Got through the first couple of pages. Shame that it's just journaled; it'd make a good e-book if removed the tardlicious emoticons.

Only read the first two pages... but LOL!
As I've watched those crazy vac trucks whipping around parking lots at night - I always knew they must be having fun

The vacuum truck drivers I use to pump out and rinse underground storage tanks are all flat crazy. I think it's from breathing too much gasoline vapors.

The City of Los Angeles had a street sweeper stolen. It turned up repainted in the City of Aurora, Colorado street sweeper fleet. LA retrieved it. The same street sweeper was stolen again. Again it turned up repainted in the City of Aurora street sweeper fleet.

It took up a lot of my work day, but an awesome read... didn't expect the emotional twists or (possibly unintended) life lessons at the end. the last half was definitely the best part.

thanks for posting the link!

I personally think the incident with the sweeper on fire down the highway at 105mph was my personal fav. I cried from laughing so hard.
