Wednesday, November 24, 2010 Tuesday, March 02, 2010 without a chaperone an nothin' but he Mexican moonlight..... there was some kinda split in the road rearin' it's ol'ugly head in the way a decidin' the proper course a events related to the way in which we was ta be travelin'...now that we was without a chaperon an nothin' but the Mexican moonlight a sprinklin' itself about as much as possible..an so's as I have been known ta do I let ol' betty decide which was which, which was startin' ta dawn on lil'slicker that the decidin' a the turn was ta be left in the hands..well aint no hands in a 1967 15 speed 18 wheel highballin' with a flame paint job so hot that it ignite that which it passes Peterbilt rig such as ol'betty...but neither on high....it was the way an so's ol'betty started ta pull ever so on the gentle ta the right an that was the path in which was the way we took..now durin' some moment a time in the past near here ..the alien hairdo did that which was which it did most feverishly at the most a times in a flash an that was ta disappear...without notice or provocation by any nor all.but with the look a the amazed lil'slicker an I toiled off down the path set afore us without the wink a wariness...i had resolved my poor overworked mind into seein' this thing ta a finish an then takin' me some alone time with the lil'slicker ta see what was what...on so forth with not any other resolve in the way ol'betty an me jumped inta it...at least we was in the way a hopin' we'd find 'it' an then the 'jumpin' inta 'it' would commence. As we crested a rise in the highway we was ta be shown a small little village nestled in amongst the wild underbrush an barely pokin' it's existence out ta be seen..now not havin the slightest in the nature a my indevour an figurin' the lil'one aint in the know ..knowin' Bob as I do..an that if'n the alien was involved ,bob, outlaws, an the like all in the tangle wrestlin about like pigs in a mudbath...this here town would fit the bill in the nicely..so we pulled on down thru the brush ,scrapin the sides a the 40 movin' structure always attached ta ol'betty an pulled on in an stopped..a pack a wild dogs an kids all mixed together came floppin on about barkin hootin' an a hollerin' .the lil'slicker had already landed an met the horde with a familiarity ta be concerned with later an I went off ta seek the bar an therefore the elders ta pose a few queries..as I placed my worn body on down a man came saunterin' over an asked in a kindly manner”may I sit with you?' an seein' no reason ta deny him I replied “please take a seat an sit a spell...”...” you are the driver of the truck outside?”....again always with the most smart of them all...an my new friend must have read that because before I could say anything he said..” I know it is the most obvious of the questions ...but shall we say...ah..ah..way to break the ice..i think yes?'..an there I was with not a thing ta say but ..”yes sir that would be me...”...an he said...”good..good I have been expecting you” an all I could think was............. Thursday, January 21, 2010 the shamblin' a the prarie weeds shufflin' an rollin' with them tumbleweeds the sun had made it's way over the crest a the hill an spilt upon the land a hue a colors unknown here-to-for..an drapin the air with the sweet scent a mexico...the road windin' into places unseen as yet an they all be bustlin' with that -that goes on...it was feelin' like floatin an driftin' on the plains a old with the shamblin a the prarie weeds shufflin' down an rollin' with the tumbleweeds..the music a the night started ta fill in an all was ta be as it should,with night becomin' the lead in this here play...the cab had pretty much been on the silent for the spell just spent..it wasn't in my mind ta break that as yet an so's my mind drifted ta a time when I was a youngin' back at the truck stop my papa had left me at..only ta find he weren't my pa at all..but..there was a day that had done eched inta a lodgin' in the memory banks.. it were a hot day an the new pa I had aquired was tellin' me ta clean out the back lot a some trash an such..so's as I was back there mutterin' ta myself bout the toilin' I was put to..i saw a big rig pull in an it had the look about it a strange an it piqued my interest an so's I snuk myself roun' the side there an hung ta watch the event as it was ta unfold...at first it was appearin' in the norm an it was getting' borin' an as I was turnin' ta leave I heard me a noise on the side a pop..my thinkin' was in the way a gunshot as a youngin' perked for adventure would do..an so's I crawled closer ta look an sure as was, there was this stranger pointin' a gun at pa an pa was drippin' fluid an then in the flash a right I saw pa raise his hand an bam..the guy was gone.......gone...never forgot that an never mentioned it ta pa an never whined bout the toilin bein' put upon me...an so goes life in the big roun'....the night's sweet an all........ Thursday, January 07, 2010 in this process reflected upon the reflection device... remember...why hell I don't think so...just the notion bein' in the implied way was ..well outta this here world...an so's as my mind or what was left there of ,was a flyin' high back inta the memory circuit ta find some sorta recollection a what the hell was on the side a implied here to forth..i took no notice a what was in the rear reflecting device an was ta come ta regret that...it was supposed ta be bob an ol'betty in the flesh an the cohorts that cohort with folk that kind but, I was occupied with the at hand which was lil'slicker a gigglin' an the alien hairdo in the passenger side appearin' ta be chattin it up an referin ta things outta recollection..so's it bein' on the side a to much ta handle I put ol'betty inta a slide bleedin' stop an watched the horror on the face a the lil'one an as I was in this process reflected upon the reflection' device an noticed not one headlamp showin' itself..now ol'bob was right adamant bout' bein' on the tail so's ta speak so's why in the floatin' world, that the almighty put here as a sign post that it was time ta turn on the universal hiway..would ol'bob not be bein' in the rearview...the alien was not in the way of the offer of information,,lil'slicker was still lookin' on the side a horror an well me...i was slide bleedin' to a stop..as ol'betty rested upon the full 18 that god done gave her I was swingin' my door into the open an hangin' on the runnin' board peerin' aft ta see what I could see an the past was blank... I took me a look at the lil'slicker an said” any reason there that ol'bob an such might be decidin' ta take up a different path than the one set forth at that there meetin' a the minds a while back”..her blank stare was enough an I said “well aint we in a mess...” an then that there alien who had done darn near been forgot was ta enter inta my head a thought..”why is there concern?'”..why is there concern was what I heard an I was on the edge a pissed when the alien implied a thought..” here is the destination..” an with that my mind saw the goal an the thought an sight was ta make me smile larger than was in the possible an so with a renewed vigor I jumped back inta the wheel a ol'betty fired her back up an sped off...lil'slicker comin' back ta life say's “where we off to” .... Thursday, December 31, 2009 runnin' ol'betty inta a brick wall at 176 mph...stopped cold comin' awake was quite a surprise..here's the scene...ol'slick lumped over in the blacked out mode...an the lil'slicker in the pasenger seat a chattin' it up with that alien hairdo an ol'betty highballin' down the road with no concern at all..then I come awake. an seein' all that was around me, makin' ol'slick want ta be blacked out once more..but it weren't ta be, an so's I took it in an decided that I would join in the conversation amongst those of kin an those of the alien race...an so's I spoke up ta say..”so...it would appear that no introduction is in the needed column..”...an lil'slicker say's...”why we all been in that way for a spell..thats the way a knowin' the where abouts of the likes a you..” an that sorta stopped me an I said..”the where abouts a me..? an why would that be in the interest a you're head..”an at the same time lil'slicker say's..”cause you're my pa...”, the alien was, in that way comuncatin' the thought that this was the way of it now an lil'slicker was ta be in the life a slick black truck drivin' man..this stopped any thought cold an it stunned my speech..then lil'slicker laughs outloud an say's..”thats right in your life..”