09/02/2003 Entry: "Buffalo"
I'm back briefly. Last week I drove from Alvarado (South of Ft. Worth) to Albquerque, NM, to Aberdeen (Baltimore area), MD, and then back to Alvarado. I leave again on Thursday morning to deliver in Albuquerque on Friday. Then I'll pick up another load and head down to Fort Huachuca, AZ, and spend the weekend touring Tombstone (OK Corral, here I come). I deliver Monday morning and I'll be home Tuesday night. Then I should get a nice break for awhile.
Here's a picture of me, Paul (the driver of the Buffalo), and one of the demolitions guys from the Aberdeen Proving Ground. I wish I could remember his name, because he was hilarious. We'd just finished loading the Buffalo on my trailer:
Interesting things I saw on this last trip:
- Five (5) 18-wheelers flipped over. One flipped in front of us. I didn't actually see it go over, but I did see the dust flying when it went. Luckily the driver was ok and the rest of us working saps managed to drive past on the grassy median before the cops showed up and shut down the highway.
- An idiot driving like a bat out of hell with a brand new 50" television weakly tied down in the bed of his pickup. As he passed the truck in front of me the television FELL OVER. I'm positive that he majorly fucked up his new toy. It was funny because he was so careless and my television is 6" bigger than his. Nyah!
- One of the soldiers checking out trucks at the Aberdeen Proving Ground was a cool Wiccan guy I'd met on a previous run. Hi, Jerry! )O(
- The sniper who was guarding the exit to the PG waved goodbye to us very enthusiastically. Cool.
- Every time I stopped at a truck stop and saw a private coach bus I would imagine rockstar eyes peeking out at me from behind tinted windows. Hey, it can get boring out on the road. Little fantasies help pass the time.
- I could see myself as a tour bus driver for a band. A band that doesn't suck, of course.
- I can't think of anything else to mention here. I wrote a bunch of stuff down in my temp journal, but that's saved on my laptop and I'm just too frigging lazy to go into living room and turn it on.
I'll be updating again regularly when I get back next week. xo
