I am sitting at a truck stop in Memphis, TN. We have a load going to GA. tomorrow so we are hanging out here. It has been fun for me traveling across the country. I have a few pictures to share today as well. I wanted to take some time to respond to a couple emails I have received. Sorry it has taken so long to post but that is life on the road.
I’d like to thank the following for their recent emails and comments.

Thank you for you prayers, thoughts, comments, concerns, and encouragement.
Rick Armstrong has emailed me a couple of questions that I thought I would share with you.
1) What are you using for your internet connection?
I have Sprint PCS with Vision. I use a program called future dial to connect and it doesn’t cost me a thing. You can get the software and the USB to phone cable for $40.00 at Radio Shack.
2) Are you able to sleep ok in the truck, both while moving and while stationary at a truck stop?
I have had no problem sleeping while the truck is moving, except for the other night there were some cans rattling around in one of the cabinets and we couldn’t find the source. My trainer finally emptied out the cabinet and I went right to sleep. Ironically, I have trouble sleeping when the truck is sitting still. I guess the swaying of the truck helps put me to sleep.
3) Is your trainer helpful to you in developing your skills?
Yes, he is helpful, but as I have mentioned before, everyone has their own way of doing things. It is helpful to hear all the different opinions and then you just pick and choose what works best for you.
Okay, so here are some pictures for you.
Here is the Arch in St. Louis, MO.
This is me at a truckstop in WY.
I thought this was a good shot of a Wyoming sunset thru my left mirrior as I headed east on I80
