Back in Peavineland

I'm back in Peavine for a few weeks before I move to China. It's a long drive from DC but at least I made the wise choice of taking the "southern route" to avoid a winter storm in the Midwest. As soon as I crossed the border into Peavineland a kind man in a huge pickup truck came up to me to point out that I had a low tire. Then he taught me something I'd never have realized on my own. Instead of paying for the air pump in front of the truck stop/restaurant there's free air at the diesel pumps the truck drivers use. This is the kind of wisdom you can't get from books.
