The Blank Page

Oops, I missed a week. No doubt because we were trying to get home last weekend and the hours were being pressed together. And then I missed another week due to...well, MEN!

 I may have spent too much time chasing this girl around

But here I am now, staring at the blank screen wondering what to write. A while back I put up a Facebook asking what people wanted to read here. I received some good suggestions that I'll follow through on someday. The veterans/PTSD suggestion is one I want to take some time to do properly and not half-arsed.

My one sister suggested something that still has me amused. She said to not forget the interesting people I meet on the road. I find it amusing, because I'm quite certain that Mr. Janney talks to people more than I do!

Maybe some small talk with the cashiers at truck stops, or another driver. But for the most part I try to keep to myself. Mr. Janney on the other hand can talk for hours to a stranger about...anything.

The two most memorable conversations that stick out was the one truckdriver who commented about what we'd do without coffee. Our decision was we'd just be grumpy. And then I added chocolate to the mix, which he heartily agreed with. And that the Snickers candy bars with the creamy almond butter, or any of the creamy candy bars, are like crack. Not that either of us have ever done crack, but it's probably the closest we've ever come.

The other was a conversation I witnessed between Mr. Janney and two other guys in a Subway about the death of Dale Earnhardt. It got a little heated because one of the other gentlemen insisted that they've never released the exact cause of death. Really, dude? Because I found a bazillion websites backing up my husband!

For the most part, I just want to do my job. Get the product from point A to B, make it to the bathroom when needed, and have time to take pictures of the scenery. There are some sections of the United States that if you don't stop at a restroom before you go in, you'd better hope your body is up to the challenge of holding it for a long time!

Unless you want to hear about the interesting driving tactics of others on the road, but that's something I myself try to forget as soon as I can! None of us are perfect out there, but some make more blatant mistakes than others.
