    I'll be handing out candy. I actually like doing it.

    In my quarter century on the road, I've seen ONE truck (in front of me) get a Pumpkin dropped on it from an over-pass in Ashville, NC.
    I've heard a lot of stories...some believable, others not.

    I hit a water balloon that was hung from a viaduct at Monee, IL, circa 1973. The empty balloon stuck to the wiper blade. There was glass on the dashboard. I continued to our Gary, IN terminal and asked the dispatcher to re-power the load. The body shop in Ottawa, IL, could locate a left windshield for the IH cabover, but not a right windshield; they are not interchangeable. When I got back to work two weeks later, I bob-tailed to the Gary terminal and discovered that my load was still there. They forgot to re-power it. I delivered the load of aluminum coils to a siding manufacture in Jackson, MI, two weeks late. They didn't even miss it.

    Lot lizzards will be knockin' all night for your candy. But I never open my door for them because they always look spooky to me.

    I never heard them called that.
    My Morton shed is insulated better than most houses, and they do build houses

    Coming out of the credit union yesterday, saw these two very obvious lot lizards walking down the street. (No truck stops in the vicinity, and it was even on a side street where you see few, if any trucks.)
    Anyway, I remarked on them to my wife. She said they were not lot lizards, just high school girls. smh
