    Id kick a puppy (or shoot a buncha people) to go on a nice long ride or take a mini vacation. Ive worked nonstop the last 2yrs and feel like I haven't gotten ahead at all. Infact just more and more behind.

    good night all. Oh BTW? No rain and it was a balmy 55F.
    What a wild winter it is. Knocks on wood.

    That place gets full in the evening... most are Brazilian tourists.... there's a art-craft fair and lots and lots of food vendors and playground and toys for the kids... and going towards the beach there are lots and lots of tends with tables and chairs where they sell all kinds of drinks and food and appetizers till dawn.... and people keep strolling....
    The gif images below are in a sequence...

    My friend was tired... so she closed her booth and gave me a ride back to my hotel...
    If weather is good tomorrow, I think will go to the beach and walk some.... :biggrin_25519:

    Mr. @HillbillyDeluxeTruck ... some say that everything happens for a reason... sometimes it's hard to know what that means... but maybe that's the time to sit down and figure out what needs to be done.... and go for it...

    Wyoming was fun today . Wasnt to bad. Little blowing snow between laramie and rawlins . Us express in the ditch in the median , jacknife onwest bound and about 40 miles east was a truck jacknifed in hillside blocking right lane . Had my radio on so i was in the left lane about 3 miles before it and about 4 or 5 trucks flew past me doing about 80 only to lock em up when they seen the jacknifed truck . The stupidity is real. I dont see how u could jacknife in those conditions unless u was going to fast and super light and wind catch u on some ice under that blowing snow. Even then u would have to do something stupid like slam on breaks. Sometimes i wonder how some of these drivers get themselves in such predicaments.
