Left Terrell, Texas very early this morning.  Drove in fog and misty rain all morning.  Then light rain for the rest of the day.  Came around a foggy corner on I-20 about 10 miles west of Jackson, Mississippi and saw a semi trailer on the right shoulder fully engulfed in flames.  Fortunately the driver was able to separate the truck from the trailer before the fire got to his truck.  As I passed it one of the trailer tires popped.  Was pretty neat!!   No emergency vehicles were there yet.  Glad I went passed it before they got there and closed the interstate.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Marianna, Florida.  Will be starting very early in the morning again.
