    Say Hi to July

    In Richmond VA looks like it is going to be a hot day. Glad that I cleaned the AC condensor, which dropped the vents temperature by 8 degrees. I hope that this will be a good month for everybody.

    Been thinking.

    Thanks, I can use lots of prayer. Decided that vision exemption is too much of a pain to deal with, it will be the ssme story at every renewal. On the good side, I didnt qualify for the Dept. Of low vision services job placement program. The person I talked to understood dealing with...

    Very well said. I must add that during this time the flood gate of emoations is the hardest part to deal with. We joked around about that it was like being bipoler on speed.

    Been thinking.

    Two eye specislists gave me tests that prove that I surpass the qualifications, but the FMCSA requieres 3 years driving a cmv, over10000lbs, before I can get the excemption even to enroll in CDL school. My van is under 10000 lb combined weight rating, not cmv. Been way more bother than its...

    Do not wash jeans, says Levi's
