late night ramblings from the road

taken from a notebook:

we're driving through Arkansas right now. I drive all the way from Columbus to Nashville yesterday. Amber took over after Nashville but we got tired about an hour before Memphis. we slept a little while (sort of) at a pilot travle center but we both were a little too restless and amber ended up taking us off around 5 or 5:30. same truckers followed us out of the gas station and literally ran us off the road, into a construction zone. The one kept trying to hit us from behind while the one in front blocked our way. He passed us and he was driving a 'covenent transport' truck- one of those crazy christian trucking co.'s -- fucker! whatever- anyways we were worried b/c he was got in front of us and then ducked right back off into a rest area, so we thought he was trying to get back behind us. we were worried to pull back over anywhere to try to sleep some more so we just jetted hoping to lose him, and we flew the hell right out of retched tennesee. a rest area in arkansas was really nice with a little flower garden and a giant spider, the sun risingm the mist settling, and the cuteness / pleasantness of everything here (minus the hair in my egg mcmuffin) makes for a really good morning :) hoping to be near or in California by tonight to sleep.
