    My wife just said that was in Lubbock.

    Y'all wouldn't believe how terrible some of the drivers are down here. Rattle trap trucks hauling any freight that'll go in their equally crap trailer

    I got to watch a train derail and pile up towards a whole track crew once. the civil engineer and his rodman were sitting in their surbaban with the ac on looking at the plans, and the rodman noticed everybody running past them, he looked in the mirror and saw the wreckage bearing down on them, so without a word to the engineer, got out and ran. lol
    The engineer looked to see what he was running from and did the same thing .
    I ask why he didn't just drop it in drive and mash the gas, he said he didn't have time. lol
