    Hell on earth

    Yesterday my wife and I had to go to Texarkana which is a city of 75,000 surrounded by interstate on every side. Apparently I 30 and I 49 is the hub of all traffic in the south. I'm light sensitive and stick to state highways in the dark. There is approximately 97,000,000,003 reflectors on the 30 mile stretch of interstate we traveled not to mention 900 thousand signs and the entire population of India headed somewhere. It was like being trapped inside a giant disco ball. I was totally and completely disoriented. Fortunately I had the forethought to let my wife drive.

    Which brings me to this point: to me, hell on earth would be driving a loaded log truck on the interstate at night. I'd rather live in a van down by the river

    How about you? What job would be your personal hell?

    That's called having your head up 'your' ass! I assume he has a flashlight in there with him.

    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
