At my one stop yesterday the vibes were so awesome. [View all]

Dyslexic bad punctuation warning.

It’s a place that employs those that are mentally handicapped. Usually if it is going to be a half hour or longer i will wait in my day cab.
Yesterday i stood by my trailer as it was being loaded just enjoying the sweetness and innocence of those that work there.
Examples of what I’m trying to describe in what i felt.

One fellow loading with a hand jack asked me if I’m going to drive this freight to California. I replied no then i explained to him it will go to our terminal get unloaded and reloaded.

And then will go into our system to go across country or perhaps to the rail yard on a loaded trailer and go west. Yet this gentle kind human told me one day he wants to visit California.
A young woman perhaps in her twenties proudly told me about her cat that just had a litter of kittens. She found the momma cat a couple of weeks ago and took her in.
Just saying i left that stop feeling good from hanging out with these lovely people.
