New Caney, Texas: Flying J

Milage wise I am very well positioned to make my delivery tomorrow. Unfortunitly most of those miles are straight through the Houston area. I will be moving early enough to miss the worst of the morning rush hour, by like five minutes if I am lucky.

It is in the seventies here and really humid, so I won't be able to shut the truck off like I did last night. I know from experience that I don't sleep well in humid conditions. I was looking forward to sleeping with the windows cracked open again tonight though, so a bit disappointing. One thing I was not expecting, though I really should have, was the number of bugs that were going to be out and about. The front of the truck looks liked someone took a bug gun and just started blazing away at it. I think I will have to swap my windshield wipers out, since the winter blades see to be having real trouble with the bug guts.

If you were ever wondering how Neosorb (sorbitol) is transported to get to where they put the sweetener into things, well it is carried on trucks in blue steel drums. Since that is what this is a load of, pallets of blue steel drums.

My frames aer still being made, apparently I first got them four and a half years ago. Even the person I was talking to was amazed that they were still being made. Usually the life of a frame is only a few years on the production line. So a new frame has been ordered and they will give me a call when they come in. My contacts are from a slightly more recent prescription, but it looks like it is time to make an appointment with the eye doctor, just to get myself updated and perhaps order some new lenses for this new frame.

Why not get new frames with your new prescription???
