Deja Vu And Fireflies

I spent today traveling down the exact same freeway I traveled down yesterday, only in the opposite direction. So, I experienced a lot of deja vu today. Kept having that eerie feeling I've been here before.

I couldn't ask for an easier day today. The load I received in yesterday's swap doesn't deliver until Tuesday morning and I only had 675 miles on this run to begin with. That could be done in one day, let alone two and a half. So I'm driving slow and limiting how many hours I use in case I get one of those "pick up tomorrow and has to be there yesterday" runs. Alway a good idea to have a couple of extra hours on the ole log book just in case.

One of the things I like about my job is all the things I get to see, but a little variety wouldn't hurt. I did see a rather nice sun set and moon tonight though. Something I missed being locked up in the windowless radiology department of a hospital.



I'm stopped in a rest area and while walking back from the restrooms, I noticed all these little flourescent green glowing balls of light hovering around the tree line at the edge of the parking area.


Fireflies! I don't know why these little guys facinate me, but they do. So I'm always excited when they come out and let me watch them play. I had a hard time getting them to pose for the photo, so I had to use a timed exposure to actually catch one of them in the act. Click on the pic for a better / bigger view.
