Greetings from Luling, TX. I am on my way to Vance, AL to drop off some car parts. My appointment is for Tuesday morning, but I’m going to go up there on Monday morning and see if they will let me deliver early. If not I guess I’ll sit in a truckstop all day Monday. Anyway, I stopped here in Luling tonight because it was raining and I’m in no particular hurry. I got the last parking spot at this truck stop at about 6:30pm. It’s pretty small, but nice. It’s thundering and lightening here and I’m just glad to be off the road.
I had a chance to get a run up into New York which would have given me 1900 miles, but I decided against it. My feeling is that I’d rather have safe runs than long runs. The one to New York would have been tight on time and with winter approaching, a general lack of parking in the Northeast, and my total lack of experience, I decided this run to Alabama would be better for my nerves and the motoring public.
