All right, I was just trying to find someplace I could pull over because it was just really hazardous driving through that. I think that was up in Iowa. And it was just trying to find someplace, an off-ramp that I could park on the ramp or a rest area or a scale. I think I finally found a scale and I went in there and there's a couple of other trucks parked in there just to be able to pull over and get some sleep and wait it out because it was something else, the storm there. That's the first time I had seen lightning during a snowstorm. So it was pretty crazy. I was in Texas going across 30 there and it took like a day and a half to go about 20 miles just because the roads were just complete ice and every time we'd get going, something else happened and there'd be another accident and then we'd be stuck again. So it took like I said about a day and a half to go about 30 miles to finally get into Fort Worth and make my delivery. But that one was crazy. Going down through Long Interstate 10 after I think it was Hurricane Katrina and seeing just all the devastation there. Luckily I missed it by a couple days. But yeah, being out here on the road you end up getting into some of these wacky weathers and it can get pretty crazy especially when you're in a truck. I was up in the Chicago area and they have a tornado warning of all things. And we went into the truck stop and was in there for about a couple hours and then came back to the truck and then they put out another alert, you know, take shelter. And by that time I was just tired so I said to heck with it. If it's going to take the truck then I'm just going to end up going with it. That's some of my wacky weathers and hopefully I killed enough time. And I know a few of you back there.
