This was the last weekend before graduation, and it was a pretty good one. On Saturday I started what will become an annual ritual of sorts, I bought my first Motor Carrier Atlas from the local mom and pop truck stop.
A bit expensive at $34 for something I am sure I could have gotten cheaper elsewhere, well that is if I could have found it elsewhere. I had tried Walmart, and even Barns&Noble, but with the new Harry Potter book out that was everyones ONLY concern Saturday. Barns & Noble resembled a Harry Potter movie set in-between shoots there were so many people there all dressed up, including the B&N employees. Little else seemed to matter to them, so my request at finding a Motor Carrier Atlas fell on mostly def ears. After telling the 100th store employee that I was not interested in buying the new Harry Potter book (not that I don't like the series, actually I rather enjoy it, but I had other things on my mind at the time), one employee said to me "Then what are you looking for?" in a tone of voice that implied there was really nothing else more important than Harry Potter and I must be nuts to be there for any other reason. But the employee did finally give an honest attempt to find my request, even looked it up in the computer that said they had 3 copies, but could not find those 3 elusive copies. Ohh well, in the end I did get one and that is the important thing.
Well I am off to bed to get a fresh start at my last week of school.
