Howdy folks, Buck Hensley here with a friendly reminder that your conscious self and soul is all just an illusion, and that the universe is just a bunch of individual parts of the same whole with everything trying to differentiate itself from the faceless, egoless black mass. Won’t you join me in turning back to the solidarity?

You won’t? Doesn’t sound too appealing, does it? I get that. Well, at the very least can you join me in offering a salute? Us here at “The Rules of the Road” have a fondness for travelers and drifters. And who better exemplifies that spirit of the open road than the lonely truck driver, miles underneath his rubber and many more miles to burn?

Won’t you join me in offering a salute to those long-haul heroes of the highway, the hardworking mother truckers who miss their husbands or wives and kids and girlfriends? Don’t you know these assassins of the asphalt have been on the road for so, so long? They’re awful tired. The least we can do is give them the proper salute. And just how might we do that, you might ask? Well, I’ll tell ya…

If at any point during your journey, you make eye contact with one of these proud denizens of the diesel, these sailors of the street, then you must hold up your arm, cock it at the elbow and pump your fist vigorously. In turn, this buccaneer of the boulevard will acknowledge you with a loud (but friendly) blast of his or her horn. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? What better way to let our little trucker friends know we’re thinking of them. Think of it as a “thank you for your service” for these tramps of the turnpike (and baby these tramps were born to run.)

Now I know what you’re gonna say. You’re gonna say, “Bucky, I don’t like to look over at the other drivers when I pass them. Every time I glance over, they look at me, and I fear they’re gonna suck my soul out through my eyeballs. Don’t you know the eyes are the window to the soul? So how am I gonna know to look over at a vehicle when I pass?” And to that I say, “Fair enough, but in this instance, you want to make eye contact with the driver. If they don’t see you, then you’re off the hook!”

What happens if you don’t follow this rule? Well, you may find that something will rain down from the sky, creating an unfortunate situation for your party. That’s all I can say on that. I don’t know what will rain down. It varies depending on just when and where you are.

Welp. Looks like it’s getting a little late for me. Stay safe. Stay sane. Stay lively. Stay lonely. I’m Buck Hensley and these are “The Rules of the Road …”
