DOG CHOW

In this photo released by the Australian
Venom Zoo, a five-meter (16-foot) python
swallows a pet dog whole in Kuranda, Australia,
Monday night, Feb. 25, 2008. The python
stalked the family dog for days before swallowing
the pet whole in front of horrified children in
the Australian tropics, animal experts said
Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2008.(AP Photo/
Australian Venom Zoo, Stuart Douglas)

Damn that's a big ass snake !

But I can't help but wonder...if they knew it

was there and stalking their dog why the hell
didn't they do something to protect their
[[ PET ]] dog

We used to go fishing up on the Verde River

about 65 miles E. of Mesa and every once in
a while we would get lucky and kill a Rattle Snake
and DAMN that's GOOOOD EATS ! I think
if I was that dog's human I'd be havin a freezer
full of Python steaks and a couple on the
grill by next evening .

I wonder what Python taste's like ?

THE LANDFILL vs THE DUMP

I was hauling asphalt today up Hwy. 87 to
where they are widening the road .

From the Hot Plant to the job site I made six
trips up and down the Hwy. passing the landfill
each time and on the fourth trip up it struck me .

When in hell did we start calling it the landfill ?
Sometime in the last 35 years people started
calling it the landfill instead of the dump .

When I was a kid Pop would tell me -

Before you take off to play Saturday I want you
to help me load {whatever it happened to be}
into the pick up and go to THE DUMP .

He always called it the dump , everyone we

knew called it the dump , I always called it the dump .

Until seven years ago when I came off driving
long haul and started driving local construction
[sometimes we haul dirt in to bury the trash]

I started calling it the landfill because that's
what was on the paper work .

Suddenly at that moment I felt like I had just

lost part of my childhood .

Maybe it's silly to be so sentimental about

what we call that big ass hole where we put
our trash....or maybe it's something else .

I MISS YOU POP

It's a win win

It says
Apple computers announced today that it has

developed a computer chip that can store and
play music in women's breast implants.

The iboob will cost between $499 and $599

This is considered to be a major breakthrough,

because women are always complaining about
men staring at their breasts and not listening
to them.

Thanks to Apple , everyone is now happy

Well maybe not, somebodies gotta pay for the
iboob chip and you just know the implants
are gonna cost extra . Still well worth the
investment don't you think ?

Mmm Tasty

I took this picture about 15 years ago in
Las Cruces NM. the little joint was already
closed down because there was a brand new
Pilot Truck Stop across the road ...
or maybe it was just the cooking.

I know it's a little blurry but that's because

I didn't have a digital camera back then so
this is a picture of a picture .

RAIN

Rain

It's a love/hate relationship for me.
I mean I love the rain and thunder and we need
it but in my line of work when it rains we
dont work--no work no pay.

One of the reasons I love living in the valley of
the sun is the year round almost always clear
weather from a work perspective.

But I do love rain in fact every night when I go
to bed I listen to a CD of a rain & thunder storm
because it relaxes me and helps me get to sleep
no matter whats on my mind. I close my eyes
and think of a mountain forest and I rarely
make it past the first 10 min. of the CD.

It rained here early fri. morning and off and on
all day and it's still cloudy and cool today.
Today will be a good day to drink coffee
and watch movies .

For HoosierGirl


Hi HoosierGirl
Well This is my blog, I haven't been spreading
it around because I don't think I'm very good
at it [yet] and I haven't posted any thing in
awhile because I've been so busy reading and
participating in other blogs plus I've been
stressed out about loosing too much work due
to the recent holidays and too much rain but
that's another story.

I drove long haul but now I drive local in the
construction industry, above is a pic. of the
truck I drive.

I don't know if your familiar with this kind of rig,
it's called a super 18. The rear extended axle
raises up and flips over into the bed and the
three axles right in front of the drives are called
pushers they raise and lower for loaded or
empty as well.
I hope you will check out my older post's and
give me any pointers you might have to make
my blog better, and yes if you read my first post
you will see that I am passionately offended
by the lack of respect we truck drivers get
EVERYDAY.
Remember howling at the moon relieves stress.
