In A Blizzard On Tuesday, Today It's Hot

It's that global warming thing.

In Montana, just day before yesterday, I was driving in a blizzard and down to 25 miles an hour on I-90. No other truck(s) were on the highway. I wanted to get going and so just bombed out onto the road without really, really looking too closely.

Once out there, I noticed that I seemed to be there by my lonesome. You know that 'uh-oh' feeling you get when you do something you shouldn't-a-oughta-done feeling?? Well, that's the one I got.

I could have turned around but the offramps looked kind of black icey and pretty much steep grades of varying degrees. So, I kept going.

Finally, I got past all the mountains to Three Forks and I'm telling you, that place never looked so good!!

So, after unloading in Minnesota, Minneapolis to be exact, we picked up a load just south of that fair city and headed south to Des Moines and west to California.

NOW it's pretty warm and we're running the a/c all the time!!

What a few thousand miles...how the weather can change....hehehe....
