Sharing the Love's

While fueling up Love's Truck Stop this afternoon in Rolla, Missouri, a stocky ex-football-player-looking individual approached the truck. Expecting panhandling, I apprehensively turned toward the man as he exclaimed, "You're from Beyer?! That was MY school!"

My mind quickly moved from "panhandler" to full on "crazy" I said yes. He continued, "I graduated from Beyer in 1977. I couldn't believe it when I saw your trailer!" He asked where we were going.

Now it was my turn for some fun. "We stole this rig from a parking lot in Oklahoma."

He looked shocked.

"Not really," I said. "We're on our way to Dayton for the WGI World Championships and are meeting the kids there tomorrow."

"That's great. Good luck!" he replied. I asked his name and he said it was Mike Seavers. Anyone out there remember him?

PS. Here's a photo of a McDonalds that spans a four-lane highway. Nothing but excitement on THIS trip.
