Amherst, WI

Son of a...I just checked my blog and realized the only content of my Oak Grove, KY post is a picture; the entire text that was supposed to have been included in the post apparently got lost in Internet World. Piece o'junk. I didn't have much to say that night and I almost went to bed without posting, but I remember willing myself to make an effort and was actually pleased with what I had come up with. Now it was for naught. That brings a parallel to mind.

All last week, in an effort to get home sooner than later, I stayed ahead of the game: When I wanted to stop for the night, I kept driving; when I wanted to sleep past my minimum 10-hr break, I woke up and drove anyway; when I could have stopped for a sit-down dinner, I ate in the truck. And what did I get? A load picking-up 150+ miles away from home on the morning I was supposed to be home. Again, hard work all for naught. Lesson: Work hard and you earn more work. Bad lesson. Oh no, I'm not still bitter. Though, I did make it home by lunch-time that day, so it wasn't a complete loss.

Anyway, I'm finally in Amherst getting the truck serviced. Hopefully I'll be out of here tomorrow morning.
