Yesterday sitting in the restaurant at a truck stop having breakfast, I noticed there were 5 men (including myself) in the place. Two were on their telephone speaking completely different dialects in their language. I thought to myself that's 5 men and 3 different languages spoken here. Then two more men came in and sat at different tables and one of them could just barely order with such a completely different foreign language dialect yet. That was 7 men and FOUR different languages now. It made me think of the Tower of Babel and how God used different languages with everyone to confuse them and divide them and scatter them.
A whole lot kind of what the Democrats are doing now with open borders, and the trucking industry.
Just saying.

So I took off on a new route today, kind of a "let's see where this road goes" thing. After a few miles, I missed a turn that the GPS said I should take. A quick observation of it and there was no turning around so onward I go. Then I say to myself "if I turn here, I can get back kinda on track" so, left turn Clyde! After weaving through the hills, around several 40 mph (or less) curves, the GPS constantly saying "off route, rerouting", and pretty much not having a clue where I was..... the GPS finally just said "YEAH, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN"

Pretty sad when the best part of your supper is the dipping sauce that you dip your chicken nuggets in from the all day hot box grill, TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW.
Last night pulled into a truck stop at 7:30 sign on the restaurant "due to staffing restaurant is open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m."
Tonight pulled into a truck stop at 8:05 sign on Wendy's there said "lobby closed at 8:00 drive up only. No semis, no walk-ups"
I guess according to the general public, truck drivers only work 8:00 to 5:00 anymore. 🤬

We actually maybe doomed as a nation. After the conversation my wife had this morning with an Idaho official it really makes you wonder. My wife was calling IDAHO for an overweight permit for our truck coming out of Washington that is heavy. The official asked where he was at, my wife said Washington, then she asked which way is he going?
😳😳😳
My wife could only reply, well I guess if he's in Washington and I'm calling Idaho for a permit, he's probably going east!
The permit plainly states good for excess weight up to 115, 000 lbs. But this intelligent official informed my wife that he can still only go 80,000 lbs.
🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
