    Did they stick you with short loads again or did they just plan poorly?

    At the yard in Laredo. Was gonna park at receiver but I picked up a flat on a trailer tire. Found a big ol screw in it so getting it repaired and just gonna sleep here. Only bad part about Laredo for me is that I can't preplan myself out of here....only location I'm not allowed so I have no idea what's on tap yet for the rest of the week.

    I didn't know Americans go to Mexico for medical care... I know that government provided medical care in Brasil is CRAP... depending where it is... They lack material, equipment, beds, doctors, nurses, everything... and many people die waiting to see a doctor... To get good medical care in Brasil one has to have some private medical insurance or pay the price.... which is still much cheaper than in the USA. But they don't have the liability insurance that we have in the USA and most don't have the top of the line most sophisticated equipment and most advanced technology that we find here in the USA.

    So... after a busy day today, I am now reclined in this big bed... under this nice ceiling fan... tv is on showing some naked couple trying to survive with nothing... somewhere in the middle of nowhere... :biggrin_2552: I got a marguerita pizza and will consume it in a while...
    Tomorrow will be another busy day... and very important... I have been checking on possibility of dad coming to meet me here instead of me going back to that middle of nowhere where he lives... If I can get one of his doctors to fill out and sign and stamp a form for the flight company, stating that dad is disable and will need a companion to travel with him, I will get 80% discount on his companion tickets! :yes2557: That's a great deal I don't want to miss... Cause I'll be paying all their round trip related expenses...
