    I'd say, next to a yellow jacket punching my skin when I set my forearm on arm rest is an anxiety attack. Yes sounds dumb but it happened. It was a very bad time in my life. I couldn't drive due to absolute lack of focus. Hard to explain I guess.

    I threw a thermite grenade out of the truck while it's moving. It was a bad throw and instead of landing into the ditch and burning the vegetation it settled on top of my fuel tank. I quickly gave it a kick off before that delay ran out. The truck I was driving was an explosives truck...

    I remember a particular Cook with a like a tiny converted gas station roughly south west of San Antonio as best we can figure, more over towards West Texas.Z Station would have been either a sinclair or a citgo...

    Consider the Mexican Cook, 22 something, big beefy man tossing food onto a really hot cooking plate similar to what parents used over 50 years. Nice and flat but never really scraped or cleaned beyond what is necessary to run.

    The bathrooms were not code. The doors had feces waist high because people would run into the bathroom with trots coming around to go in ### first.

    The flies this big assaulted the cooking eggs, burritos, flour and everything covering the entire prep and eating area. Mr. Beef would wave his clever and splash flies onto the floor. They flew out the doorway into the 2am night air. Then came back in as soon they understood that it's hot out side. Im listening to my poor Detriot loping at a pretty slower than usual idle due to the heat I just finished running the hills relatively hard. She wasnt doing well and needs a good cooling off, which will take a couple of hours.

    The food Mr Beef produed off that stove coming up on 4 am for breakfast purposes three seperate kinds all cooked well done were A joyful time of eating if only a hour. IF I should have loved a woman like that for that time and never forget in all my life that particular food item etc, it is good the long term memory had recorded the joyful meal despite the being tired. I still had Bilioxi to go along with I think Mobile Bay and a hurricane problem potentially brewing. So things were rather interesting that night.

    What a ####ting place. But OMG the food.

    I don't understand to this day how I did not get sick. I must have had a one hell of a gut back then.
