Steve's continuing monologue....

Haven't blogged for a couple of days as there really hasn't been that much to say.  Can't say the same about Steve -- for whom there is ALWAYS something to say. He basically reads every single billboard and store name, says it out loud and has something to say about it.  For example, "oh Fred Meyer.  My cousin used to work for Fred Meyer, and did you know that the real Fred Meyer was really a satanist who made a pact with the devil to start his grocery business?"  (this story is obviously made up, but it's the type of thing he would say, as it usually includes an outlandish and questionable anecdote he has "researched" because he likes to "study" things).

This is Steve, not Ray Charles, to the left, catching him mid-monologue on some topic.  I had to snap the picture surreptitiously, as he will NOT have his picture taken.  He even stuck his head out of the passenger window, turning away when we were at a receivers window that had a camera installed to view the drivers who were coming through the gates.  Drivers are definitely weird people.

Let's see, recent topics have included the conspiracy behind Bruce Lee's murder by Kung Fu leaders, Jackie Chan being a Buddhist monk who doesn't cut his hair, an inmate having his eye popped out by a fellow prisoner while Steve was watching, a friend of his beating up 40 cops at once, being able to jump over a car because of his Kung Fu "chi", bears being all over the state of Pennsylvania, how to kill a pitbull that's attacking you, and who would win in a fight between an alligator and a hippopotamus (the answer is a hippo, by the way).

And the answer as to how to kill a pitbull is to shove your hand down its throat and pull out its heart.  "You'll  get bit a lot, but you'll live to tell the tale."

Omg....

Oh, and he's terrible with directions.  He's gotten us lost at least twice, including last night while i was driving (i was furious because i was tired), and as i write this he has announced that he thinks he may have missed an exit because he wasn't paying attention but he's not sure.

Anyway, as previously said, i'll still take his talking over someone who has no patience and is mean-spirited.

Driving through Indiana now on way to Illinois with a load from the Pennsylvania Hershey plant.   May have only one more run until being dropped off in Salt Lake to pick out a truck and then home time!

Stay safe everyone....Don't text and drive.
