The Hershey load made it safe and sound to Pennsylvania (and unfortunately for me, intact). The Hershey chocolate factory was in sight, but Rick had no time to be a tourist as he had another load of Hershey products bound for Kentucky.
Kentucky, the "Bluegrass State", was an easy ride and those Hershey products made it safely (drat, another missed opportunity). From Kentucky, Rick was hauling a Smucker's load (sweets must be in the air) to St. Paul, Minnesota.
By coincidence, I am also headed to St. Paul for a work conference. Too bad Rick and I were going to be there 5 days apart. It would have been nice if it could have been a "Laredo" moment (stuck in one place for a number of days) so I could have met up with him....but hold the brakes, Rick had to detour to Nashville, TN. Turns out his refrigerated trailer's ("reefer" in trucker lingo) cooling system went out and is headed in for repairs. Hopefully this layup won't be too long.
On a sad note, two CR England drivers were killed in a accident on I-8 in California last week. Our prayers go out to their families. We wish all truck drivers a safe journey.
