    If you get that blue stuff in Albuquerque you can drive out your 70 in one shift.

    It's incredibly destructive.

    Here is a sequence of photos captured by CBS Newes the owner and proceeded to crush the affected humans. The damage done to female is even sort of angering. However we have no one to blame other than ourselves for that truly filthy habit.

    FDR actually had Cocaine applied to his nose to shrink the blood vessels that were a problem one particularly frosty day. Something to do with the sinuses. Im not exact clear on the mecahnzism but the doctor was.

    Fast forward to the hourse farm one winter. We had that special south wind which carried trouble on the wing of a owl with a little blood pending.

    20 years ago meth was common. Nowadays it's not so common. I only know one driver that still uses it.

    Yes..
    It is very common and the norm for all 3.5 million truck drivers in the U.S.
    We are all given prescription meth at the time of our physicals.

    Except for the few that only drink liquor while driving.
