Hello again from the state with the big lone star in it's flag. I have been here so much that I feel my legs becoming bowed (my impression of a Texan). I think I need to buy a ranch and grow cattle. Do you grow them or raise them? I need to get a stetson a six gun and some leg chaps. My problem with this concept is that I don't want to poke any cows! They might not like it and think I am a Matador and come after me. Yes, when it comes to an animal larger than me, I give it all the space it wants, as long as it is not the same space I'm occupying.
I heard from Ted yesterday. He was my driver trainer at Werner. The bad economy has reached the trucking industry and him. They are sending him home for a week or two because there are no loads for him. I really feel for him because he is an owner operator and has a truck payment in addition to the usual bills.
The next administration really has been given a tough task with regards to the economy. I truly think that we elected the best man to deal with the problems though. Time will tell.
I want to ask a question of all the millions of readers out there. Hopefully you have noticed that I try to end my blogs with a comment on road safety. My question is, do you like them or should I discontinue them!
Keep your tires on the pavement and in good condition.

Poking cows? No wonder your legs are bowed. I think even in Texas that's illegal!
I think you raise cattle, grow crops & eat them both if they're tasty.
I can't find any voting buttons on my mobile edition of your blog, so I'll put my 2 cents here: the "drive safe" sign-offs are cool with me. And since I'm one of the 12 people reading this, my vote counts! ;)
Feel so much better after last night!!!!! Tears were flowing, no lie!!! I am still worried about you know what, but I hope I have enough thick skin and that is what I get for sticking foot in mouth......but things seem brighter now that I have unloaded!!!
Loved your call this AM, but please don't feel that you have to do that any more than you used to. Don't want your minutes to get used up!!!!
Have this weird feeling that with you driving solo that we may get more blogs. Please, no matter what you say in the blogs and I know it is hard when you don't think you have anything to say.. you DO to us cause it lets us know where you are and how you are doing, I NEVER find them boring. If it is hard to be funny...don't worry about it...just let us know where you are, where you have been and where you are heading......that will take at lest a little bit of space and I don't want to wish you any bad luck, but I am sure that some "not planned things" may happen!!!
BTW I thought you branded cattle???? Is "son of" being funny or do you guys know how many people are reading your blog????(12)?????
TTYL, Patsy
Found a little bit easier way to re-register and they tell me I am already registered.....WOW!!! something I had no idea about. Only have to put in e-mail and user name and you get this thing that you are already registered and bingo, my name is back in the place it is suppose to be. We will see how long this lasts!!!!!
Lowest gas price today that I have found is $1.96. Think they are just doing this to try to make us feel better about all the money we have lost!!!!!
Test!! Like I said I will not re-type post that did not get seen!!!
What do yo know, it decided to post...of course since there was no info in it!!!!
I appreciate your safety words! The Trucks we encounter around here (Hemingway, SC) are logging trucks, you better stay clear! They are rushing to the mill in Georgetown, SC.
You be safe out there. Thanks for the tour of America.
