I've been noticing the truck drivers along the way.
Many are older, male, caucasion. Some are couples.
Though they are professional drivers, many of them aren't paying attention.
A lot of them drive while on the cell phone.
It looks like there's plenty of room to be the best in this field.
Yesterday, we watched two movies coming from Oklahoma City.
It makes the time fly by.
Its easy to pay attention, because most of the time, I'd just be listenning to the movie.
We have surround sound in the truck.
I think my plan will be
- Get a CDL. After being in Missippi and talking to these guys, I know it isn't rocket science.
- Buy a truck outright.
- I want 500hp, 70"s headroom, Laptop station, GPS. It just makes sense.
- A rear view cam and an approximity monitor would be a good, cheap investment too.
One of the things I did right after deciding my Programming career
Was to investigate what was needed to become the best. Taking typing and accounting seemed obvious.
The same thing should be true with driving.
I think at this stage of life, I just want to fade away. I don't want power, advancement, or any of the things I wanted when I was younger. I just want back some of the life I missed while being a cube dweller.

Those lazy guys can move FAST! They take minutes to:
1 - realize a hot dog hit them.
2 - realize its food.
3 - turn their head to grab it. They have to roll their body to get something off the ground.
     One grabbed a hot dog and got 3 pounds of dirt and algae with it. He ate it all!

those aligaters were not mean?

How are you doing? Jim and I are doing fine.
We saw three gators behind our apartment. Jim fed them some hot dogs. lol. They are so lazy. All they do is lay in the water and sleep.
Jim's website is about done. It looks great. We added more of Sunset's, most of the places here in Florida.
Last week we went outside barefooted onto the grass that was a big mistake.
We got stung by some kinda of sticker plant. OUCH!!!!. It stopped hurting and went away in three day's. It was so weird though. We couldn't hardly walk on are feet. I'm glad that it's gone now (lol). How silly we are.
Renee you, Jennifer, Dustin can call us anytime on our cell phones. It's FREE!!!!!!!.
We are going to visit some friend's of Jim's in Mississppi.
It was good to hear from you. We miss you lot's. (Hugs kisses) to all of you.
LOVE YA - MOM, JIM

Great to see your alive and kicking!
Did you know calling our cell phones is a local call to you and its free to us too? Remember 20 ducks? lol
We've been either feeding our neighbors (the alligators) or getting bit by ants, or poisoned by poison ivy.
We haven't been saying much on this blog because nobody ever seems to go here anymore.
Becky and I are getting ready to visit some friends in Forrest Mississippi. They want to market this site.
I really like Mississippi for some reason, but we'll be going through Alabama and Louisiana on the way.
It should be fun!

hello my other part of the family how are you both doing have not heard from you for a whial thought i jump in and say hello . love you both !!!

Very mild compared to other mega resorts, but it had its strong points.
Future World seemed outdated, but International World was very nice.
At the parks closing, they gave a spectacular fireworks display.
A 20 foot earth with a TV screen around it floated in the lake.
It showed people singing on it, then it opened up.
It was awesome!!!

5.5" x 11" door knob fliers cost 4c each, in lots of 20,000 = $800.
Advertising door-to-door, its possible to hang 330 per hour per person. 660 for 2 people.
20,000 would take 60 hours to hang...or 30 hours for 2 people to hang.

:)

 hello It's me Ithought about it for a long long time. Tht's from an old song that I can't remember.
