BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD...




THERE GO I..

Wel I'm parked at a FLYING J in North Platte, NE. You run into interesting people on the road.

This morning I got up to get my coffee, and in the trucker's lounge were 3 gentelmen, fast asleep in the chairs. Outside, in the grass near the truck parking, was a tent...pitched. Still a "roof" over someone's head for the night. Later this morning, the individual was picking up his domicle for the night, with a carboard sign indicatig "I-80, ILLINOIS OR BEST"

It's hard to see and realize there's little one can do for these people, most homeless, and strugling to survive.

One individual, in the lounge FOTO, was from BOSNIA. prviously a trucker, on his way into CANADA, turned awas by the border for whatever reasons..LOST his load, no longer trucking, and considering going back to BOSNIA. I see he spent the night here as well. Not very comfortable..
