I’ve never been that far to the south but lately I’ve been reading and watching those novels and movies.
The prevalent idea is: in this world (Texas?) you are alone, nobody gives a cr*p about you, do not trust anyone because they’ll take advantage of you, ridicule and mock you. The world (or maybe only Texas?) is an inhospitable, inhuman, Darwinist place.
I heard you can drive for over 40 hours in Texas and still be in Texas. My mind can’t comprehend this.
You’d have to be driving very slowly, or not in a straight line. Coast-to-coast in Canada is like 60.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration. I suppose, if you went in a circle or got stuck in traffic, but at an avg of 50mph 40 hours would be 2000 miles. Texas isn’t that large. It could take about 20 hours to get across though.
“Heck, I had a truck like that once.”
Oh shoot I thought were over this
You can drive for 40 hours in Rhode Island and still be in Rhode Island. But if you’re going in a straight line, 12 hours seems to be the longest route across Texas.
800 miles
