i hate diesel trucks

There's this truck that sits idle outside my window every morning. Sometime in the evening too. It drives me crazy. There isn't anything in the world that grates in my nerves more than a diesel truck idling. Well, nothing that I can think of at the moment.

For some reason, on this page, I feel compelled to turn this into some sort of metaphor for Life. I can't think of anything. It just bugs me, is all.

I'll be honest, I've been feeling pretty crappy lately. There's this cold to start with. My grandfather died two weeks ago. I'm still not sure how I'm dealing with that one. We weren't very close, although I made an effort, these last couple years, to spend more time with him when I was home on the occasional weekend or holiday.

I didn't know him very well, I suppose. One thing that surprised me was when I was told that I'm exactly like he was when he was young. I'd never noticed, except that we're equally talkative... Which is to say we aren't.

I know I'll miss him. He was always such a nice guy. It's a shame I didn't know him better.

I too hate trucks. I live near a highway and for the most part, the cars don't bother me, but the trucks using their "jake" brakes register over 93dba on my hand held sound level meter sitting on my rear deck. I have contacted the police, local representatives, PADOT, and local authorities, and everyone passes the buck saying there is nothing that they can do about the noise. This is driving me crazy, notwithstanding the anoying noise keeping me up at night. I HATE TRUCKS!!!!!!!
