Truck Stop--Bucket list check!

If you ever go looking for your hearts desire, you need not look further than Lower Bibb County.
I stopped at the Sardis Road truck stop yesterday afternoon.
They have EVERYTHING there!
It's amazing.
Camouflage coats for winter, T shirts, shirts with the sleeves cut off--a quick glance around thus store and one can see that the clientele are a lot burlier than I am. They have hams for arms and no sleeve shirts probably have functionality. For someone like myself to go sleeveless would require a mullet haircut and an addiction to meth.
Regardless, this place is a complete outfitter as well as having other gear to improve ones swag. Harley Davidson logo ear buds, big screen TVs, state of Georgia souvenirs that include a shot glass with a skull on it that has GA on the forehead. There was an entire wall devoted to electronic device chargers and cords, and of course if all you required was a Mountain Dew and a Slim Jim, they have that, too. They have roller food, and a trifecta chicken pizza sandwich place--all under one roof!
It's amazing.
How anyone could come in here just to grab a Slim Jim and drink is beyond me. Behind the glass cases there was a big selection of GPS'es and knives.
It is total sensory overload.
It is amazing.
The only things I didn't see were slot machines and live bait, but lest I kept wandering around, I would surely have found those.
People-- by people I mean the truck drivers mostly, even sign up to take showers here. No need to worry about showering in someone else's leftovers, because you can buy some flip flops to keep from getting truck driver fungus. They are located next to the shirts with the cut out sleeves. Available in two colors, black and camouflage.
It's insane. It was a bucket list check for someone that has no bucket list. I almost peed a little.
I tarried not, because my pizza was ready and I had to scoot home to Wifey and Satch.
But Ive got news for you--those folks have it going on in lower Bibb.
In a word, it's amazing.
