Sourdough- My dad passed away on Jun 5, 1999. He got off the road in 1990, after driving an old truck (a big rig) for years. Your story sounds like something "Lil' Rascal" (my Dad's CB handle) would have done. My dad used to sing and play his harmonica to keep himself awake and keep the other truckers company. His favorate tune to play on harmonica was "Wildwood Flower". "Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks..." Beautiful story.
