Stopping in Cornudas for a burger is an interesting experience….
This was in a station in the middle of nowhere:

Cornudas doesn’t have a gas station, but it does have a strange little cafe and a bunch of people attached to a vertical family tree.
That sounds like a little town in Kentucky that we once stopped at during a trip from Michigan to Florida. The kids were hungry and I followed a sign that indicated food and gas. Found the gas station, right next to the only food in town. A Burger King of all things. Inside the Burger King, everybody looked the same with some albinism noticeable. We felt more than a little self conscious and kept an ear out for banjos.
 
everybody looked the same

Passing through Baton Rouge once I-10 was buggered up (shocking!) and the GPS took me 190 across the Huey P. Long to get past the delay.

I stopped for gas, went in for a drink and a snack, noticed nobody looked like me and noticed they sold cute little flowers in test tubes at the counter. But then it's like wtf, I'm already here.

I noticed the lady behind the counter eyeballing me in line and when I got to the counter she looked me up and down then said "Is dat your gray truck?"

I says "Yes ma'am, I paid at the pump."

"I know you did. I see you got Texas plates. Dat's why dey not fukin wit you ... dey KNOW you got a gun."
 
Finally, somebody who realizes cardio is important.

Talking to him the whole time he's beating that ass and not even breathing hard.
In a situation like that, seething anger and adrenaline supplant cardio. The fuckhead is lucky the other guy didn't know how to throw a punch or he may not have survived that beating.

We made it all the way through Louisiana, and somewhere mid Mississippi we needed gas. Same thing happened, nobody looked like me. Texas plates on the Tahoe, and I paid at the pump. Moved the Tahoe to a parking spot in front and went inside to pee and get some caffeine. I saw a lineman bucket truck out at the pump and an ole boy (black of course) in line in blue jeans, work boots and a long sleeve Wrangler kaki shirt. I knew he belonged to the bucket truck. I stepped in line behind him. He turned to me a little bit and said "you're a lefty, huh?" I said yessir. He said "what size is it?" I said fourty five.

Evidently my shirt kind of laid over the top of the slide a little bit and I was "printing".

Got back in the Tahoe and my wife asked "everything go OK?". I said, no problems at all.
