Very cool. You can check out the whole story here.
A side note before this post begins- It is 7:30 on a Saturday morning and I am the only person here. Why am I not sleeping? Consider that as I move on.
I saw an interesting blog post that noted that truck drivers have a life expectancy of 10-15 years less than the average male. This is interesting to me because my dad was a truck driver for some 35 years before retiring a couple of years ago. In truth, he continues to drive some even in his retirement. For the most part, he grew weary of the job years ago.
What struck me as funny is that at one time I wanted to follow him into the family trade (if you will) and become a truck driver myself. He threatened to break my arms which pretty much ended that discussion. Instead, I went to college, earned a couple of degrees, and became a partner in a consulting firm. And what do a do for a living- spend an enormous time traveling. Dad’s truck has a high back leather seat, CD stereo system, and bunk beds. I wedge my rear into a 17 inch wide regional jet seat with 32 inches of leg room. I also get to take off my shoes, belt, and unpack half my stuff before I get to the 17 inch seat. Who’s the idiot now? On the death scale though, my job classification pays much lower workers’ compensation rates than his. I suppose that’s a plus.
Have a good weekend.
