Leighton, Tennessee: TA

I am about 718 miles away from my delivery in Indianola, Pennsylvania. Which means I will not be making it there before Saturday morning. Between a truck that only goes 65 MPH and Ohio's truck speed limit of 55 MPH, it would take some creative driving and logging to get it there tomorrow before they close.

Most of my drive today was in rain, and it is still sprinkling outside right now. The only interesting thing I saw was a convertible that tried to merge onto I-40 while not paying attention to a wide load that was in the lane they wanted. The wide load won, and the convertible had the left side of its top taken off. The funny thing is that they had to have come on in front of the load and then put on the brakes for this accident to happen. All of the damage was back to front. It was probably another case where if they had been paying attention and either accelerated faster or slowed to come on after the truck they would have been fine.

I wasn't really impressed with this TA's selection for dinner, but its breakfast menu looks half way decent. They seem to love the fried food here, so I had a Reuben. It is really difficult to mess up a Reuben, so it is usually a fairly safe choice when you can't decide. It will be an early start tomorrow so off for some sleep.
