3:30 am.   Alarm goes off.  Time to go to receiver, which is Kroger this time.   

The alarm woke me up during a very interesting dream.    I was driving up a hill into a big canyon and there were protesters on both sides of the road with signs.  I park and get out and there is my cousins Rita.  People are standing all around and a few are sitting against the rocks.  She starts getting all worked up about everybody is just standing around. Nobody’s doing anything.   She starts yelling “Come on people!  This is important.  Get up!”   I walk on down the path a bit and it turns and I see millions of people all over the rocks, in the canyon, going back as far as you can see.  I start telling Rita to hush and Come here.  She says “But nobody’s doing anything”. I take her down the path a bit and turn and she sees all the people.  We are overcome with gratitude and amazement.   Then all of a sudden everyone, millions of them, start singing in unison like a choir of Angels.    I still don’t know what the protest was about or what we were doing but the Angels are with us.   

6 am.  All done.  Boy, that was fast.   Now headed to Jonesboro, Arkansas.  Load isn’t scheduled to be ready until 2 pm but hopefully it will be ready early! 

9:30. They are able to take us early so heading to Butterball.  

Saw this old truck on the road.  Pretty cool.  They don’t make them like that anymore. 

  
10 am.  Butterball!! 

10:30.  Got our load and headed to Illinois.  

3 pm. Snowing a lot of the way. Not much. Roads are fine.   

The Snow Geese are back.    We saw several big groupings like this today. 

5:30 pm.  Parked for the night in Effingham, Illinois.  Only have about three hours to go to get to our appointment at noon.   

Went in and had Sbarro for dinner.  Fairly decent and differnt.  Hadn’t had pizza in a while.   Greg had the spaghetti and meatballs and was sure to save one for Precious.  Haha. 

Since we don’t have to get up before dawn we were able to watch a movie.  Greg wanted to watch Blazing Saddles.  Predator was on in the lounge and he watched some of it while I had some work to do.   I think he needed something funny after that.  Haha

10 pm. Turning in.   Goodnight y’all. 

DG:  Epilogue.  Blazing Saddles kept me from having nightmares about the Preditor. God bless.
