So, because of the intricacies of DOT regulations and the way I spent my time yesterday, I ended up having to take a 10 hour rest period last night instead of my usual eight.

Trouble is, that’s going to put me well behind in terms of where I was supposed to be. You see I have a load of canned vegetables bound for Jersey City New Jersey, that was supposed to be there at 8 o’clock this morning. As it stands I’m probably not going to make it there until quarter of 12. We always planned on my being a little bit late, but the way the regulations fallout made me a great deal later.
Oh, and one more thing. When I stopped to get fuel this morning, after waiting in line for about 15 minutes for one of the pumps to open up, of a gentleman was parked in front of me also waiting for fuel, drove forward and hit the fuel pump. This caused the entire system to go offline and I didn’t get my fuel. Now fortunately, I have enough fuel to make it to the next truck stop which happens to be in New Jersey. Trouble is, I wasted additional time, making me even later.
Welcome to my world.
I said yesterday that it seems to me we face a question at this next election about who we trust less… The Democrats here in the United States or the Iranians. And then thinking about it, I think I’ve come up with the answer.
I trust the Iranians more than I do the Democrats. No, I’m not suggesting that we should complete any deals with the Iranians…not at all.
You see, the difference between the two is that of the two, the Iranian are the ones who do what they say they’re going to do. As such, I take them at their word when they say the destruction of Israel is item one on their agenda.
The Democrats, meanwhile promised us shovel-ready jobs. They promised us an economic recovery. They promised us that if we liked they promised an improved health care system. They promised us a transparent administration. That most certainly has not happened. [2]
In short, they’ve done nothing that engender trust.
The Democrats have been successful at opening up travel to Cuba, and have put a ban on travel to Indiana. Kind of makes you wonder whose side they’re on, doesn’t it? Actually, it doesn’t make me wonder at all. I’ve known from the start.
See, the Iranians have been quite open about their goals, saying among other things “death to America”.
The problem right now is that the Democrats seem interested and beating them to that goal.
