Truckers shmuckers

Did everyone else know there is this big trucker's strike going on right now? Genius over here did not realize that. Blonde moment I guess (one of many). We are getting a new fence built in our backyard and I have been getting annoyed that the fence builder people took the time to rip down the entire old one but have, literally, only put up like eight spokes (?) of the new one. They did that like almost a week ago. So we basically haven't had a fence for a week and its not fun to deal with when you have three big dogs. Anyway, I found myself wondering where the fence builder people were because they need to finish and add to their eight spokes... I assumed they were being lazy and nondiligent (is that a word? oh well its redundant anyway). But then I come to find out that they don't have any new wood spokes because of the trucker's strike (gasp!) and won't have any until its over. Excuse me? Who would ever have imagined I would care the status of a nationwide trucker's strike... but I do! Its almost... almost... as bad as the Writer's Guild of America Strike of '07-'08. Then again, that's just entertainment isn't it? Hmmm... priorities....
