Isn't it interesting that the Anna Nicole will names her son as sole heir and Stern as executor.
Then the heir dies leaving no heir. How conveeeeenient. I predict that Stern will sink to
level to give us all reason to by cynical of lawyers.

A load of pepsi cans out of LA took me to Phoenix. That short run led to the current load.
I picked up this mysterious white powder(40+thousand pounds) in Superior, AZ. Down
through the San Carlos Apache Rez, then New Mexico and now Texas. A few more of the Southern
states to go to reach my destination near Atlanta, GA. I really do not know what I am hauling
but I assure everyone that the load did not come with straws. Bloggin near Ft. Worth. If
stopped, it'll be near Ft. Leavenworth.

Yukon Quest-yest it kicked off without much media attention at all on Saturday Feb 10.
Kickoff was in Whitehorse. They are off for Fairbanks. I just checked, leaders are out
of Stevens Point I believe.

And of Nancy-our last greatest hope if GW and VP Cheney should falter. Should she get
the plane? NOOOOO. I wonder about a person that makes such a ado about her succession prospects.
Have your food tasted Mr. President. Evidently for Nan, Granny MiMi, size matters as does
stamina. It must go non stop to California-buy some depends MiMi and fly the lear.

And now a fighter escort? I think a broom placed in her parking space in DC would be fitting.
A broom for the WW of the West.

Will the insanity ever stop? Trekking around the country listening to the minute by minute
coverage of Anna Nicole Smith and also of the Astronut in Didees. By now the list of those
claiming to be fathers is growing to one to rival opening day at Toys are Us when the latest
Nintendo system is released. Sadly none of these seem to have cared for the baby till the
fortune was put into play. Zza Zza Gabor ought divorce her cheating duke leaving him without
either nest eggs. I imagine Bill Clinton at the end of the line saying "I think I had sex with
THIS woman". I would hope the judge who is ruling on the outstanding paternity suit jails
the lawyer/hopeful father for contempt of court. Anna and he were in the US without the baby
in an attempt to prevent legal due process. I'd jail him till the baby is delivered for proper DNA
testing. Anyone who is present at two untimely deaths has alot of explaining to do. Gee
Mr. Stearn-why do we keep meeting under such circumstances. Anna left quite a mess behind
and that poor baby will have to pay the price.

Here I am in LA area. Delivered an hour and half early after the 1000 mile dash from Denver.
Mtn passes, winter weather and plenty of traffic. Pulling my heavy load nearly grossing me
at 80,000. The recieving warehouse rewards my effort by detaining me for 2 and half hours
just to get to the dock. Total time including unloading 4 and half hours which killed what
remained of my allowed 14 hour day. They would not allow me to park there and sleep, so
I scouted out a underused Walmart parking lot. Two hours into some sleep a mountie for hire
tapped on my window saying I had to leave his parking lot. 10 minutes later he knocked again with
the same message-I explained to him I had to at least dress, warm up the truck, I got out to scout
a way past all the decorative planters when he knocked again. Aside from harrassment of a tired
driver he added to his sins by impersonating a real policeman.

I violated my log and hour of service rules in seeking out the one remaining parking space 40 miles
away.

According to the US DOT in 1997 there were 1,100,000 trucks of the 60,000 to 80,000 size.
Also according to the DOT there are only 31,249 parking spaces at our rest areas in this country
with 450 of those in Alaska. There are 284,000 truck stops parking spaces -now you do the math
where do you park. Do the remaining trucks orbit, do laps till spaces open up. How can you
possibly comply with HOS rules. By the way the number of truck stop spaces in Alaska is zero
per the US DOT. Maybe a truck stop is a good business idea-located in Anchorage.
