    I drove 30 miles to shipper. It’s 52 miles to consignee. 48 miles to next shipper. Then 10 miles back home to sleep till night time. Almost embarrassed to even call myself a trucker. Those aren't even part time miles.

    I woke up out of a dead sleep last night because some guy had his back up alarm very similar to what fire alarm sounds like. I had the sleeper windows open and thought the truckstop was on fire

    We had a customer in the oilfield that was stupid safety happy and wanted all vehicles on their location to have beepers. So my pickup got one. I got in trouble for cutting the wires. So after it was repaired I covered it with electrical tape. Could very faintly hear the darn thing. I was very pleased.

    No doom, just more sensationalism and over reaction. On this rotating ball of confusion we call Earth.

    doom & gloom?

    Deuteronomy 22:5
    A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

    Timothy 3:1-5

    Godlessness in the Last Days
    3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

    Luke 21
    Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
    5 And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, 6 “As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 7 And they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?” 8 And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. 9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”

    Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution
    10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. 13 This will be your opportunity to bear witness. 14 Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer, 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 You will be hated by all for my name's sake. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your lives.

    Matthew 24:12
    12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.

    Luke 21:25
    The Coming of the Son of Man
    25 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves...
