Red shirts

At stevens transport, training staff are referred to as red shirts. One recently moved from red shirt back to driver status. I had met him at the Dallas yard, he drove with me on a road test. My BAHA's made him uncomfortable. The road test was shorter than scheduled and I passed. He was interesting to converse with today.

The truck is supposed to be turned in between 380,000 and 420,000 miles. I will reach the 420 milestone tomorrow when I leave Springfield,MO.

I normally drive starting around 5 or 6 AM; however, for the past few days it is graveyard shift driving. It is 5:26 in the afternoon and I will need to return to driving at midnight. I had a short nap earlier in the day; however, so much for the 8 hours of sleep.

Since we are so smart as to figure out how God makes electricity (lightening) why do we not figure out how to make it ourselves or harvest what he so bountifully supplies? There was not a shortage of electrical display while driving last night.
