Not sure you can get the full effect here but this bag of chips at
4500' elevation at Fort H is about to come apart at the seams.
Ok time for old guy war story about us taking things like this up with
us when we did high altitude freefall jumps at 30,000ft+. We would
have a pool as to when they would burst. Needless to say the air crew
was not coming out of the plane to catch us after we made a mess in
their plane with chips, soda, beer, cans of nuts, etc.
(wow I can't believe I just wrote that....must be from hanging out near all
the retired snowbirds here at the rv park)
OK so I have been traveling for 9 days now without incident.  I get off the interstate for the final leg of the trip on the road that goes to Fort Huachuca.  At the end of ramp is 4 way stop.  I stop, it is clear and then start through to turn left.  Here comes this car blowing through the stop sign.  I slam on brakes, electric brakes on trailer make this awful squealing noise and then I clean Rich off the dashboard.  I look at car and it is a woman driving a car with at license plate from..........drum roll.............YES YOU GUESSED IT (I cant say it was a Masshole since Jen doesnt believe in my conspiracy theory).  After saying the appropriate comment about "those" people I drive on.  

Not more than 1/2 mile down the road there are 3 Border Patrol cars and agents out on road with stopped truck.  On the hood of one of the cars are two latino (On a wild hunch I will say Mexican) looking gentlemen in cuffs.  They are watching the other BP agents ripping the quarter panels off their truck with large bales of some sort of drug (I am going out on a limb here) fall out onto the ground.......

Welcome to our new HOME..........

OK AT&T you are about to lose a customer. No freaking 3G here at Fort
H. But in the middle of NM where the closes town is 50-80 miles in any
direction I got 5 bar 3G. WTF. Verizon here I come.
Woohoo Fort Huachuca AZ
You know going across country you see a lot of stickers and sayings on
the back of RVs. Like "if this rv is rockin, don't come a knockin" or
"spending my kids inheritance.".
But this has to be the strangest. Was not a sticker but they paid
good money to have it painted on the back.
It says " and his bride has made herself ready". From REV.
WTF. They were in gAs station with me. Looked like normal 60
something couple. Then they passed me doing 80 and then I caught up
with them. They were on the side of the road in middle of nowhere.
Guess she was READY! Then they passed me again doing 80. Guess he wants to get to the next spot where she will be ready again.
I feel like Kat and her strange person stories.

OK here is the kicker to the story.....guess where they were from......drum roll ......NOOOOO not Massholes but were WASHINGTONIANS...
