    I wonder what today is like for guys out driving. Are all of the truck stops full right about now with guys pulled over to watch the game? Do you just listen on the radio and keep rolling? Are you just not interested in the game at all?

    I'm guessing today is close to being on the same level as some holidays as far as days drivers request home time for.

    I got a flat screen setup on passenger side dash, a whole pizza pie on passenger seat, And a cooler with a 30 pack in between both seats. Morning delivery in St. Lous and 1000 miles to go. Bring on the Super Bowl.

    The grocery stores and Walmart here was packed.I told a lady at Hyvee to slow down,you have 5 hrs before the game starts,lol.She hit me cart twice.She apologized.Everybody is in a hurry to get all the grub and beer and make sure to be home for the first kick off..I imagine the die hard fans that's out will be watching the game online their tv or the tv lounge at a truck stop.Ray was going to go to this buffalo wing joint and watch it with his buddies he works with but dad talked him into watching the game as home on the big screen.

    I hate football so I'm sitting at Hooters, and when the obnoxious football fans get here, I'll walk to the theater and see Gravity on the IMAX, then hit the casino.
