Not a bad week. to Canada twice. Then to Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

How is this for good Luck.

The day before I passed through Harrisburg, Il.  There was a tornado that wiped out a strip mall. I did not see the former mall, but did see a whole lot of tree damage along the interstate.  It was very windy when I went through.  I got fuel at the truck stop one mile north of Harriburg. It was so windy that it was hard to walk across the lot to the truck stop office.  My fuel economy was around 5.5 due to heading into the wind the whole time. (lost about 2 miles per gallon.  Now I find out that yesterday afternoon about 6 hours after I was in Harrisburg, another set of tornados came through and wrought more destruction. When my relay gets to West Memphis, I will be traveling back through that town.

Ran out of hours at the customer and spent the night on their property.  The setting was a giant pine forest, which makes sense since the place is called Pine Bluff.


Sitting in West Memphis, waiting to go to Chicago.  Exercised Peak8 stepper 19 minutes. {I forgot my sneakers so I should get extra credit for performing with steel tip work boots and work-clothes - gym shorts and steel tip shoes are too strange even for me}
