Damn. Do you get breaks? I need to stretch my legs every few hours.

Yeah, it stopped for gas, food, etc. We made even more since some tweaker just absolutely destroyed the on-board toilet within the first hour of the trip. And I mean destroyed. Not just a huge gross mess; they FUCKED that toilet up, like with a sledgehammer. IDK how they did it, but it was FUBAR.

We had a stop in, I think, Oaklahoma and it was so fucking flat it was like being between europe and the us in the ocean again. All us smokers had to form a wall to block the wind just to light up as even a windproof lighter was no match for this wind 🤣

Also made me sad hearing someone describe the smallest apple I had ever seen as the largest they had ever seen when we stopped at a McDonald's just outside of New York.
