So it's an Iraqi burial of Saddam. That might not be a bad idea, watch the site carefully, those who visit the
site and do not defecate upon it might be insurgents-or would that be profiling?
Think of Jeff Foxworthy and how he so cleverly brought us to an understanding of redneck profiles.
If you have several vehicles that barely run and lots of plastique explosive-you might be an insurgent.
If your vest goes tick tick tick, you might be an insurgent.
If you visit Saddam's grave and weep-you might be an insurgent.
If you want flight lessons but not landing lessons-you might be a terrorist.
If you want to drive trucks but not how to back up-you might be a terrorist.
If the only endorsement you want on your CDL is hazmat-you might be a terrorist.
If you board a plane and keep repeating Alla Akbar-you might be a terrorist(or an imam)

The past couple weeks leading up to and through and after Christmas found me in my favorite areas
of the country. Just after I left Leah in Stillwater I delivered a load to Palestine TX. That set me up for
a run to Alabama. The next run from Alabama to Houston. Following my delivery in Houston I found
time to drive to the Texas Gulf coast and the other hamlet by the sea-Surfside Village, TX. Spike and I
played on the beach. A run from Texas took me to Kansas. My run from Kansas to California is covered
in my comments on my last blog. Needless to say that California run was my Christmas run. I visited
Kurt Hawk while laying over in Williams, AZ. My Christmas traditions were carried out with a steak dinner
at Beto Jct, KS on Christmas eve. I splurged for a motel that evening so Santa would have a chance of catching
up with me. Dispite several losses of deer due to roadkill, I think Santa was still able to complete his
run. I have it on good authority that Santa drives an eighteen wheeler.
Interstate updates will continue after the New Year. Happy Holidays everyone.

Eisenhower, as a young officer was given the duty to consider how to go from coast to coast with a military convoy at a time when roads were mostly unimproved. It proved an adventure but it planted seeds of thought in the mind of Ike. World War II gave Ike a chance to evaluate the autobahn and to copy it's design to his vision. How did the 101st airborne arrive for the Battle of the Bulge-By truck.
The U.S. highway however must be given it's due as it served the nation before the Interstate system. The likes of highway 50 going pretty much coast to coast and passing through Montrose, CO, Washington D.C.. Don't forget 30 linking the NW to the eastern seaboard. 101 that they prefer trucks stay off of but giving views of the Pacific ocean unequalled.
And who can forget 66 linking So Cal to Chicago. Get your kicks on 66
captured the wanderlust of the nation. Clinton is attributed to making it a historical icon. Don't forget the devils highway-666 which has been renamed because of it's negative connotations. These highways were mostly two lane, passed through the towns versus the bypasses. But keep in mind, they are still a kick to drive and interstates are for sissies.
In future blogs I'll take you along with me on some of these.

Made it through the great Midwest storm. Kept having to stop for road closures. My mere 2000 pounds didn't help in the high velocity winds of Indiana and Illinois. I70 was closed at St. Louis forcing a layover on Cherry Street. The next day dawned bright sunny and cold so Spike and I headed down I44 to Oklahoma stopping for more snow removal just shy of Joplin. A mechanical delay at Big Cabin, OK ate hours and I rolled into Stillwater, OK at night. 7 miles before Stillwater, Bliztzen decided to ram my sleeper as I cruised the hammer lane swerving for snow drifts and frozen armadillos. With minimal damage and no sign of Santa's wheel deer I visited that night with Leah and then onward through sunshine through Amarillo, TX to TX/NM state line. Next day to Flagstaff, AZ. Next to Chiriacco Summit, CA and finally into Redlands, CA. Loaded now with 40, 000 of batteries. It seems that personal pleasuring devices in Mass are running low on juice and my load must go through in time for the great Orgasm for Peace day. I blog from Beaver, UT once again.
