The Avengers!

Updated May 25, 2012

I learned today how Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk saved the world from evil Loki and the alien army with which he was in cahoots. Learned by watching The Avengers movie.

Diane and I woke up this morning at the TA truck stop in Zion, Il. We are on an easy run from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin and will deliver tomorrow morning in a Milwaukee suburb. We stopped for a picnic yesterday. For supper last night we stopped at a cool little diner north of Chicago.

There was not much driving to do today. We stopped at a mall near our delivery to pass some time. I went to a movie. Diane went to a bookstore. After sunset we found a parking place in a different retail to spend the night.
