In Security by Bea R. for June 04, 2021

Well Gabby it’s not fair to compare her to you.

I had a feeling something like this was gonna happen, but I thought it would end with Sedine taking some trucker’s speed, I’m actually kind of glad drug-use was avoided on-screen.

how can Gabby even see over the steering wheel?!

I wonder what’s more dangerous… A drowsy Sedine or a nervous Charlene driving?

Construction zone ahead.

“…one day I looked into the rear view mirror / and comin’ up from behind / it was a Georgia state policeman / and a hundred dollar fine. / He looked me in the eye as he was writin’ me up / he said, ‘Driver, you’ve been blind! / Ninety-five was the route you were on, it was not the speed limit sign!’ "

I woulda thought a Bean Can was a tanker fulla gas.

NOT the smartest thing to do!

So, this whole trip young Miss Gabby has not been strapped in a car seat, and has been free floating in Mom’s arms – and NOW she’s a Dash Ornament.

I hope Charlene can keep it steady.

Nobody wants to see little Gabby hurt. Although Momma was quite agressive with her hold on Gabby.

i.e. look at Panel 3 from yesterday, Sedine, “Oh My Gargle!” Charlene tightly hugs Gabby….Gabbys pink little tongue pops out like the indicator pin in a Butterball Turkey.

would had love to see Gabby drive a bit.

And remember the rig takes about 4 times longer to stop!

Ah, fantasy is so much fun!

So illegal. Sedine waited longer than usual to initiate chaos.

How did she reach the pedals?

Just get behind another rig and engage the dynamic cruise control.

Ah, reminds me of my days in the photography studio. Whenever my boss needed to leave for something, I was there on my own. That’s when he would say, “Whatever you do, don’t fire anybody.”

Good times… good times…

Would you look at what the excitement is doing to Charlene’s hair… And is she drooling?

And here comes the Weird Al song again…

Her diesel rig is northward bound.// She’s trying to put that hammer down// Just watching as the miles go flying by.// She’s riding twenty tons of steel,// but it’s sure hard to hold the wheel// While she’s still waiting for her nails to dry.

Oh, she’s always gotta check her lipstick in that rear-view mirror// And her pink Angora sweater fits so tight.// She’s jamming gears and haulin’ freight,// But she sure hopes her seams are straight.// Lord, don’t let her mascara run tonight.

Because she’s driving a truck// Driving a big ol’ truck// Smokey’s on her tail and her accelerator’s stuck.// Got these 18 wheels a-rollin’ until the break of dawn.// Driving a truck with her high heels on…

(For full version, see May 31, 2021.)

So, all she has to do is keep the rig in a straight line. Seems simple enough… Lord willing.

Let us pray…

Is it wrong to hope that while Charlene has the wheel, she has an encounter with The Pork Chop Express?

As long as you are going straight on the expressway, easy peasy.

That is said to be the very first application for no driver operation – big rigs on the expressway. They either pull over to the side of the road when they get there, or perhaps have a parking lot VERY nearby.

Not sure if local governments will like the “pull over to side of expressway” part.
