So a few weeks ago, we were parked at a smaller truck stop, sleeping behind the curtain.
There are some things in the trucking industry I should probably bring you up to speed on before I go any further. There is a concern-able amount of crime that occurs to trucks while their drivers are sleeping or not in the truck. People can try to steal cargo, harm the truck or even steal the fuel ( this becomes more of a problem as fuel prices go up). Normally we stop at truck stops in better areas and this day was no exception, I mean we were at a small truck stop actually in Wisconsin and it was daytime.
We're laying there and talking and all of a sudden we hear the weirdest noises outside the truck, to me it almost sounded like sawing metal and we were like, " what the hell?" So I go through the curtain ( without getting my hair stuck in the velcro this time - a whole other story) and look out the window. Turns out what we were heard, were pigs squealing. There was a whole truck of pigs next to us on the way to market. Now that's something you don't see everyday.
So about the velcro - the truck has these fantastic leather curtains that provide privacy for the sleeper as well as block out sunshine and keep the heat in. They have super dupper velcro that you use to keep them closed. The problem I run into is often when I really have to go the bathroom, and I just want to duck out quick, go to the bathroom and then come back and go back to bed. I must get my hair stuck in the velcro once a trip. Luckily it comes out pretty easily. I mean, it's not like gum. LOL
