- The Dodgers were eliminated from the post season last night. I'm hoping for the Rays to advance, because a Philadelphia/Tampa World Series would cause heart attacks at the network that paid millions for the rights.
- We now have color-coded t-shirts at work. Grey for drivers, black for order pullers, red for receiving, and if I saw correctly, orange for the guys working will call. The drivers still wear our uniforms, but it's nice to know we can take the uniform blouse off in hot weather and still be flying the colors.
- I traded one of my t-shirts for a black one.
- What drives me crazier than anything else at work? Being there for over an hour and still not knowing what I'm loading, where it is going, or when they expect it.
- Driving back to the warehouse today I came across an interesting tableau. On Hwy 84 between Livermore and Fremont, I saw a police car pulled off to the side of the road behind a car with its blinkers on. I thought it was another speeder being caught, or a breakdown. Until I got closer and saw the officer behind his door aiming a M-16A2 at the driver of the other car, who was doing an admirable job of keeping his hands clearly visible.
- What cost John McCain the debate last night? His body language. Watching him, he came off as a smug, arrogant ass. Obama came across as a determined policy wonk.
- A new computer has been put off. We need to get passports and Worldcon memberships first.
- After dealing with a craving all day, I stopped at Round Table and picked up an order of Parmesan Twists. With Ranch and pizza dippings sauce. I was salivating so hard from the smell in Darby that my dentures practically slid out when I went to remove them. Damn, those things rock my world.
- It is 65 days, 3 hours, and 33 minutes until the Metallica concert.

capplor (the Fred half of that wonderful pair) contacted me and told me he needed a trucker for his webcomic, Angels & Aliens. I was happy to help out, and sent him links to a couple of pictures and a link to my dream truck.
Here are the results.
