I haven't owned a gun in a number of years, and it is illegal for me to carry one in this commercial vehicle. But if I changed careers, got something of a "real" job, and actually had a place to live you can bet your ass I'd go renew my license and be armed.

Gun control is a joke. Criminals will get weapons no matter what laws are enabled. Such measures only restrict the right for law abiding people to protect themselves. Just get trained if you've never used one before... seriously. It is a massive responsibility.

I hope you feel better. I will refrain from telling you how bad it can suck being sick in a semi.

Finally going to watch "SAW" tonight. I had no idea there was a SG interview for it... complete coincidence that I finally got to Wal Mart and found the widescreen version.

I know the place you're talking about. In fact, I passed it yesterday on my way to make a pickup in... FINDLAY! Heh. Automobile windshields that I brought (here) to N. Brunswick, NJ. I am pretty careful about where I buy fuel... because I get a discount at some places and not others. Thus, I tend to eat, shower, sleep at the places I buy fuel from. That Petro isn't one of them. The only Petro that I really go to is the one at exit 215 on I-80 in Milton, PA. They have an Iron Skillet there.

I guess truck stop restaurants are more of a novelty for the folks who aren't forced to eat all of their meals in them. When I was a young pup, we would usually hit Bickford's for late night meals. Not sure if they have those in Ohio / Michigan area. It's a 24 hour, breakfast anytime chain that is popular (at least) in the north-east. No waffle house, huddle house, etc in New England for the most part.

There is also only ONE truck stop in Rhode Island (where I grew up) that I am aware of, and I didn't live near it (relatively speaking, since anything is within an hour of anything else in RI).
