Well,day 5 and Opo is still acting funny. Had to pull him out of his box. He ate just fine. I blocked his box and he went to his tall grass and stayed there all day. Tomorrow Rose and I will take Opo for a car ride. Maybe promote some??????

Perfect personality for a truck driver
You really are right. It was more of a way of life with me, more than a career. I took my fat cat Big Bubba in the truck with me and I had a tv and microwave and refrigerator vcr. I was home wherever I stopped for the night. I freakin loved it, and in the Big Iowa 80 truck stop, (the largest trk stop in the USA) they had a trucking contest and I entered in the backing up part. An old time trucker and I tied for first place, I'll never forget him saying "why aren't you home with an apron on taking care of a husband and kids?" I guess a little ole girl isn't supposed to be able to back up a 53' trailer.

CDR Virtual Vacations presents On this day 2020: Today we drove south to Franz Josef Glacier and got our first view of the glacier itself. Through the zoom lens you can see the ash that has fallen from the Australian bush fires. The area was the centre of New Zealand’s short-lived gold-rush and remnants of the workings can be found.
