    When you don't know if that's sunrise or sunset, you've driven far enough. We used to tell ourselves stuff. like on my way to from Spokane to Taylorsville IN, as I was going thru Des Moines I would tell myself keep going almost there, Pull over correct the Comicbook to look like I had enough hours left and take off. I'm glad I lived thru it, and thank you I did take anyone out in the process. Produce Haulers used to encourage this, with stupid sayings like fresh 70 in a new logbook......
