About This Site

This blog is primarily intended to keep our family and friends up-to-date on where we are and where we’re going as we drive around the country as long-haul truckers. But it’s also a chance to share some observations about life on the road and life in general.

The title is a reference to one of the things we find so attractive about driving a truck (which weighs 40 tons – 80,000 pounds – when fully loaded); it allows us to travel all over this great country of ours, see the sights, and get paid while we're doing it!

Midwest Values - Part II

The video below was e-mailed to us by Mike's mom. In addition to being an outstanding rendition of the National Anthem, I consider it another indication of the Midwest value system, one that includes respect for America. While I'm sure most people in LA, New York, and other urban areas would say they, too, respect America, I say actions speak louder than words. Notice how quiet this crowd is throughout the performance, something that probably wouldn't happen during a Lakers' game.

Amen, folks that was great. Be safe out there.

Mike and Lori,

Really loved the video. I am not offended by the Midwest values label. But, from looking at the basketball court this was a Texas Tech home game in Lubbock Texas. We all call this "Texas Patriotism".
