    I

    In 1955. Box of Tampa Nugget cigars. $5.00 for 50.Starkville, MS to Miami, FL..Round trip, all gone.. Getting $.05 per mile. 21 hours down. Call it a day, half of box gone. At 10 cents a piece, 2 mile per smoke, used 25 going down,, cost me $2.50, or 500 miles? Is that right? Didn't bother me then, rolling miles, making money, enjoying life and all its offerings. Age 20 and bullet proof, didn't care where I went or how long it took. Ah, how times change.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who needs a "sunrise safety nap".

    Usually between 5 and 6 am, I start flagging.

    I kept it to 24 minutes today. I've done an hour and a half before.

    Today I set my timer for 20 minutes, and I woke up feeling good.

    I woke up again 4 minutes later when I dropped my phone on the cab floor.

    Currently offloading in Commie Annex East. Insufficient hours remaining to make good my westbound escape today.

    Could drive as long as you wanted me too, any time, anywhere except. The time between that Orb cracking the horizon until it was full formed. Stop, lay it down. Live to eat another breakfast.

    Just to be fair I also did the same with things like beer and eating in truck stops.

    We have stopped at the new indigenous Love's which is on our side of the highway and saves like an hour compared to getting to the traditional indigenous stops.

    Splash of fuel.

    It appears The Colorado DOT is open for business and has the portable coups open.

    It also appears the NM DOT is open foe business as they have pickups doing roadsides and Raton was full.

    The most elk I've ever seen killed since I've been driving. I mean like moar than in the previous 17 years combined.

    At least a dozen. Between like MM410 and Raton.

    One cow was sitting in the weeds near a fresh one. Dunno if she was hurt, or just hanging near the now deceased family.
