Wife & I, former Corrections Professionals and yes, I met my wife in prison). Left State government for the greener pastures of self-employment. Wife was professional embroiderer (we could share stories, bluzman) and me a mortgage broker and landlord. All businesses imploded....last year...

Tubas are a cornerstone of Mexican music. The only thing that you were missing was an accordian. Those Latinas would have been dancing for sure!

I'm stuck in Kitchener, Ontario. Actually, I'm much closer to Toronto. Left LA Friday night, delivered in Lincoln, Nebraska Monday morning and got loaded 4 hours later in Omaha to Mississauga. I like Canada plenty.....just not so much to be sitting waiting on loads. The Puerto Rican is...

I used to date the heir to the Dickens Cider fortune, Anita. However, she left me for one of my closest chums, Phil McCracken.

I concur, Doug. Way to go on the research, Turtle. I'm guessing your EO's official Snopes. Kudos.

I'm wondering why there aren't simpler versions of shore power, a la idleaire, at truckstops.......especially the bast***s that gouge you for a night's stay. Like an RV campground, with just a stubby pole and an outlet. I'm considering going to one this weekend for just that reason. Why...

Oh, and we're now in Ripon, California. Anyone know how to pronounce the name of this town?

Thanks for the hookup, Dynomite. Maybe I can talk the guy into letting me stay there. Has anyone ever seen it so dead in Ontario, California? 13 of my size trucks there, and I believe 3 loads out. Should be more there today. By the way, some of my best Spanish grub has come from some of...

We're at the TA East in Ontario, California. Like the area; despise the truckstop. Laid over en route to a crappy $500 run. I'm not holding out hope that we'll get another run to add to our $1100 we've brought to the truck this week. Worst week in the short time since we've been out. What...

Parked outside Sally's Beauty Supply in Ontario, CA. The Puerto Rican likes to not look like a truck driver. Never seen it so slow here, although we've only been a few times. Eight D trucks and 4 E trucks here. One load left yesterday. I'm hoping things pick up, and soon.

A couple of years ago, en route to Mexico, we stopped at a place in Little Rock called the Whole Hog Cafe. Absolutely phenomenal barbecue, and even better potato salad. Swore I'd go back. Just got done with a run from Virginia Beach to Albuquerque. En route, I spied a sign in Conway, AR...

Sitting at the Sterling dealer in El Paso; Juarez in my mirrors.......waiting in line for the Rigmaster mechanis to tell me what I already know. This thing is a POS. Anyone know if they've gone back in business yet?

As a NYS native, I am ashamed to admit that tolls were supposed to stop being ccollected in 1997 after an extended bond payment period. That being said, I travelled a ton over it during the last month. I hate the thruway. If you're coming into the state from Canada, take the 37 exit on the...

We're at the TA in Albuquerque. Finally got a nice long run, with good pay to go with. Now if I can just get this POS rigmaster working...

I have a little experience in this arena, so I'll chime in (look at my handle). I have worked for the Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of SHAPE, and NATO Commander. If you've gone into a a military installation, the detection dog searching your vehicle/person/belongings was...

It would be a great t-shirt, if I could understand it. Mind translating? Wish I'd have known, Jack. Hadn't seen my sister in almost a year before this month, and have now been through or laid over at her house 4 times since. She's in western NY and my Puerto Rican spousal unit cooked us all...

You suck. I'm just sayin'.

I would kill to be in your shoes, layout. When we were out west, we stayed busy. Long runs, good money. We've been stuck on the east coast since a home break last month. I should not complain, however. Got a load from Owings Mills, MD, to Toronto, that took us right by sister's house for...

In prison, having met and married by beautiful much better half there just one year prior. True story. I was a shift supervisor of corrections officers. Thought I'd better explain.

How about accidentally walking into the women's restroom tonight instead of making one more step to get to the hallway/coffee bar I needed to be in? I thought it odd that there were a whole lot of women in there to be getting coffee this late at night. Then I saw the mirrors. Yep. I got a...
