My day of rest

Tues. Nov.4
Vote day

I will have to pick up a load at midnight so I can’t stay up late watching the returns. I hope I can find a radio station that is giving results while I am driving.
I went to bed last night in the truck. I woke up about 1:30PM in a refrigerator with the setting at cooldest! It is amazing how much the temperature can change when the sun sets. I had to start the engine, pollute the atmosphere, and burn fuel just to get warm. Well in my defense, so were a lot of other truckers.
I got up early today with the intent of making this a productive day and then get some rest before hitting the road again. So far my plan is working. I’ve washed and folded clothes and I’m working on the blog, and I also purchased a satellite radio to hear sports, music and news. I got a great deal on the radio. After rebate it cost me $4.00.
Being a democrat in an area that has a lot of republicans, makes me feel very uncomfortable! I find it very hard to hear the redneck comments made by all the truckers and not put in my 2 cents. I think that restraint is a smart idea though. I don’t need to get into any arguments while on the road. Most of these truckers outweigh me now and look like they could do me sever damage if they wanted to.
It is time to return to the truck and stow my clothes. I’ll see if I can find something worth taking a picture of and will put it on the blog.
Remember to VOTE.
