"ON THE ROAD AGAIN"..(6)
I Wasnt into my trip No More Than 20 Miles when A little bird Didnt Quite Fly High Enough And There Was A Splatter of feathersSomeone Released About 20 Helium Balloons With A Cross Attached to The bottom(I Watched as It Went higher Up Into The Blue Sky)
Driving At Night In pennslyvania..The Splatter on The Windshield(And The Splat glows In The dark As if There was A black light On Them From The 60s)
There Have been 531 Highway Deaths in Ohio This year..Slow Down!!
Indiana has Tons Of Giant Windmills..(Slowly Turning To The Winds Commands)I Think Holland Was The 1st to use Windmills
Whats Nice For The Eyes To see is That 1 Solitary Tree growing Un hindered by humans
In Iowa A School Bus Crashed In To A Cornfield(its A good Thing It was Empty At The Time Id say)
Aalso In Iowa I came Across What was left of a House Scattered All Over The Cornfields That Surround it(Tornado or High Winds)
Ohio has Their version Of The Chain Gang(A bunch of guys Picking up Trash Along The highway Dressed In red And White Suits(With a guard Nearby With A Rifle(If They Run..They Wont get Too far)
On A Secondary Road There Was A Half grown Duck In The medium(You Could see he was looking For Momma(Poor Junior)
Wait til "farmer Brown" Sees What That Herd Of Deer Were Dooing On The Edge of His Soybean Field(I Think he Will be Mad As hell)
And of Course Theres "murphys Law"...I Was trying To get To A Place To Sleep Where Ive never been before..Ir Poured So hard In Iowa That I Couldnt see 10 Feet In front of me(This went on For Miles)Finally I found The truck Stop(And What Do You Think happened?(Yup..It Suddenly It Stopped raining)
And to be fair..I make Mistakes Too...My Qualcom For messages And directions went Down..So I had To get Directions And The Name of The City And State I was Going To next..;I Thought They said "Atlanta Illinois"..So I Went There..Upon Arriving ..There was no Such address..Turns out Theres An "Atlants Indiana" And Thats Where i Was Supposed To go!!
As You can See..We All make mistakes from Time To Time
Only my mistake cost The Company 335 Miles Of Fuel.
(They Understood And i finally arrived At The Consignee 6 hours late..But I Got There
And That Was The Week That Was....

Take care,

Keep safe on the road...sounds like you have to be the eyes and the ears for all out on the road!!...
Good to hear about your travels...hope all goes smoothly after your six hour delay...
We still have the prison work crews here in this county too. They came by just the other week picking up the trash on the road with a sheriff's deputy standing nearby with a pump gun and another one in the truck. Orange jump suits for them here.
Theres A Lot To see out There
If I Wrote All That I saw
Id Be Writing it all Down Still............
I Went back To Work A Month Ago Now
I make more in a Week Than I collected In A Month
That Will get Anybody Stirring......
Youd be Surprised At The people I Could kill out There
I believe Ive saved At least 10 Peoples Lives by Moving Over When They Come On The Highway
They Dont look...They Just keep cruisin On To The Highway As if There was No One At All
But the Times I cant move over?
Well...They get The Scare of Their Life(And for Some reason Its Always The trucks Fault
These People I call.."The Special People".............................
Just Picture A tree As The Elementary Children Would Draw One
Almost Perfectly Round
One Wonders How A tree In The Middle Of No Where Got its Start
But Still......Its there.............
I Forgot Which State it was In
But One Time I saw A few Guys Picking Up trash With A deputy Watching Them With His Rifle
On Their Backs Was Written
"I was convicted Of Drunk Driving"..............
x
Always nice to See..............
Out here All of Us Driving A Tractor Trailer Go By One Rule
If Were Going At 65 Miles An Hour..Or even 55 MPH..And Theres An Animal in The Road in front of us..We Have No Choice but To keep on going Straight Ahead And What happens ..Happens
If We try to Swerve Out of the Animals Way..The trailer Will Jack Knife And We Could get Killed
There Is No Choice but To keep Going Straight Ahead And What Will Be Will be
It hasnt Happened To me yet
But There Always Will be "The First Time".........:
Most Of the Tractors out There are Made of Fiber Glass Now
So There Is Sure To be damage
If It happens to be a Moose?
"A Lot of Damage"...................
