As Dr Seuss says oh the things you will see

Well my freinds this is a crazy and screwed up world we live in . And as i spend my working life as a long haul driver i get to see a side of the world most of you cant see. I see all the citys in North America from the back side. Not the pretty side you see on tv but the real city hiding in the back streets and industrial parks. The true underbelly of the place what i like to call the swub. That means the soft white underbelly. So come along and see our world and the many characters that are hiding in plain site on your highways and roads. my fellow drivers and the supporting staff that keeps them going.

Sweaty and sunburned in Tucson AZ


Hello friends i escaped winter so i will not complain about the excessive heat. Like i keep hearing its a dry heat. Like that makes it alright. but its not cold and snowing so i will enjoy that. waiting to load down here as usual i am on time but the rest of the world rarely is. time to work on my spring burn so when i get home people will ask if i was on vacation. My sweet pea has been busy like a beaver baking up a storm i sure wish i was there for all of that. Brownies, meringue  and a angel food cake the pics are great but i sure crave a bite of her baking. Well within a month i should be home and then i will eat. Thursday i should load and leave Paradise so until then i will pretend i am on a tropical vacation. bet you wish you where here. Bye for now

Northern California nightmare

Well before you ask how was my day let the sign above answer that for you. It sucked not a little suck like you would do thru a straw. A large deep down in your diaphragm suck like your going deep diving and may not be back for air for a while. Chain up in northern California to drive on wet roads. The brain dead geeks at cal trans can burn in a special place in hell. But that's all behind me now sun and heat await in the Arizona desert. Sunburn city it will feel good to have the sun on my head. Winter can kiss my pasty white ass i have had enough. My sweet pea has been busy creating at home gluten free treats are being created. Cupcakes and brownies and I'm not there as usual. But i get the pics so that's ok. And yes that's cotton candy on top man i want one. well sleep beckons have a great day eh.

Superbowl In Winnipeg MB

Well what perfect weather for football -20 and light snow. Great to be inside in front of the tube. While i watched the game in the drivers room of the flying j. My beloved Sweet Pea was baking her pretty brains out back at home. She created these football cakes for the big game. my boy and in laws got to enjoy them and i got to drool at a picture. Life is not fair. And to add insult to injury the sandwiches looked to good to be true.The Carma  that i have accumulated must all be bad and i must have been very bad in my past life. To have access to such good food and be denied is a cruel cruel fate.

captive in hell

I am an unwilling prisoner in a hellish place called Winnipeg. What sick individual on his way west to riches and fame got to this hell hole and looked around and said holy shit this is the place lets settle here. This proves my point that not all settlers in Canada where bright. Some where to stupid or lazy to go the next 1400 miles to the glory land. Speaking of that far off utopia that is where i was hoping to be this weekend. But alas i am here with the weak descendants of lazy settlers hunkered down in the cold and snow. Maybe its good they are all here the cold weather will reduce the sperm count and the blood line will die out and then there will be no need to do more than drive thru as fast as you can while on the way to some place that has more than two seasons. Winter and bugs. But i jest i love you Winnipeg i love you in my rearview morror.

Parowan ut

Heading north into winter the fates have turned against me. My winter sunburn will fade fast in Winnipeg but there is nothing i can do about it. The big brain said to go there so i am going. I was hoping for a winter without winter but such is life. The day i get home to Sweet pea cant come too soon but it always seems to be pushed back. I always try too tell myself that just makes the reunion sweeter and that's how i cope. That and screaming at the top of my lungs that the world sucks. That is a great stress reliever and it makes me feel good. Well that's all i am pooped and need sleep goodnight. And a picture of cinnamon buns to warm me up on this frigid night. Man i could go for one

stuck in Ontario ca

Well what an unproductive day sitting her when there is work to be done. But  the big brains that control my life seem to be slow to act so here i sit.All this does is delay my home time and i havent been home since boxing day this is getting a little tedious. well the longer i am gone the more i look forward to being home. my Sweet pea will have something great created.last night it was a chi tea cake that by all accounts was excellent i recieved a picture that i will share here. But like me you will not get to enjoy it. Pictures of food sure dont satisfy a craving but it sure feeds your hunger. It was a bad move for a man who loves baking to be a longhaul driver. That was not thought out too well thats for sure.Well thats all for now enjoy your day.
