Rockwall, Texas: TA

I got to this TA yesterday around five PM and have been hanging out here while I wait for them to find me my next load. Yesterday I started out in Stanton, Tennessee, and it was raining almost the entire way here. One part of I-30 near Little Rock, Arkansas, was partially closed due to water flooding onto the road way. Fortunately that was on the East bound side so it didn't effect me at all. I think the back-up was at least five miles long, with no really good way around it.

Last night I once again walked around to the shopping in the area. I found a place called Ladybug Scrubs, where I picked Tisha (my fiance) up a pair for Mothers Day. It won't be a surprise since I had to call her for size and preference. I also had to make certain that they would take a delayed return if it came to that. Since she has worn this brand before I think we are safe. Then I found a Chipotle to eat dinner at, it was a lot better than Burger King, and a lot cheaper than the TGI Fridays that I ate at last time I was down here. Then it was off to waste some time in the local Best Buy, where I only bought one DVD. Though the digital TV receiver for a laptop was tempting, somehow I resisted, I think it was the $90.00 price tag. The DVD was a lot cheaper for areas that I have a poor broadband connection and can't view video. All four Nightmare on Elm Street movies for ten dollars. It seems like a good way to kill four hours of time.

The air was so humid out last night that the truck was covered in moisture from having the air conditioning on last night. It is is a lot cooler today, but even more humid, you can almost swim in this air.

Now it is just a waiting game.
