It was either 2005 or 2006 - I'm not certain any more. I'd been living at a drug rehab that was really a Christian Discipleship Ministry in Desoto, Texas - which is just a few miles West of Dallas. What you will find out while in Dallas is that there are so many large towns around and between Dallas and Fort Worth - that it's nearly just one huge city the size of New York City, really.

Anyway, I had been selling cars and trucks forDoug Stanley Ford in Desoto, Texas; and I was damned good at it. I look like some skinny FBI agent in a suite, and I find that I rather like dressing that way when I can find a reason to do so - I'm just good looking, and I get better looking every single day still. I can hardly wait for tomorrow!

But I wanted to be a truck driver, not a car salesman - I wanted to travel, and not have to worry about living in any one spot. I enrolled to go to CDL training school for the largest transportation company in the United States of America - SWIFT Transportation.

I checked into the motel where the Swift trainees stayed, and spied a beautiful young Mexican American girl. Somehow or another I had my swagger going that day - it probably had to do with the few thousand dollars that I had in the bank - would be my guess, but I made some pleasant chit chat with her, never thinking that she'd be going to Swift School too.

I've got news for you - there are pretty women out there driving eighteen wheelers!

The next morning waiting for the bus to school - she asked me if she could sit next to me on the bus, as she was sort of scared of the large group of . . . .rather boisterous potential truck drivers. Do you suppose I told her NO!?

I got kicked out of Swift school the morning of the first day. I learned something about Swift recruiters - they don't give a damn about you moving out of where you live or quitting your job - they are American Capitalist, and they do not care about anything but themselves. That's just what capitalist DO. They fuck you and everyone else over for profit - that is the definition of capitalism. The man never cared that I'd left stability for a shot at something else. He didn't care that I had some silly public intoxication violation within the past five years, and he didn't care that that would get me kicked out of the Swift School in San Antonio - He only cared that he got paid for the number of warm bodies that sign up for the class.

I got a room at the motel all to myself. I rented a sports car. Me and the sexy senorita went on a date, and spent a lot of my money on the River Walk. It's the single greatest place in America to take someone out for a date. Trust me on that one.

Are you looking for a place to take your loved one on a vacation? If you've not been to the gorgeous city of San Antonio, Texas - then you are truly missing out. There's not a finer or more beautiful city in the United States. San Antonio is the San Franciscoof the Southern United States. Once you've got your loved one with you on the River Walk, my friends - you're halfway where you want to be.
