Subject: RE: Thought for the Day - July 7,00
Damn!!! I read this thing and immediately hopped in my van and took off. Peter, I must tell you that I was so overcome with excitement that I paid almost no attention to all those damn flowers and weeds you mention which are growing alongside the road. Frankly they are a real mess and the state needs to get the mowing crews out more. But I barely gave them a nod as I zoomed along for I-70 and Rt. 37. When I got there I was once again overcome with the thrill of it all as I drove through the two massive truck stops located there. Now I am simply pissed.

I drove through row upon row of trucks and peered into both restaurants and shower rooms (with some caution) and I couldn't find a single butterfly trucker anywhere. I saw several largish beetles and nasty looking moth of some sort, but none of them were driving trucks and in fact the moth flew into a bug zapper while I watched!

What a crock. Now I'm out time and several gallons of very expensive gas, although I did pick up a nice pair of fuzzy dice in the gift shop.
