A tribute to discomfort

[Matt P]

Okay, another message about living, love and experience, this time sans commercial format. ;-)
When I was younger, I lived kinda like this... living, working and playing all over the world. I love my family life now but I do sometimes miss the adventure of being able to pick up and take off at a moments notice. You really feel alive when you are uncomfortable!

YES!!! I can relate.

I spent the better portion of my life "Truckin", for this very reason. Watchin all those trucks, lazily ambling up and down our "Freeways', you may wonder how could that possibly relate??? I asked my Safetyman one time why I was always sent to the worst places of any weather. He just laughed and said: "Cuz yer one of our "extreme" drivers. When a load needs to get through, you "never" let the weather "stop" you." So what does that mean exactly? It means 101,500 pounds at 70 miles per hour for 3 hours on "Black Ice", to make a delivery on time. It means 12 hours in The Blizard of all time, on a road that has been close to ALL traffic for that time. (Yes, I moved the barricades, and went anyway. Everytime. cc)

When you let it all hang out in the face of "Anything"... life... gets real interesting.
