MORE BULL??





RIDING THAT IS!!

Sunrise at lake flying J..there was the foot deep hole in the parking lot. as you can see it looks like a small lake. Several big rigs bounced their tandoms and/or cabs, many not realizing how deep it was. I would consider it a load shifter.. supposedly, one truck blew its cab's airbag suspension bouncing through it. The driver is ike a roller coaster ride.

While parked, tronadoes came through the area last night. not very far, but a few miles. heavey rain and hail..

AND NOW FOR THE BULL..Here is a shot of T. C. (TOMCAT) MATTHEWS. He tells me he's here in North Platte, NE for a RODEO. He's 63 years old, and still rides the BULLS. He was a trucker for a few years and decided to get back into bull riding.

Now referring to the previous blog piece, I guess the people involved, some being ex truckers, know how to make a go of it in the truck stops. YES, some ask for cash, WHICH I NEVER GIVE, but I will by them a meal. Other NON-TRUCKERS, realize that unless they are complained about being there, can sit and sleep, not making a niusence of themselves. AGAIN...BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD..THERE GO I..
