'Fright'liner

Put 90 miles on the Freightliner this week in truck driving school - all of it in downtown Minneapolis/St. Paul.  Somehow managed to white-knuckle 80 feet of big rig through road construction (designed for pedestrians and go-carts) around the airport, Metrodome and Target Field.  ~L

Carhartt'nal Sin

Most likely ruined the collector value of all my Carhartts when I ran 'em through the wash today.  First time they've had a bath since '95.  Nearly created an environmental disaster with the gasoline, wood smoke, and motor oil runoff.  ~L

'Dis-track-ted' Driver

Created a new proverb this week.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.  Give a middle-aged mother of four a cell phone with texting capabilities and she'll run her minivan off the driveway to within a foot of hitting a tree.  ~L
