This was at the Georgia Welcome Center on I-75 southbound. I checked the receiver and got a dial tone. Don't see these very often.
I'm convinced that's how COVID started.
I'm convinced COVID began after a secret, late night backroom meeting at the DNC.
All I know is that the life expectancy numbers began to rise as the payphones started to disappear. Coincidence? I think not!

Bingo. I40 , exit 96, south side of highway. This is the exit for the Loves. The one that doesn’t have a CAT scale.
CAT Scale:
A network of over 1,500 certified truck scales across the U.S. and Canada found primarily at truck stops. CAT scales are by far the most trustworthy scales out there.
In fact, CAT Scale offers an unconditional Guarantee:
“If you get an overweight fine from the state after our scale showed your legal, we will immediately check our scale. If our scale is wrong, we will reimburse you for the fine. If our scale is correct, a representative of CAT Scale Company will appear in court with the driver as a witness”
We, my trainer and I, got off the PA turnpike due to bad weather and parked for a 10 hour reset. My first time in the slippery stuff here in the lot. Parking here is slightly uphill. (I'm on the far left.)
May be hard to see, but there is a cross way up on the hill. That was pretty neat to see.
This is a Minnesota sunrise from earlier this week.
The sun took a different direction for me yesterday in Minnesota! I encountered a small blizzard and slick roads on MN-15, north of Brownton and slid off the road in a split second at 25 MPH. My only thought was to keep it turned some to the right to avoid rolling over, judging by the grade of the area. That and the thought of, "Sure wished I had stayed put near St Cloud where there was no blizzard at that truck stop!" Hindsight is usually 20/20, though.
Not sure of any damage yet because she's still buried and I continue to wait to see if we get a wrecker (or two) today. This morning the snow had drifted up over the bottom of the door. Not the way I wanted to begin this new year at all.

That is rough, good job keeping it up right. Hopefully they can get you back on the pavement soon.

I'm convinced that's how COVID started.
But I probably would've tested it and put in a quarter to call myself
