DATELINE: JACKSON, MS, 3:40 p.m.
Miles Today: 218
Well, they kept me on my original load to this area, the one with the delivery time of 8:45 p.m. tomorrow (Sunday). No switch-off in West Memphis. So I figured that I'd rather sit at a truck stop with a restaurant than at the terminal with only vending machines. Plus I figured the weather would be just a bit warmer 200 miles south. So I boogied on down here. My truck stop directory listed a Flying J truck stop--my favorite chain--nearby, so that's where I headed, and where I am now.
The weather is marvelous here; sunny and warm. Guess I'll have to take that as a trade-off for having to make my delivery during the 2nd half of the Super Bowl. Grrrr! Oh well, I've gotten used to missing what's going on in the "real" world. Somebody will fill me in on what's going on.
Ya' know, even though I have all this down time--26+ hours 'til I even have to THINK about starting up my truck again--I really can't think of much to report on to you. I guess I'll just keep this short for now, and if something comes up, I'll put up a new post. Thanks once again for reading and commenting. 'Til next time, keep on truckin'.

Enjoy being where you are! I just went to the grocery store. Just being in the parking lot was painful - my hands ached for 20 minutes afterwards even though I was wearing gloves. Anyway, have fun in your downtime and try to avoid getting a sunburn.
