Thanks, John.
Yes, I did drive tractor-trailers when I was much younger and single.
Hauled household goods for North American Van Lines.
It was a tough job but it had its compensations, one of them being the number
of women that liked to open their tops and flash the truckers as they passed by.
It did pay well and I truly got to see America instead of just reading about it.
Met some very nice people along the way and saw some amazing sights, one of them being an accident I came upon in Indiana. A tractor-trailer jack-knifed and rolled on the interstate. It was carrying live hogs to a slaughterhouse.
Imagine this view: Dead hogs lying on the road, injured and terrified hogs running in every direction and a state police officer standing in the middle of it all, scratching his head and probably wishing he'd called in sick that day.
Life is never dull. It can be interesting to the point of being terrifying, though.

The definition of a dyslexic agnostic insomniac:
A person who stays up late every night, wondering if there's a Dog.
