We Interrupt Our Regular Post For This Very Important Announcement

Ice Road Truckers is coming, Ice Road Truckers is coming, Ice Road Truckers IS COMING!!!

About a year ago Military Man, knowing my fascination with dump trucks, introduced me to a whole new career choice...Ice Road Trucking.

Ice Road Trucking is right up there with Deadliest Catch. It is one of the most dangerous jobs a person can choose. But if you choose to take the risk and drive a truck over an ice road, you can earn $40,000 in three months!!! Can you imagine, earning your salary in three months and then taking the rest of the year off!!! Okay...I don't know how much you people make, but I am a social worker and we don't make jack squat.

This became my new obsession, right up there with the dump trucks, redneck weddings, and the FLDS. And I watched the show religiously. I actually cried when the season ended. Okay, didn't really cry or shed a tear, but after the season ended, I felt like there was something missing in my life. Military Man says I'm a freak and I have issues. He's probably right. But I am convinced there is a little freak in all of us. And let's face it...we all have issues. Come on, admit it, you know you do.

The idea of driving over Black Ice (black ice - good, white ice - bad) while it's 30 degrees below zero outside is something that I will probably never do. Keep in mind, I live in the deep south where 60 degrees is but ass cold. But there is nothing wrong with dreaming. And who knows, maybe one day, as I get behind the wheel of my vehicle, this is what I will see...

The Ice Road....it's calling me!!!
