California Bound!

5/30/2003

 
Dang, these rolls of paper are heavy. I am overweight for California, but legal everywhere else. I had to attempt to slide the rolls forward on the trailer, or wait 12 hours to get back onto the dock at Int'l Paper and get the load shifted. I opted to run as is.

I passed through the West Memphis OC yesterday, as well as the boyhood home of President Clinton (Hope, AR).

I spent the night in a little truck stop in New Boston, TX. That's strange...it doesn't look anything like the old Boston (in MA). 

Headed for the Otay Mesa drop yard south of San Diego. Almost a 2,000 mile trip that will take me through Phoenix for the first time in 3 weeks!

    ALRIGHT! I've passed my tests and I'm qualified to drive this beast. Now, let's get the heck on down the road. I'M A TRUE PUMPKINHEAD NOW.

    I find that I do my best thinking while the wheels are rolling the miles away. Unfortunately most of that deep thinking doesn't stick around when I'm done driving. I find that more urgent things take my attention and the earth-saving ideas I had quietly slip into the haze of half-remembered feelings and emotions. I should get a voice recorder or something. I'll have to remember to do that.
