Now, just so we're clear, I don't plan on every blog having a topic related to the big rig, however, there are some things that happen that are really annoying me and I would like to talk about them.
I would like to start by saying, people are flipping stupid.  Now I know for a lot of people it's been a long time since they have had a basic science class and many people probably haven't had physics and don't understand lays of inertia in real life but come on.
People like to pull in front of the big rig and then slow down.  Here is what is wrong about that -- do you have any idea what it takes to slow down a loaded big rig? It's like 80,000 pounds.  That's like 10 times what your car weighs, even if you have a big ass SUV.  Many times, it requires a lot effort not to hit you, please think about that as you are maneuvering big trucks on the highway.

Now as you may be aware by now, I have traveling the country lately via big rig. And honestly, it's a whole lot nicer than I would have imagined.  First off all, it's like an RV, but without the bathroom.  The upside to not having your own bathroom with you all the time is one, no one has to dump the sledge and no one has to clean the bathroom.  The downside is that sometimes you really have to go and there is not one there.  Other than the bathrooms though, we have most of the luxuries of home including a cozy bed, a microwave, a TV/DVD player, little fridge like thing and internet almost everywhere we go.
My favorite part is taking a nap while we are moving, especially at night, especially if it's raining. The truck travels in a nice rhythmic fashion and it is so soothing and awesome, especially since the bed is so comfy.  You can nap for an hour and then be awake and ready to go for many more hours of talk radio of someone else's choosing.....

My second favorite part of the big rig travel is when the truck first starts.  As it warms up, there is a moment when it gets very loud and sounds like an airplane about to take off.  I see now why little boys get so excited about big trucks.

So have you seen this crap on the news lately about the birth certificate of our President?
I have a couple thoughts on this - first of all - there have been so many questions surrounding this for the entire time he has been president and running for president, why are we finally resolving this issue now?Also, does anyone else get the feeling like this is act one of the re-election campaign, which is a huge joke because he was never stopped campaigning in the first place.
Now I have great respect for the office of the President but there is a huge difference between the office and the person.

So I easily live within 15 minutes of like 7 or 8 grocery stores and I go to anyone of them on any given day depending on what I looking before because they each offer something different.  Today I went to one of the fancier ones because I was looking for some specific to that store.
I know that I am easily annoyed and today is no exception.  They were giving away free trees if you spent $25 dollars in honor of earth day.  I spent $24.73 and was not given the option of a free tree.  I know that you have to set limits, but seriously, I have already paid more for my purchases than any normal person should  and they couldn't have given me the tree because I missed it by 27 cents.  I know what you are thinking, you live in an apartment, why are you all bent out of shape about a tree??  It was tiny.  I was going to put it in a pot for the next several years until I finally a house that comes with a husband, ummm, I mean until I find a husband and we move into a house.  LOL
