It’s true: Planes and Walmart trucks

Here is one for the “for what its worth file." I’ve found two truths to hold up almost all of the time.

Look up. No matter what time of the day you look into the sky you will see a plane or evidence of one. It’s uncanny, but true. It might have a lot to do with the fact that we live near Dover Air Force Base, four major airports and dozens of smaller ones, including the Sussex County Airport. According to the experts, there are about 4,000 planes in the sky at any given time.

Look out. I guarantee if you travel on any major road for more than one-half hour you will see a Walmart tractor-trailer. Considering the number one retailer in the world has 4,300 stores in the United States, it’s no wonder company trucks are on the road 24-7.