..an then the world spun out a control an it hit me like runnin' ol'betty inta a brick wall hightballin' at 176 mph an no brakes at all..stopped cold...an I says..”how did you know that bit a unfortunate news...” an that musta created a chasim in the time fabric that ol'slick seams to slip thru cause the world stopped spinnin...an I looked at lil'slicker an peered at that alien hairdo an with the trepidation a the weak asked..” if you're my kin as you so say..then how is it ya'll know this alien hairdo an how is it so....” an this was to much for lil'slicker an her laugh took off like a horse escapin' the burnin' barn..an then she say's...”'remember that time..... slick's recipe corner... alien hairdo.. lil'slicker.. ol'betty ol'slick... mix togther stir it around a bit bake at 350 for 1 hour.. serve on a platter... Friday, December 18, 2009 there where ever either space time continuum a space ol' slick wants ta take this here moment in time....ta just say over the last few passin's a the moon ..why I been on the side a privileged an pertinear proud a the fact that some folk out there..in there where ever either space time continuum a space..here..have been followin' the trials an tribulations a ol'slick,ol'betty..ol'betty in the flesh an now it would be seemin' lil'slicker as in the well..on an any way I just wanted ta say thanks an well.....i'll just be wishin' ya'll the best a every darn thing that ya'll want..an well...ol'slick is gonna hunker on down with a prepared bag a gerome a tray a alien whiskey an toast ta ya all the best...c ya...Slick Black truck drivin' man... Friday, November 27, 2009 then lil'slicker says right on back howdy an i blacked out... ...an with that, well...i stumbled my way out ta ol'betty..the rig that is ,with lil'slicker in tow an all a them creature types right on behind with ol'Bob at the head with the flesh an blood ol'betty just a danglin' off his arm liken to a cheap braclet.ever one got inta them rigs as they were drivin' an the lil'slicker climbed on in ta ol'betty..the rig.. like she had been at the hand a this for the ever..as I was firin' ol'betty up Bob climbs on the runnin' board an say's..”ya take off that there direction an the road breaks off inta two ways y'all vier off ta the right an we'll be right on behind..” an I looked at bob an said..”right strange with me all in the lead as such..thought you bein the head boss man would let none lead as you may..” an the ire was raised like the stakes in the big poker match up...an Bob just grunts..”just head on out....” an there was another bit a verbiage but the wind swept it off into another story all together..so with ol' betty fired an the lil'slicker in that there passenger seat we was off...the silence in the cab was getting ta be too loud so's I reached on over an clicked the remote an 'patsy' started singing bout walkin' after ...as them words were issuin' forth from 'patsy' the lil'slicker finished just as sweet as can be...i turned me my head that way an the look upon my face was ta be sayin' a lot an the lil'slicker got all red an then burst out..”..why we all can like us some patsy mr.slick...”..an the way it was ,was ta tear at me an then I knew this here was kin an damn...just as I was ta venture upon the path a admittance the oder an color a blue just a started ta become an then as has been the regular a my life in pop's my alien hairdo..whiskey an all...an ta top the top a it..say's in that way they have a sayin..howdy lil'slicker ..an then lil'slicker say's right on back..”howdy” an I blacked out........... Monday, November 16, 2009 i took me some notice a the creatures that had taken up habitat man I was flyin' an so's ya can understand my confusion when I took me some notice a the creatures that had taken up habitat in the roadside roadhouse...some very peculiar folk an in the middle sat ol'Bob with the flesh an blood Betty just a leanin in an appearin ta be whisperin' sweet nothin's ta bob an the little one lookin' on...it was the rest a them that was getting' me..was ta remind me a long ago walkin' in on them criminal types at a stop so long ago..but they weren't them same ones an by the look these creatures had seen them some rough spell's in the livin' a their lives..an Bob..well he sat there like he was the man an so's it appeared ta be so..but Bob weren't keen on the prepared bag a gerome's bein' in the pocket an so's he was expectin' me ta be dumbed down from that special slop the little one had brought..so's I played me some posum an acted in unawares..so's Bob says “how ya'll feelin'..” an I say's “well not of the best I been but..” an he say's “well ya'll ready ta draw this picture ta a close?” an I say's back..”i'm on the road a