Seymour, IN

One of the best things about today was, unlike yesterday, I didn't have to drive 55 mph for 360+ miles. Yeah, I'm talking to you, Illinois.

Another plus: all the snow was gone! Lest I forget I was up north, however, I had plenty of drivers cut me off. Thanks for the warm Chicago-welcome. Bunch of jack-arses. One of them did get pulled over immediately after speeding by me, though. Sweet vindication. Thanks, Po-Po.

After making my delivery this morning, I checked in with the weekend dispatcher to find out exactly what I was supposed to do next. Apparently, the preplans were assigned correctly, leaving no time for a side-trip to the yard for service. I've got a feeling I know who dropped the ball on that one, and her name starts with "Dispatcher." Hey, works for me - less sitting and more driving makes my bank account happy. So down to Georgia we go. In all, I managed to cover 625 miles today, which sets me up for a relatively light day of driving for the trip south tomorrow.
