A Truck Story

Laredo, TX, last Summer:
There I was looking for the [Blank, Blank & Blank] "terminal", which was more like a drop lot with a shower, navigating South Texas roads with potholes the size of trucks after dark.
I was busy driving so I never did get to spy a coyote before dark.
There we were and there was a 7 Eleven cup rolling around in the road.
The trainer (the one out of Pittsburgh not the one from Arkansas) perked up.
"Hit the cup!" he blurted. And squash it I did.
"You do a lot of weird things out here to combat the boredom."

But I don't know why a big snowstorm set me thinking of it.

I suppose it's better than aiming for senior citizens.

Aparently it's a big problem for new drivers in Iraq, where loose objects = bomb.
