chinese whole leaf teas. Been fun exploring Gung ## Cha. I might have a session tomorrow since I have time on my hands.

    Would be fun to visit Fuding (sp) mountains area to see the tea agriculture processes etc.

    I'm pretty sure this company is going to be my next move in a couple of months. Could anyone tell me what the starting pay would look like for 11 years exp and clean record on the van side?

    Starting pay is based on experience, work history (number of jobs) and which division you will be working in. OTR drives are payed .06 additional for that fleet. I would call recruiting and they can give you the straight scoop. They won’t blow smoke up your keister.

    I want to visit Japan one of these days. I certainly make the money to fund such a trip, but I would still need to figure out a lot of stuff

    Invest in a pair of earbuds that translate. For example, wear them in Japan and when other people speak Japanese, you hear what they're saying translated to English.

    I think this feature is coming to Apple earbuds. This is the first time I’ve heard about this being possible but makes sense. I’m sure there are other brands doing it too. An interesting option going forward for many people.
