I have a new career. I am now a "Commodity Relocation Specialist." That is an over-the-road trucker to the masses  If anyone had told me that I'd be doing that two months ago I would have told him or her they were crazy!I went on the road for the first time a couple of weeks ago and traveled thru Texas, Arkansas, TN, KY, IN, OH, PA, VA, WV, MD, NY, MA, CT, NH, ME, DE, DOC, and NJ. Whew! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Endless broken line On unfolding black ribbon Winding through beauty Dilapidated Barns cover the countryside In old Tennessee Picture postcard views Of Amish farmhouses in Pennsylvania Kentucky blue grass With frolicking young horses Cavorting about New England offers Virgin snow and frozen ponds For viewing pleasure Unending toll roads Long and lonely in stark Maine Are uninviting Crowding together Of too many vehicles In New York … Jersey Driving the beltway District of Columbia Nerves on edge and frayed. Western Maryland Pristine farmland beckoning In silent beauty Finally back home To the blue pages I love And my friends therein Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

It's good to see you Interloper! You've done some traveling indeed. I guess home never looks as good as it does when you're away from it. I enjoyed the view from your window. |

Welcome Home ! Dear Interloper you have been gone too long! I am keepin' a bag packed just in case you take to the roads again. Just sweep by and pick me up - I'm not bad at map-readin' hugs, Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

Hey loper, let me know when those wheels hit the ferry to the northern lights and year 'round glaciers... it's a spectacular view you won't find on your regular relocation routes.  Good to see you again! |

I've got a nephew who has been long-haul trucking for several years now, just himself and his dog. I've told him he could write a book, but since he hasn't gotten around to it, I think you should. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Sunshine ~ You were always on my mind. Martie ~ Quite a view it is, sometimes. Seymour ~ Thank you my friend. Chris ~ Now there's an offer I could never refuse. Lemme see ... I COULD use a good navigator Sadie ~ I think a first time to hear from you. Thank you for taking time to read my offering. Nancy ~ I have no doubt I shall soon have been "everywhere." I hope I have the words to properly describe the sights to you Earth Angel ~ Thank you very much ... and I shall try not to become grist ... rather to use it Midnitesun ~ There is a rumor that we may soon be wending our way up the Alcan highway. Keep a light on! Maureen ~ If someone had told me two months ago that I would be driving one of those behemoths I would have sworn they were on something illegal! Now I can parallel park 'em! Marge ~ You just tell me where in FL and I will be sure to either stop by or call ... I promise! Passing shadows ~ ditto! Pilgrimage ~ I've been thinking along those lines, my friend. Maybe a book of poetry ... whaddayathink? Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
