North Little Rock, AR

You might think that my lack of correspondence the past couple days means I spent a long relaxing weekend at home watching t.v., sleeping late, and eating something other than fast food. And you'd be wrong. That little vacation in Maine put me a day behind schedule, so Saturday was spent driving from Virginia to Georgia and Sunday from Georgia to West Memphis, AR after making my delivery in The Rock, GA.

I realized last night that I had all day to deliver today, so I didn't bother setting an alarm for this morning. I got up and rolling around 9am and made the two hour drive to Little Rock. It only took half an hour to get unloaded. Afterward, I headed back up the road a few miles to the nearest truck stop. My next pick-up isn't until tomorrow, so I've been hanging out here all day doing the usual, with the added event of perusing the trucker's flea market. Yep, there was BBQ on channel 25, truck tires on channel 22, a pistol on channel 19 - a bargain at only $250, and computer software on channel 14. All fine wares, I'm sure, though I was not in the market for any such items.

I'll try to get up early *rolls eyes* and make my pick-up in the morning so I can get over to Alabama at a decent hour. I've got two more loads lined up already and I'd like to see home again before the change in seasons, so I don't want to waste much time on these next few trips.

There are no decent hours in Alabama.
