It is important to remember all those that touch us from time to time. When you are out here on the road, the person you touch you may only see for a few minutes. I get the wonderful opportunity to meet folks from all walks of life. In the past couple of weeks I have learned a lot just from sitting down and listening to what someone has to say. It is an education that no college, tech school, or motivational speaker can give you. It is the education about what makes our great country great.
Last week it was the chance to meet farmers, truckers, auctioneers, tractor salesmen, carpenters, and family men. Yes, it was great to sit there and talk to those two men. Sitting down for breakfast before starting my day with a couple of men in small town Nebraska. In all the talk of things going wrong, never did these two men say they were waiting on a government handout, help from another state, or wondering what someone else was gonna do for them. No, these two men talked about what had to be done that day, and what they were going to do to get it all accomplished. There was talk of the cattle auction the day before, how many loads of grain were gonna get loaded, who was buying a new tractor, and work on the barn that had to be done.
I have also had the chance to meet new people in the last weeks. Last night I spent an hour or two talking to a new driver about some of the ins and outs of this lifestyle. I also got to meet a new friend who shares a sporting interest. It is always good to meet new folks. I also want to say a word for my friend, Dustin Thomas, Lawyer and Talk Radio Host. You can hear him at Talk Radio 1580 in Pascagoula, MS.
Keep it between the lines my friends!
