I didn't know I could look into the future but my 4am appointment
this morning was a lonely one because I was the only one there just
as I predicted. Apparently nobody comes to work at this place until
5am! Why did they give me a 4am appointment you ask? Well, because
that way the poor dumb trucker wouldn't be late! I dropped my trailer
at one of their docks and received my instructions.

The bugs were out in force today and I had to stop twice to clean
the windshield: come to think of it was I actually cleaning the windshield
or just making room for more bugs. Before I could go anywhere this
morning I had to have a minor repair made on my trailer, nothing serious
but enough to be a headache. Hey, It wouldn't be a truck if it didn't
break down from time to time.

Today has been one of those 'slog' days for me. I put it in the wind
at eight this morning and now it's bed time again and I am in Kansas
City. This is where I wanted to be tonight by the way.
