Day 271, October 21, 2015.  Indianapolis, IN; Springfield, OH; 

Alarm goes off at 5:30.  Hit snooze.  Up at 5:45 and time to head out.   Going to Springfield Ohio this morning to drop off our lettuce and then see where we are going next.  

Keeping a watch on the sky as there is a meteor shower for the next couple of days but I don’t think we will have any luck with all the cars on the highway.   Shoot! 

Got to Dole at 9:15.  Appt was for 10:30 so we’re a little early but fortunately they could put is right in a door to start getting unloaded.   It’s gorgeous here in Springfield at 66 degrees and sunny.   

Got our next load.  Headed to Murfreesboro Tennessee after we stop in Columbus and Hilliard Ohio for pick ups.  

Got our load in Columbus after sitting 5 hours.  Just to get one pallet loaded.  Ridiculous waste of time.   Now off to Hillairs Ohio where hopefully we don’t have to sit all night. 

Can’t wait to get off the Ohio streets.    These drivers are crazy!   Greg had to slam on his breaks and blow his horn to keep from running over a Honda Civic who was in a big hurry to go one block and turn.   Then there is a guy on a bicycle going about 2 mph so that everybody has to move over in to the next line.  Greg can’t move over in the truck so we get to follow his idiot for a couple of blocks and he never picks up speed, gets up on the sidewalk or let’s anybody pass.   Just mosies along like its his street.  Wonder how many accidents he has caused.    Save the planet some other time than rush our traffic! 

Got to our next stop now. 

Waiting 2 1/2 hours so far.   

DG: Arrived early to appointment. Waited. They got to us early, but we had sat for several hours. For one pallet. Took about five minutes. How hard would it have been for them to do that when we got there I wonder. 

Our next pick up was only about thirty minutes away so we scurried right over. 

Waiting again. 

Annie – 10 pm.   Still waiting.  It’s nice to see a dozen employees out enjoying their cigarettes though.  

1:45 am.  Still waiting.   Going back to sleep.    Goodnight y’all.
