    There is lots of nikola cabovers roaming around PHX lately. Got my doors blown off by what looked like concrete counter weights on a flatbed. Between them and the waymo robot trucks . PHX will be doomed in a couple years time

    Guys don't go to bed yet.

    We're stuck here until Friday and not ready for rhinoceros sleep yet.

    Well I guess maybe The OM is.

    In all the time I've been driving never had a rock rub a hole in a tire, let alone our favorite best wearing steer tires.

    We are emotionally and psychologically devastated.

    We are going to attempt to find a way forward. Starting with BACON and coffee.

    After a mondo rhinoceros sleep, it's time to get dressed, coffee up, and head out.

    While waiting for my pretrip clock to run out, I share this anecdote from yesterday.

    I'm in Tennessee on I-40, at one of the Love's that has a Subway, I forget which one.

    They build my sandwich, then at the end ask if I want chips or cookies.

    Now, I'm a huge fan of the raspberry cheesecake cookies, but I try not to get them EVERY TIME, because I don't want to be a "huge-er" fan.

    "Aaaah....maybe thr- no, ONE, of the raspberry cheesecake cookies.

    The lady says, "How 'bout a dozen? I can sell ya a box. Only $5.99. Whaddya say?"

    She's already folding the box together. I think this is a psychological sales trick I read about somewhere.

    "Welllll......" I say.....

    She interrupts with, "Look, you're on I-40, there's gonna be a traffic jam, and you're gonna need a snack!"

    (Chapter Three: Overcoming Objections)


    Thus, I left the store with a dozen raspberry cheesecake cookies......

    I still have four left.
