Okay. I've seen this stuff all over SE Asia. The name really turned me off. I think it was the "sweat" part. I never did know what it was. So, one day I asked. "It's like Gatorade." someone told me. I tried one. I'm sticking with Gatorade.
This blog is about my travels. I am a Truck Driver and I drive a Big Rig all over America. But, only for part of the year. The rest of the year I try to get out of the United States and see some of the world's greatest sights. The links below show some photosets from my travels.

My grandparents were born in the Indian Territory/Oklahoma. My parents were born in Oklahoma, as was I, my wife, my children and my grandchildren.
I was an irresponsbile teenager (it was the 60's, what can I say?) but managed to mature a little. I attend the University of Oklahoma and got a BA in History and went to work for a Fortune 500 company where I was unhappy. Eventually, I went back to OU for my MBA and PhD in MIS (ABD). I became a contract programmer because I programmed much better than I published. I also became a VAR for a firm selling accounting software written in a comupter language called dBase for the 8088 processor. I stayed at it and in the first years of the new millenium I decided I needed a change. I figured that if I was ever going to to do all those things I said that I wanted to do, I'd better get going.
In 2005 I sold my house and business and went to truck driving school. I now drive a Big Rig - mine - and I try not to work more than 6 months a year. I make an effort to spend at least 3 months a year outside of the U.S. I'm married. My wife and I have 6 kids and 9 grandchildren. Maybe that's why I like to travel so much.
