DATELINE: TEXARKANA, TX, 7:34 p.m. EST, 6:34 p.m. CST
Miles Today: 634
Zounds! Such a long drive! And man am I tired now. Not much to report for today except that it was all about driving as far as I could in my allotted hours, and the weather was perfect all day. Well, there was fog early in the day in the Kentucky mountains before the sun came up (I started driving at 5:30 a.m., EST--boy, that seems like a long time ago already), but the rest of the day was sunny and warm.
I've stopped for the night at the Texas welcome center (glorified rest area) just across the border into the Lone Star state. It's right alongside the highway (I-30) right in town, so I'll have plenty of highway noise to sleep to, besides the usual idling truck engines in the lot. But it was at the right place at the right time--right at the end of my shift. I was planning to stay at the Flying J truck stop 8 miles back up the road, but it was already pretty well filled up. So I just fueled up my truck there and continued on my way here.
Like I said--er, typed--I'm tired, so I'll finish up here. Have a great last 1/2 of the week, keep on commenting, thanks for reading, and keep on truckin'.

So nice you wrote it twice - sounds like a long but fruitful day. Texas sounds nice right now (we're supposed to have freezing rain this evening). Drive well and enjoy some new scenery, and hi to hrr!