doubt bout that event ever occurin' the way this here trip has been goin' so far an now that I done seen what I seen... well hell Bob i'd just as soon be at the far end a the fishin' pole at the waterin' pool a life with no bait than be stuck on this hiway with the likes a ya'll ..but bein' that I aint got no control over it..i's guess we best be at the next stop...so what ya'll got in that puny lil' ol' head a yours...” an he say's ..”well slick it aint that I care for the look a ya niether but I'm just as bound by this as ya'll an the sooner it be done the better...ya sure ya'll are alright..??”an so's I ask..”why would that be Bob..was ya expectin' a new scratch upon my face or was ya'll expectin' me ta be droolin' by now..”..an the look on his face carried a price no man could pay...kinda like caught in the act a stealin' from the henhouse by a shotgun totin' farmer..an he say's “why no slick why no...”so's I say...”what's the next step on this here path...” an he say's ..” we got us some distance ta be puttin' unnerneath that rig an all..” an then the flesh an blood Betty get's that there lil'ol' grin an say's..”tell me slick do ya still call her ol'betty???”..an the red colored my face an before my reply could fill the air she say's ..”thought so..” an then Bob say's ..”ya'll have ta follow all a us...” as he glanced about at them creatures..an I thought ah..hell they gonna be there an my bet would be some one a them will be takin' up a seat in ol'betty an the thought irked me ta no end.an as I was bein' in the way a irked Bob say's..”ya'll gonna have ta have you a rider with ya'll ta make sure ya don't get confused an lost...” an he looks at the flesh an blood Betty with a smirk a shotgun coulda wiped easily from that ugly face..an I thought ah swell..won't that be a joyous occasion ta have her back in the passenger seat,an before I could register any comment Bob say's..” I'm thinkin' the lil' slicker will be with ya..” an I done almost fell an the lil'slicker started at laughin' an with that .................. Wednesday, November 11, 2009 outta the corner a my eye i saw the little one an thought hum ....when i figured ol' Bob was gonna lay me flat , that ugly face a his broke a smile an down went the weapon an out came his hand...i meant ta shake it an just as I was gettin' it up ta do that, the little one came back with another whiskey..Bob say's..”ya'll still drinkin' that slop...”..i say's “ya...what be the wrong in it?...he looks across at that little one an say's..”hey lil' slicker go on get us some a that special sauce an be quik..” my face was not all turned toward Bob but when I heard me that there nick name..well it was all I could do an just as it were in the light a my eye,Bob breaks out with that big ol' girly laugh a his an see's the look on my face an laugh's even more..”don't even recognize your own kin there huh slick?”...an i'm thinkin' real hard back ta the flesh an blood betty, an then my inner clock starts ta tick off the time an then it got me red...Betty never did mention the situation...an I knew her leavin' was quik an all but....then she was a right pretty lil' thing an with my looks well buried (it was for her best),but mine...hum...time does shift gears on a soul without the knowin' a time bein on the wane. But like most a my kin..they was unknown ta me until their need ta know me arose...an so I started ta think what the hell was gonna happen next an so's I drank heavily an waited for the ball ta drop...Bob eyein' me like a hunter eyein' his kill an it unnerved me..ta the point a irritation...so turnin ta the matter at hand...which a course had ta do with my alien friend an daisy may an BOB..i asked a ol'Bob “ta what matter is the likes a you involved in this hoodoo truck job...”an Bob say's..” why slick it was me that sought out ya'll as the delivery man a such an important cargo as is with ya'll “...ok ok now i'm getting a lil' on the side a suspicious an mad all about at the same time...an wishin' I could be talkin' at my alien hairdo friend right at the present instead a this roadhouse filled with some ugly skeleton's...an outta the corner a my eye lookin' at the little one an thinkin' hum...maybe..when Betty comes round the corner an purchases her self the corner a Bob's chair an then it was to much an I spurt out..”you two????you two???damn...you two?????” Betty say's back in that snarl so familiar...”what you all in a craw