[QCOM beep, truck idling at Sky City Truck Stop off I-40] Before E-logs and dispatchers didn't tell you to swap log books but it was implied. Wake you up in middle of sleep. Me and my wife, our usual haunt, Sky City off I-40. I sleep a few hours, she plays penny slots that was our system. QCOM message — truck up in St. George Utah needs swap, load to take back south. Shortest route they say — 40 to US 89 up through Bitter Springs into Utah. Get up, find wife in casino. On way out, young Native American girl raising money for college, selling charms. My wife hit good in casino, we give her 50 bucks. Her grandmother having trouble with vehicle, I help get it started, help pack her wares. She gives us extra charm for good luck, says thank you. We hit the road. 40 to 89 north. Bitter Springs. Made it to St. George, turned around, come back down. That's when it started.
