What happened to manly truckers?

So, we went to Boise today and it brought up an interesting topic. Have you noticed the average trucker these days? Maybe my memory is faulty, but it seems to me that they used to actually be men. Now, they more resemble nintendo nerds than truck drivers. What happened to real pants? Work boots? The ability to lift more than a Starbucks latte without breaking into a sweat? This week there was a delivery to the feed store and the driver couldn't even get into the back of the truck to unload pallets. He had to be lifted up with the forklift! And his sweat pants didn't want to stay up, he had no gloves, slip on shoes... I mean really? Doesn't anyone teach them to be prepared anymore?

Anywho - not much else to report. Tomorrow I go to TRY & get my hair foiled again. (Blimey - foiled again!) This will be the THIRD time we've tried to get it take color, it's being very difficult.

More later on our trip maybe. We'll see.
