Icepick chipping at the bone above my eye. Shades closed tight on a sunny day. Towel over face. Wet washclosh over eyes. Desperate to throw up so the nauseau will go away. Silverware clinking in the apartment next door. Fork tines stabbed into eardrum. And the trains, squealing into Union Station. I dread and dread and dread the noise.
Migraines. I am finally recovering and longing to write.
ps: thanks to everyone for the kind and enthusiastic words about my publishing. I cannot wait to catch up on all your blogs ...

This is concerning the Tammy Zywicki case. I wrote a letter to SA Tim Ely of the FBI a few months ago. I don't know if he got it or not because I did not put a return address on the letter as I did not want to be involved. One part of it concerned a semi I saw back in late February. I only saw it drive past so I was not able to provide alot of info. I wrote I would not write them again unless I had factual information.
Ironically, about a week ago I saw the truck again and because I was on the same road, I was able to get more detailed info. So here is the info that I was hoping you could pass along to whoever you think is proper.
The first time I saw the semi it was pulling an Xtra trailer. This time it was pulling a TIP trailer with the "TIP" logo on the upper left hand side of the trailer closest part to the tractor.
The flaps on the back of the trailer read "STAPUT" vertically. Also, TIPZ220216 was written vertically on the back of the trailer on the door. The trailer had Tennesse plates, X83763 and was white except for the TIP logo. There were no stripes on the trailer.
The description of the tractor(the driver part) is as follows: First, the description of the tractor I wrote to the FBI was wrong. It did not have three stripes, only two. The stripes are brown and dark orange or two dark orange, it is hard to remember. I know there are only two. I should have rememberd the color more closely. This is only on the tractor that has the stripes. The tractor was an ABF tractor as it had a rectangular box across the door with ABF written on it. Right below the ABF is the USDOT # 082866. The brown and orange(or both dark orange) stripes extend from the top right of the tractor diagonally down to the ABF logo on the door. The stripes do not go past the logo though. So it fits the Zywicki truck description closely but by only half.
I looked back to see what kind of tractor it was but the metal piece that is usually at the nose of the tractor to identify whether it is GMC, Peterbuilt, etc. was missing. Only the outline of the metal piece was there. ALso, a number written vertically on the side of the tractor was 16872. At first I thought the tractor may have had a sleeper but then I realized all it has are wings that extend from it making it look like it has a sleeper when it does not. I saw this semi on U.S. 30 in Scheriville, IN. at about 6:35 am on Saturday, May 15, 2004 and was near it until it got onto I-65 heading south at 6:50. The license plate number of the tractor is Oklahoma plate 2cg 597.
If you could send this info along to whoever you think is proper, it would be appreciated. I really do not want to be involved. Thank you...Bob
P.S. Bob is obviously a false name as is the email...bye
