Have a small bite to eat before you show up or the consequences of the barrel tasting will be magnified.

... out of the way I&#8217;m coming through&#8217; rather than &#8216;OK so you funked up so why don&#8217;t you go ahead and move on over.&#8217; There is just no way for drivers here to let you know you can cut over so you are left with the only other option. Floor the throttle and hope that the surprisingly large and unsurprisingly gutless engine will get you over before you end up as scrap metal.

I stop at the A&W, call a flat bed towie, I Jsut can't let her fall apart on me totally. She got me 1600 miles with a few problems sure, but nothing major, and all fixable. So I decide she needs a rest. I get into Calgary and we get her offloaded. I'm more ready for a nap than I've ever been. Well that's my story of One Helluva Road Trip.

... in the middle of them suddenly got up and went to 'my' hub. I guess we started chatting and he said that he got up finally because the girl started spilling her milk on him and on his computer! The stewardess did tell him that he could move and he was in debate. I actually helped him in that regard and told him that he should defiantly move (we actually had 5 more hours to go).
