Happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovers, non-lovers, believers and haters!! As I continue this journey of being a trucker’s wife, I learn something new every day and Valentine’s Day, or Love Day as I like to call it, is no exception. On this day every year, millions are spent on flowers, chocolates, jewelry, teddy bears, and many more items that most people ignore throughout the rest of the year. This is also a very popular day for sex workers, who peruse the streets offering their services to the “less love fortunate”. There is a very distinct name for this type around the truck stop, the Lot Lizard. For those of you who don’t know, a Lot Lizard is a lady (or gentleman) who roams the truck stops at night “crawling” from truck to truck soliciting for money for sexual acts, drugs, or both. Lot lizards will make themselves known by knocking on the door or window of a truck and offering their services to the driver who happens to open the door or roll down the window. Now as funny as this may sound, please know, this is a real thing! And not only is it real, it’s dangerous on so many levels. A lot of the women are diseased, on drugs, and will steal anything that is not tied down if they are let into the truck…and let’s not forget to mention it’s illegal! So ladies and gentlemen as you celebrate your loved one on this national love day, make sure that you are not only going all out on Valentine’s Day but you are also giving them all of the love and attention they deserve EVERYDAY so as not to fall prey to the “Lot Lizard”…..because Lot Lizards need love too….just not from my trucker!!
