    HUH who woulda thunk it? Tornadoes be happening in Tornado Alley.

    Those were all in one of the first couple of "red zones" for "NO GO!!! Zones" when I was making a map of potential places to live.

    Other big red blobs where:
    Within 100 miles of the Atlantic and the gulf coast because of Huricanes.
    Within 25 miles of the Mississippi river, that's all flood land.
    North of I90 cause they have real winter.
    Also for winter anything much above 4500 feet in elevation.
    South of I40 because they get just too friken hot.

    should be. Got it loaded in Memphis at 3 pm, just unloaded in hope hull, Alabama, had a guy cut me off, about lose it, but finally made his ramp, that he almost missed, but made it, I moved over to left lane and avoided the wreck, running 70 in a 70. Then the guy behind seeing what’s going on tried to stop me from moving over. After I got by the one starting it all who lost control, I moved over and the hurry up guy cut me off and brake checked me, giving the finger until he seen I wasn’t letting off cruise and he almost got slammed then he floored his little pos small car and took the exit about a mile up the road, not caring he endangered everyone in the car. he got to be first to the ramp.

    I figure you cut in front and lock the brakes up, we’re gonna make it hurt, not just a love tap.

    I hope you have a dash camera. Get that move on video. They will be cited, if they survive.

    THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED!!!!!!

    STOPPED AT AN INDIGENOUS LAREDO!!!!!!

    We has delivered. And we has picked up an M/T.

    And we is covertly parked in kind of the BFE section of the indigenous Laredo, at the indigenous shipper.

    Cold fajitas, but dang good.

    Probably a good 1.5 mile search for ELIZABETH trying to find the entrance to this place.

    The has decided we shall remain here until the morrow, then get loaded before continuing onward with TOTAL NON STOP OM TRUCKING ACTION back through The SAVAGE TEXAS WILDERNESS.

    I HAD a girlfriend at one time that would pass trucks on the right in a little Suzuki Swift, drove me nuts on that trip, when we got home I grabbed the companies 379 and put HER in the driver's seat, adjusted seat and mirrors, so she could see proper. Then put her in the sleeper, with a piece of tape at the bottom of the curtain to prevent cheating, then randomly parked her car where she would drive, got her out of sleeper and in driver's seat and said "Where's your car? Response "I can't see it". I said exactly, repeated the process a few times and her habits changed. Not long after I took her with me on an "off the books" trip to Cle Elum, WA. and she spent the whole trip pointing out people doing the stupid crap she had recently stopped doing.
