I haven’t mentioned that I’ve been given a gift from the Lovelace mailing list that I’m a member of. They have paid for a DNA test for me, to determine which branch of the Lovelaces we’re a part of. Knowing this might give me an idea of where to dig for more information. For instance, […]

2nd Annual Lovelace Reunion
I am such an asshole. I missed the 2nd annual Lovelace reunion with Allen and his family. I say I’m an asshole because I’m largely the reason they started having these reunions in the first place. I should have been there, no matter what. Long story short, everything just went all to hell today. For […]
Pretty Girl In Canton
I just saw the prettiest girl a little while ago, working at the TA truckstop in North Canton, Ohio. Beautiful, but in a non-traditional way; full lips, long hair with just a few long long, thin braids. Nice touch. Hers is the kind of face that no one thinks of when you say “beautiful,” but […]
Talking About Ohio
I like how everyone in Ohio is willing to accept the slot if you hold up traffic for them, but not a damned one is willing to thank you for it. Of course, we are talking about Ohio.
Turtle Nut Latte
Umm. What is a turtle nut iced latte? And how do the turtles feel about this?
Ribbon Magnet
Well, it had to happen. Just saw a car with one of those ribbon magnets; was for the local football team.
GOP: "We Were Wrong"
I’ve had an old USA Today (from last Friday) staring at me all week. Most specifically a story on GOP, titled GOP chief: ‘We were wrong’, has been repeatedly annoying me. I hope that African-Americans can see through this bullshit. Oh, yeah. The Republicans gave up on the idea of receiving the black vote once-upon-a-time. […]
Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland. Being unloaded. Next trip takes me home. Well, assuming I figure out how to get out of this place. The lot I’m looks like it was designed with straight-trucks in mind, not big road trucks with 53′ trailers.
Golf For Freedom
Just saw a sign that raised the bar for banality. It read “golf for freedom” and concerned a local golf tournament. If ever there was an example that the word “freedom” had become a flippant catch-phrase in the American lexicon, this is it. I can only hope that someone was making a joke about the […]
USX Is Schizo
USX is so schizo. I offered to take my trailer 15 miles south to a Duke’s truckstop shop (I have a flat). They want me to wait for road service. If I had wanted to wait for road service they probably would have wanted me to take it to the shop.
