Two times in as many weeks I have watched the shower attendants at two different Pilots clean the showers. This seems to be the accepted routine per Pilot Headquarters in Knoxville, or, they really stand up behind their employees word. Pick up the used washcloth and wipe the toilet rim and...

We were sitting at the Pilot in Priceville Al, close to Huntsville and overheard a driver complaining of being sick and needing to go home. His dispatcher insisted he deliver his freight the next morning before going home to Georgia. After his freight was not delivered the next day, his...

The suspense novel is finished. While at home for the 4th I printed it out and made 4 copies (Office Depot loved me) and gave them to friends and family to read. I have received mixed reviews both good and bad. Two of the people just didn't get it, maybe I can attributie that to their lack of...

Where boots, buckles and belts are taken seriously! I saw some belts on these cowboys that probably costs more than my wedding ring! Not to mention the buckles, geez! The Pro Bulls Riders were in town and all hit the Hard 8 BBQ. Great BBQ and lots of entertainment!
