Mike, you're right about being prepared for "anything". We had stopped at a rest area one night. This rest area was split - truckers on one side and everyone else on the other, with an entrance to the building on each side. Every time we pull into one of these places, seems we always have one eye open...maybe 1 1/2. *lol* Anyway, this was a particularly entertaining location. There was this woman kept going from truck to truck, and she didn't need a suitcase to display her wares! Then there were some folks that kept wanting to go out into the bushes for some reason. Wife couldn't figure it out, but seemed every time there was "stuff" being lit up. Weather and temp were great, no wind, so no need to take shelter from anything, except prying eyes!
But it's the last entertainment act that had us on the edge of our seats. Some guy showed up, we "think" looking for the lady who was going from truck to truck. Now, in all honesty, maybe she was just trying to escape a maniac, but she sure did have a free-spirit way of doing it! Anyway, this man shows up after most folks were asleep and started doing his own vehicle-to-vehicle search! He started heading our way and, being fully loaded with the trailer jack taking weight off the truck, we couldn't just up & go. He got within 20 yards before something caught his attention and he went back to the semi's. We took that chance to get back on the road -- just didn't seem to be tired anymore.
Next time through the area, we heard there had been a shooting at a rest area. Didn't know if it was that one or that specific night, but was in the general area.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
