this place seems more dangerous every day; and more excellent thai driving by the trucker

too bad all the vehicles were not mini vans packed full of mini van drivers.

Didn't realise he had brought down power poles. And they let these so called drivers on the road. As the line from When Harry met Sally goes I'll have what she's having ( I'll have what he's on )
