Strange coincidence: It is Thursday and I am sitting here at the Comfort Suites in GP, my home away from home, cooling my heels until my Saturday LOAD AND I READ YOUR ABANDON ALL HOPE SIGN AND I HAVE SITTING ON THE CHAIR NEXT TO ME THE DIVINE COMEDY BY DANTE ALIIGHIERI ,WHICH CONTAINS THAT VERY QUOTE IN CANTO THREE.

 

That sign should hang over the entrance to the shop

Do you have your own car on the lot ?

.... or does one of the office people ride you to the motel in the van

while the shop works on your Poly truck ?

 

Yes .... I bobtail off the GP ....I return when my load is ready

I use the Rail Road pass hotel in Henderson when I'm out west
