Alien World
Being back home for a few days and getting back into a normal life of a home with beds, your own bathroom without getting permission, real meals, going to restaurants without needing a 40 acre lot to park, I realized what a total alien life truck driving really is. Once you climb back into the cab and hit the road you enter a twilight zone; traveling through different worlds and making stops on different planets at weird hours. You are treated as a necessary entity, but an alien that they really don’t care to deal with but are willing to use to get their goods transported to a foreign port in a distance galaxy. As you make your journey you deal with the intergalactic cops, the local planetary cops, and the discrimination of the local residents. You fly like crazy trying to meet your appointments while making fueling stops, fighting for areas to stop for the required shut down times as required by the IGC Federation Laws. You deal with a lack of spaces to dock, no space ship docking allowed signs, use only right traveling lanes, and loading docks that weren’t build to accommodate a freighter your size. You deal with the extreme colds of planet Minszar to the extreme heat of planet Texmexzoid. Then you deal with meteorite showers, traffic jams, and skyjackers. Every few years you get home for a few days to pretend you are normal. But while out you visit the universe and see places that you would not normally see. You experience places in all seasons. An occasionally you meet some very nice people.

About Me
- Sailor
- I am a nurse with an interest in living healthier through nutrition and exercise. I work and a full time college student. I have an understanding of the time restrains to prepare health foods and to get the exercise that I need. I was born and lived in Tennessee but moved to Fort Lauderdale when I was twenty one. I lived in Fort Lauderdale for twenty five years and in Vero Beach for five years before returning to Tennessee. I have moved back to Fort lauderdale. I have two sons that I am very proud of. I love my children, and grandchildren. I had worked in the manufacturing (mostly with plastics) industry for over forty years. That has been a lot of who I am. But we are forever changing and it was a time for me to change. At sixty one I went to school and got my license as a practical nurse. I am now in college working toward my RN.
