    It was an interesting night last night. Found at at 1700 that one of my drivers had cut his hand and had been taken to the hospital for stitches. It was a tarp load, and he was just about to start tarping when he got hurt. The truck was half in the building and half out. No one there could move the truck. First had to find someone there that could back it into the building. Then I find out the driver cut a tendon and would not be driving home. So at 2000 I picked up JDP to head to Milwaukee to rescue the truck and load. Made it up there around 2300. The young lad let me turn and burn so I could run the show today. I got home around 0200 this morning. JDP made it in almost 2 hours later in the 65 MPH truck. Back in at 0600. Definitely don't want to make a regular practice of that. The driver should be okay. By the way I am heading to bed.

    The H.E. Bailey Turnpike northbound lanes at mile marker 107 are now reopened.

    OG&E has upped their outage total to 68,025 customers across the OKC metro area.
