Life on the Road – Trucking News Blog

is we have too many of too many things. We have way too many laws with too many lawyers. We have too many people sick who can’t afford to get better. Too many gay folks that want to but can’t get married. We have too much sugar in everything. Too many roads and bridges that need repair. Too many commercials. Too many people on Facebook and Twitter. Too many bills. Too many flat tires. Too many car dealers that leave their lights on at night. Too many Republicans – just kidding. There are far too many religions. Too many “churches” that don’t pay taxes. Too many cheap cigars.

There are too many truck drivers who don’t get paid for waiting around. We have too many rude people. Too many fast food places. Too much garbage. Too many people dying of cancer. Dying of AIDS. Still too many smokers.There are too many gas wasting cars. Too many old 8-track tapes. Too many women who wear the wrong bra. Too many men who wear socks with sandals. Way too many malls. Too many Blockbuster places. Too many Starbucks. We have too many buttons to press. Too many folks who haven’t had great sex or any sex recently. Too many things that blink. Too many bloggers. Too much paper. Too many lazy people. Too much bad weather. Way too much news. There are too many people who just don’t know what they’re talking about.

We have too many dirty bathrooms. Too many smelly people. Too many signs. Too many dentists. Too many Wal-Marts. Way too many Dollar General stores. Too many bugs – especially flies and mosquitoes. There are too many power outages. Too many pretty blondes doing too many things. Too many laws against marijuana. Too many Law & Orders. Too many trucks with loud Jake brakes. Too many energy drinks. Too many coffees. Too many sodas. Way too many types of water. Too many bottles. Too many cans. Too much plastic. Too many uncomfortable pillows. Too many liars.

Yes, there are too many people, like me, that write too many things about too many things. BUT, the #1 problem in America right now is not the wars, the economy, health care, Congress or taxes – which we have too many of by the way – it is the fact that – drum roll here – ba da da da – we have way too many damn traffic lights!
