It's an expose on corruption in the trucking industry.

It I hadn't seen it up close and personal (as an escort for oversize loads) I wouldn't have believed it.
You'd think interstate regs would also protect the little guys ~ not happening.
Owner-operators and OTR drivers are being victimized by the larger carriers on almost every trip.
Honest working people are going broke trying to earn a living.

Byron, Leigh, Willamina and Angel.

Byron crossed the Rainbow Bridge in July, 2001. I swear he understood everything I said.
We lost Leigh in September, 2011 after giving us 16 1/2 years of pure love.

Willamina was my Billie girl. She lived over 18 years.
Her daughter Angel was allergic to the world. She was always sneezing year round.

My life was immeasurably richer because of their love, their devotion.

I did volunteer work at the East Village location of the Merton Buber House in the early 70's.

I'm a Liberal, now, I always was.
Change happens with one person at a time.
We can't give up our beliefs as we age. We simply must pass them on.

About In_The_Wind

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~~~~~~~~~ For, it ends in the blink of an eye. Carpe Diem (Seize the day)!
