    Thats only because the bridges they managed to build to Joisey is too #### high without clearances. They must have a roof over those things like everywhere else.

    One random thought from today.

    I am not a trucker.

    I am a "Stacker" (of money)

    Or

    I am a "Racker" (Of debt)

    so which is it?

    This link is a article which tries to use current math to indicate the greater of our losses in the 15000 or so nursing homes among the 1.5 million elderly. With a basic increase of 25 billion spent on medicare medicaid to round them and corral them against the covid would have saved lives possibly

    The ones in our area are absolute lockdown. I have two members who are themselves locked down, one with sufficient degeneration of his mind not to care as long there is golf on TV. Its been 6 weeks now and he wants out.

    There are some states in the union with total lockdown. They are still falling like flies. Versus nations and states wtihout lockdown orders, there is still some dying but half or less than that in lockdown states.

    NYC had a funeral attended by thousands of able body but NO elderly and NO handicapped or infirm, sick etc. And yet the Mayor waddled out to them ordered them go hame. Its illegal etc. That goes for ALL of youse.

    Now this mayor has done not too badly if I may say so for myself leaving out the politics totally but he is now stepping on liberty. I don't know if the NYC people will roar back at him or just bleat and baa.

    So there I was, laying in bed attempting to sleep, when all of a sudden i felt my tractor move. I open the curtain and low and behold, someone has backed into my beautiful truck. I get out to talk to the dude man and take pictures of his truck and other essentials for a situation like this. Dude man seems chill for having just backed into a truck. After snagging the pics he heads to the front of the row to a create-a-spot in front of the fuel island. He comes back to continue the dialogue and show me where he parked. Here is where I goof up, i end up telling him I need to take pictures again because some of them are bad. While taking the pic of his door again, he snatches my phone out of my hand. I go up to confront him and he punches me in the face. At that point I do what any red blooded American trucking hero would do, I punch him in the face. A brawl commences with multiple rounds, spectators view from afar but do not get involved. Homeboy ends up trying to hop in the truck to leave, so I pull his redline. He ends up dragging the trailer and seemingly stalls out his truck. He comes back out to fix it and upon returning to his driver seat, i pull it again. Third times the charm for our anti-hero, as he hops in the truck and drives off. Cops got him not even 20 miles out. Recovered my phone via gps coords but it was basically a total loss, he threw it out the passenger side window couple miles down the road. All in all i’m fine, all i got was a lousy bloody nose and a legit reason to buy the latest and greatest iphone soooo there ya go.
