We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember ginge
saying something like:

Beg to disagree. Ive found myself losing concentration after a
normal 7 hour day plus a 1.5hr commute at either end.

Hes talking about doing that trip to Scotland we did, daily. IMO
thats too much. In fact, given the amount of trucks I see wander
into the hard-shoulder, it looks like its too much for a lot of them.
