Life on the Road – Trucking News Blog

When I get up in the morning (in my truck) I “throw” on a pair of $17 blue shorts, a t-shirt (with a pocket) from Flying J for $3.99 and a pair of white sneakers from Wal-Mart for $18. I wear white sox, but I don’t recall what they cost, probably $1.99  Sometimes I will wear this (same) outfit two or three days in a row. Yes, I change my underwear – Hanes – every day.

I probably spend $100 a year on clothes. I refuse to ever wear a tie – I threw away all my “dress” clothes years ago and my son “steals” anything “nice” that I buy. When I get home I wear the same thing I use on the road – the only difference is I wear the beige colored shorts, not blue. I hate shopping and wear everything until it’s full of holes. BUT I am NOT a woman. And I am NOT running for Vice-President of the United States of America.

I love women. I love everything about them. Everything. Now let’s forget about all those female “unmentionables” – those “delightful” things that we love to see our wives and girlfriends in. I hear on shows like “Whatever” on Martha Stewart (Sirius/XM) that a good brassiere is hard to find and not cheap. Then there are the PJ’s, the tops, pants, sweaters, skirts, blouses, jeans, jackets, blazers, belts, scarves, coats and dresses.

And the handbags, sunglasses, socks, tights, hose, wraps, etc. And the shoes. Women don’t love shoes, they worship them. Don’t forget the handbags and purses. And the makeup. And all the hair products. And the “happy” folks to do the hair and makeup. Affluent women pay folks to blow their hair dry. And the waxing, the nails – hands and feet and the earrings.

So, Gov. Palin was “provided” $150,000 worth of stuff to wear. So what. Big deal. A small price to pay to be in the pubic eye EVERY DAY. I think she should get to keep everything when the campaign is over. If “they” win, she’ll certainly need it – and more. If “they” lose, she deserves it for all the nonsense the morons in the media have subjected her to.  If “they” need a donation for the clothes, I’ll be the first to send her some money. And I’m not even a Republican. Because – I understand.
