Iditiroad

Been doing a bit of rangering. Like has been rumored I ended up on the National fleet and in my trip to PA from Atlanta I blew an engine near Lexington, KY. I have never been mechanical but I now know where the piston is located, between Mile marker 201 and 202 on VA I-81 thats where.

A rental car trip to Allentown was the ticket to a newer tractor. Since the mishap-I have worked myself back West via Wisconson , Nebraska and Wyoming. Mailed out some suprise packages to my Alaskan kin along with peace offerings to others. Piece offerings to others.

Last I heard on XM nation is that the elephants were sighted on the Mexican border in the company of an activist and mariachi band. Oh well I am happy to have lent them to the cause down on our Southern border. Think I'll stick to camels in the future. Maybe I'll bring camels North instead of horses. One hump or two? Humpies! Big hairy humpies.

Spike and I are headed down to So. Cal. with soap. I've hauled soup, Ive hauled soap, and have yet to haul salvation. I have hopes of running into Jen in sunny California-it's my one big dream. Anyway, till next time
you can be sure I am criss crossing our great Nation-Vote on election day-as my brother once said-Vote and vote often.

Lets see, I see my story of the pacyderms was embellished a bit. What a hole in the trailer
did those guys make. On the way down here to Atlanta I stopped to visit Matthew and Amber.
We went out for dinner. On the way to Chili's we passed a bull elephant of pinkish hue. Life size.
A block or two later I saw some storage sheds built to look like boats. Pirate ships or Noah's little arks,
I know not which. If I had a lift gate on my truck, the elephant would have been relocated to the shed
and a photo op would not have been passed by. Rain all the way from Denver, Kansas, Missouri, a lay over
on Cherry street, Illinois, the Bluegrass state, the Volunteer state, and at last into Georgia.1400 miles.
In my wake, snow in Chicago. Was a big truck wreck just south of Nashville, had traffic backed up
and Interstate 24 closed for most of the day while haz mat crews cleaned up fuel.

All for now, stay tuned for the further adventures of Ranger Bill
