2 am.  Time to get up and head to Mississippi.   We need to get refrigerator fuel (reefer fuel) before we park the trailer so it stays cold while it sits.   We stopped at the truck stop we stopped at last night on the way in to the Walmart distribution center but they were closed.  Every light in the place on and it’s locked up tight.  This also means no bathroom!  An attendant who watches over the truck parking area came over and said they closed at 10 and if I needed a bathroom I could use the one the truckers use, “it’s pretty clean”.  Suffice it to say it was not “pretty clean” but When you gotta go you gotta go.  The next truck stop is 70 miles.    Why is it that men can’t hit the toilet bowl.  Why must is be in the floor, on the seat, who knows where else.   It’s a pretty good size target to hit if you ask me.   

Ok.  Took trailer and moldy bacon back to lot and picked up empty trailer to take back to Louisiana.  

I’m Melting!!  Got to our stop to pick up load and it’s at a chemical place.   They won’t let me in since I am not a driver so I have to get out of the truck and wait at the guard shack while Greg goes in and picks up load.  Do they let me in the guard shack where it’s air conditioned?  NO!  Do they give a nice chair to sit in outside in the heat?  NO!   I am sitting on a hard as nails fold up chair in 82% humidity and sweating bullets.   Nice to know the guy in the guard shack is nice and cool though.   

Ahhhh.  Here comes my ride with his escort. 

Bought myself a present at the truck stop.  Signed edition!   841 pages. Chicken etoufee anyone?  If it swims, crawls, walks, hops or flies this book has a recipe for it.  

We decided to stop in Jackson Mississippu for the night where KLLM has a terminal.  We dropped the trailer there and drove to the quality inn for the night down the road.  We did laundry, showered and were able to watch some TV.    Now off to sleep.  Gotta get up at 2 to finish our trip.   Sure will be nice to sleep in a normal bed even if it’s just for a few hours. 

Greg is already asleep so I better turn in too.  Goodnight y’all.
