Clear Brook, VA

On our way to Odessa, TX to drop a load of crap at Family Dollar out there. Heh heh... I don't much care for the Family Dollar folks as I've had several episodes with them on prior deliveries. Admittedly, I've not ever been to the Odessa facility, so in fairness I can't judge them yet. I just know that in the past they've all been unpleasant to deal with at best. We'll see how this one goes, I'm prepared to be unpleasant to deal with as well. Perhaps not the most professional attitude, but one can only tolerate just so much shit without making a stand.

We hit snow and ice coming through Pennsylvania last night. Nothing too serious but there were quite a few cars and SUV's wiped out on the shoulders. It always amazes me how crappy people drive. I can only imagine how many more accidents there would have been if the weather was more severe. Once we got into West Virginia and then on into Virginia the snow was gone and roads were dry again. Wet or not it's damn cold here... windy too.

We had turkey and all the trimmings at the friendly neighborhood Flying J Truck Stop. Not as good as home cooking but it was fine. I took a doggie bag out to Thor so he could have his Thanksgiving dinner too. I'm sure he was thankfull as he swallowed his turkey without hardly chewing it.... hmmmmm... guess it's just a dog thing huh?