for slick you an me aint been in the ring for a spell now an well Bob here treats me fine...” I say..”fine all fine my best a wishes for the happy couple...” an the toppin'it off the little one comes back with 4 glass's an sit's...then pours an then sit's an then slams down one an say's here's ta ol'slick...damn kids...an just in fashion Betty an Bob slam it down an then ..well hell I was part a the party so's down it goes...then round 2 an then 3 an then 4 an then 5 an so on...till I fall flat on the floor an hear Bob just a laughin...so's I crawled back up excused myself an went in ta the mens room..visited the ta go bag a gerome an popped me some help an by the time I got back.................. Tuesday, November 10, 2009 left him in the hot sun all adyin',other than that i kinda liked him ...with a swagger an non-nonchalant grace came inta my view none than the other woman who once occupied the passenger seat a ol'betty....ol'betty the flesh version....an my mind wandered ..did it ever..an I was wishin' it had wandered ta a different reality all it's own ..but no..there in the front a me starin' with that look that I know ..ol'betty...”so's betty what the hell ya all doin' in this here neck a them woods..?..i thought you was back up yonder an bein' in the way a the lamb...?”...well she stares for a spell then say's “well on no account a you am I ta be standin' at all an the thought damn near freezes me ta look at ya..”..an I had ta say..”now ya'll know it weren't in my hands ta change the state a things an if'n you an mexico bob hadn't a pulled that there maneuverer a yours well things might a been born on the other side an the like...”...”ah hell slick you talk in circles like one a them little doggies at that circus on them lil' ol' bikes..shit you do spin about..”..”now betty ya can't be spoutin' forth such drivel ya'll know where the light shines an where them shadows swallow up the rest an don't be all coy an such..ya took the road a your own accord....now who is the little one? An then where is Bob?”...an that god damn laugh.....”the little one”.. spewin' from them lips a ice.....”ah slick...the little one!!!!!!..”...an just as my ire was bein' raised them doors swung wide with the bravado a some ancient has been western movie star...an in comes Bob....well well well...Mexico Bob...imagine that could ya...an if'n I had the chance, would never had done that...bob an me go back, way back,an if'n I could've, i'd a rang his neck dry an then left him a layin' in the hot sun all a dyin'...other than that I kinda liked him.......so slammin as many whiskeys as a man could in the moments a his life most lightly treaded upon, I looked at bob an couldn't help myselve but ta start laughin' an a laughin'...it ired ol'Bob an he done pull's out a gun..an with that I start me a laughin' even harder an just when.......... Saturday, October 24, 2009 refresh my throat with a liquid beguilement..... now in my truck drivin' career so's ta speak..i have encountered the most bizarre an the most ridiculous a situation's an come thru unscathed..but luck an the practice there of ,aint in the hands a no man ,an rest's like the wind ever blowin' past at a rapid rate an only when ya reach out ta grab it does it just slip away...or somethin' ta that effect..so it was in this waxin' mode that I formulated my approach ta these here headlights a comin' on,an memory flashed back at me the time I done pulled over in a state a wtf..an was handed a thumb an note an well..here i'am again...so's the idea a direct confrontation seemed out an with that the idea sprang forth like a well at spring time ta water down them fields an stoppin it was..at a prime in your face mexican roadhouse or mi'casa' ta me..an in we pulled..an in the road dust came the light's...but ol' betty an me had done stopped an got out an went in an saw the history a the roadhouse in one quick glance...bout 5 ½ tables were scattered about an at 1 was a mean lookin' ol hombre with his hat down an his shot glass raised ta repeat the same night over an over..at another sat some bewildered tourist who missed the right exit an most than likely will never see home in them same eyes again wishin' an a clickin' them heels..the barkeep was pourin' shot's whilst holdin a shotgun across his shoulder..an I tipped quite finely that night..at another sat a mexican version a me an I turned my glance away asap...so's I sauntered on over an grabbed the ½ table an the girl comes on over..an she says “senior el'slick...been long long time....”