My new, final resting place

Fears confirmed. 9 hours early is too early. #wait

 

Tell them it's a word processor that prints but doesn't have a monitor...though, come to think of it, they might not even know what a 'word processor' is.

 

As I age and spend more time writing or thinking about it, I long to go back to the days of typewriters, ribbons, correction fluid, and paper. They have become "collector items," however, so they're more expensive than when they were new and finding ribbons is very difficult; nobody makes something that nobody needs, right?

 

Sitting in our Joliet terminal. I pick up a terminal-made load tomorrow sometime and leave early Monday for a trip to southern Illinois and eastern Missouri to start this, the last week before Memorial Day weekend.

I hope I'm stuck in a truck stop or terminal that weekend. Driving and traffic on the first traditional weekend of summer is miserable.

 

Another 24 hour wait in Joilet befor a 0400 departure tomorrow. Good thing they give me layover pay, though I needed this long-ish break.
