oh no, no keys in the ignition again! to be continued

I am too late to get biodiesel outside of Tucson, even if it is open on Sunday. The Phoenix biodiesel is closed Sundays - tears.

I drive from sun down until I cross the New Mexico border and stop at the last rest stop in New Mexico. I love the New Mexico rest stops - they always have privacy with long loops, often far removed from the highway, and spaced individual picnic areas. Sometimes they have interesting trails for exploring the nearby terrain.

I do not want to sleep long while the sun is gone so I have set the alarm to allow me 2 hours rest. I awake 4 a.m. feeling refreshed and ready to beat the heat into Texas and my next delivery. Plus I want to jog a little before driving, just to make sure I'm totally awake and not just dreaming. And I'm on an exercising roll!

I jump out the truck observing the few cars and trucks resting there. As I begin to quietly close the door I instantly realize I've left my keys - and now locked my keys - inside.
