In picking up my paperwork for my Chicago, IL run this morning, I found out that the appointment was for 12:00 noon instead of 8:30 AM. I had mistakenly read the information wrong yesterday when I accepted the load and assumed that today's date was the appointment time for today. Sigh. So here I sit for a few hours in Chicago waiting until the receiver is ready enough to take me.
Later, they do take me early (cool!) and then I'm on my way back to the warehouse in Milwaukee, WI. There, I wait for almost an hour before hooking unto a trailer bound for Mankato, MN.
I saw the start of a beautiful sunset as I approached the La Crosse, WI area and beyond. Sunset and dusk occurred as I passed through Rochester, MN.
Katrina will be recorded as the worst storm ever. May rescuers be quick to find survivors before it's too late. May authorities be given wisdom on how to begin the ongoing clean-up operation.
When I started with another trucking company one year ago, one of the places I delivered to was in Gulf Port, MS. I delivered to a warehouse right on the ocean front. Needless to say, although I haven't see pictures of that area yet, there isn't anything remaining of that warehouse. That's sobering.
