Annoucement

I am going to declare Sanity’s Bluff a success and spend some time thanking everyone who has helped make it successful.

I plan to go back through all the hundreds of comments and revisit all of your blogs again. That will take quite sometime, but I want to do it. There are a few I must thank by name or at least the name you blog with. Jay, Scooter, booklover, aubreyj, phildillion, loneranger, vulture6, Thomas and many more people who have read and commented here. THANKS.

I am going to give politics a rest for awhile.
I can hear the applause.

Very soon, my blog will be redesigned by the folks at digitally essential. I have requested a truckdriving theme for the blog. It was a tall order for the artist, but it is what I want. Truck Driving has been my life for a long time. It has perhaps saved my life, (more on that in later blogs) and now makes my life comfortable. Comfortable when I get through with the driving part of my day, that is.

Most truck drivers have a world view much like I do. Like it or not, we are mostly neocons, and Christians. I have been a dues paying Teamster of 23 years now, but I rarely agree with the union’s politics. A majority of Teamsters are now Republican, and that is why the Teamsters left the AFL-CIO. Members have been griping about the union spending their dues money on only Democratic campaigns. All of this will change, and so the Liberals will be losing more financial backers. See, I am hopeless; I drag politics into every discussion. I need help, a twelve step program or something. LOL.

Truck drivers used to be known as the knights of the road. That used to be the case, but it is difficult in today’s world to be of much help to the motoring public. Our interaction nowadays with the public is mostly smiling at the four wheelers giving us the finger. Gone are the days of the sleepy truck driver pulling over to give a hippie a ride down the road, so that the conversation will keep him awake. Our world is changing constantly and most people are also changing. Life happens.

Again THANKS, and I am going to try
to give politics a rest starting right now.
