I’m tinkering around on the computer, updating Blogger files and catching up on my e-mail to myself (notes and such). Mara has gone to the grocery store. We just got back a little while ago from Charlotte. We had to go to Gastonia to make a bank deposit, and Mara suggested heading on over to […]
I just started driving. Mara had a rough night of it. Apparently she was harassed by one of those upstanding Christian types; the kind who has nothing to say but mean, vile shit, but who would consider himself a Christian in a Christian nation; one of those who wouldn’t dare act at home the way […]
Lowell, Indiana. We’re at the Flying J truck stop, having a sit-down. I kind of would have rather have kept on rolling, but Mara seemed to have her heart set on it. Somehow I’ll find the strength to suffer through my steak. 😉
I had an interesting encounter today. I had stopped at the Rest Area in Lebanon, Indiana, and had just set my brakes, when I looked up and noticed a young woman standing in the grass beside a field. She was standing very still, with her hands at her sides. She had long, brown hair, which […]
We had to have a stand-off with the drones in Breakdown today (well, Mara did). We have coolant in our oil and desperately needed an oil change; especially if we’re going to wait until our week off to get the EGR cooler repaired. But they only wanted us to get a Level-A PM (no oil […]
It’s early. Monday morning. I was tinkering around online. Mare went to bed a few hours ago. I told her that I’d be there soon, and she said; “No you won’t. You’ll mean to, but you won’t.” Well, she was right. Here I am. I wish I could say that I’d been doing something productive. […]
I wanted to mention something hilarious that happened today. Mara and I stopped at the Pilot truck stop in Hebron, Indiana. I went in to get our fuel ticket, etc, and went into the McDonald’s there to get us something to eat. Something funny happened there. But for it to be funny, I have to […]
I thought that we might get home early this week; bit as ever, it wasn’t meant to be. Mara must not have gotten much sleep during my shift. She was struggling coming out of the Chicago area and eventually stopped to take a nap. I was in no shape to drive, having had very little […]
Okay. So I’m beginning to get tired of Mel Gibson’s “the Passion of the Christ.” If you’re Christian. I imagine you just shook your head at my “intolerance.” There are a whole lot of Christians who see it in those terms. Either it’s a moving spiritual experience or you need to ask the Lord Jesus […]
I-294. On the loop around Cincinnati. I just knocked out the last of our salmon patties that Mama made for us. I’m experimenting here, to see if I can use Mara’s PDA for this. I’ve been using the truck’s Satcom to send these notes to myself (as well doing some general e-mail) but my reptilian […]
