On the flight back from Arkansas, I sat next to FedEx's only female long-haul semi driver. Her name's Darlette, and she grew up in Fort Smith. She was terribly excited to be going to Atlanta for a week-long training course because she wanted to see the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

I took 2.5 Klonopin (the last because the pilot, taking off from LR, really had the hammer down -- the speed and angle of accelleration were just too much for me). This is just enough that you can fall asleep, wake up with your head bouncing off the lowered tray table, look around, and go back to sleep. I did this three times.

More notes about crazed families and insulted politicos in a later post.