...”uh ya why it has mam...”(strainin' my brain for recognition an no it weren't there)...”senior slick..you must not recognize that of kin...”..”kin? Why ms. Ya'll have me at a loss...but while I try ta focus upon such a thing is it in the realm a possible ta refresh my throat with a liquid beguilement ..uh..such as a..”..”whiskey” she says..”or would that be of a alien nature to you mr.slick..”...”uh why yes i mean no ..but I do ponder the reason a your familiarity with my name sake..”..well mr slick while you walk down that path I will bring you some of our finest whiskey an then maybe you will be enlightened..”..an I was thinkin' drunk would be better an then as it always does, life smacks ya right upside the head..as it just did when them saloon doors went swingin' open an in walks none other than... Thursday, October 01, 2009 the navigatin' left ta me was memory...an that aint good... now crossin' south a the border..well hell lets face it who ever smuggles anythin' into mexico....an so's the getting' in is the easy life...but getting' back out ...well...it may be costly if'n one is in the way a not wantin' ta draw attention ta oneself an the cargo bein' in the way a delivery...so's when ol'betty an I was comin' on close ,it was in my mind ta be on the unawares bein' that I was goin' in...but as we was decendin' speeds unknown before now ta the earth..it hit liken ta a lead balloon bein in the way a savin' your ass if'n ya neaqded ta fly in escape.....an well...it hit upon my smitten face that we was loaded right prior ta leavin' an it had behoved me ta get the dirt on the load an so's I was in the unawares state that I came ramroddin' into the border crossin'..an doin' a slide bleedin' skid upon said approach was not in the eyesight a hidden an so's this was the effect placed inta the state a mind a the border guards.. truck drivin' man gone wild...so's as them border guards with an exaggerated sense a position done did the ritual hand raisin' in the international sign a STOP..we did..they approached with that look a “i know you all illegal an we are gonna find out how bad...” set firm on the chiseled jaw...an said them ill fated words every truck drivin' man in the international truck drivin' man's local hates ta hear...'”whats in the rig..'or' what ya haulin' in there...” they all expect the worst an well...sometimes they should....so's with nothin' ta do but wing it,i reached down an grabbed the paper work an the said 'bill a laden' pulled it up ta my face...kinda squinted ta draw me some time an looked at that there 'bill a laden' an spoke right off a that 'bill a laden' an said...”tiny toy helicopters...2000 of'em”...now sayin' it don't make it so ..but I was a wishin' ta all hell it be so then an..with a slight twist a the lip the border guard looked at me an kinda chuckled his remark..” a load a toy's huh'”...an I said back 'well ya that's what it say's”...he said open it an I said .....ooooooooookaaaaaaaaaaay...what ever else at hand was not bein' shown an so's with the stagger a the not-so-confident ,i climbed on down an then swaggered my way on back..takin' my time without the look a takin' my time..an why was way beyond as I knew if it weren't so...that bein' the look a toy helicopters reflectin' it's tiny image as we opened them door's..an bein' some other form a contraband an illegals,lookin back at us that ol'slick would be up the river in a sinkin' boat..let alone paddles..so as them doors swung wide what was ta be seen was hundreds a boxes a tiny toy helicopters from 'the tiny toy helicopters are us Co'...an as i looked at the guard his disappointment shown like bad teeth on ms.universe...so's he angrily say's “so where are ya goin' “...an I told him bout the shy town south..an he said “well get the damn thing outta here..hear?”...yes sir I reply an get back in ol'betty fire the girl up an pull on out...the navigatin' left ta me was on memory as we hit the first turn an outta the mind came the run I made with Mexico bob...never again is all I can say...an as that thought was doin a pinball in my head the sight a headlamps a comin ' from behind at a rapid rate was ta take me inta mexico an the dangers there of...with that ol'moon shinin' down an the mexican breeze blowin' it was with my hand on my protection that I saw them headlamps comin' on....
