    Well, shit...

    Sitting alongside I-805 in a broken-down Ryder truck, the 28-foot refrigerated van we use at work. But...I can see Mexico from here!

    Well that sucks. At least it's not your personal vehicle though.

    Yeah, it could be worse. I am on the clock and I can see the beautiful hills of Tijuana—I'm less than five miles from the US-Mexico border. Kind of surprised that the pínche Migra haven't stopped to check us out yet, in fact.

    Those hills in the distance are in Mexico.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I used to wrench on the Ryder one way trucks, they were painted yellow. The white ones were for commercial use.

    Any nice conversations with the U.S. Border Patrol checking you out to see if you might have any illegals on board Carl?
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    They may deport him back to Sicily.

    Sorry to see you broke down, and at least hope the weather is decent. If nothing else, you can always climb in the back to cool off and have a snack. When is the cavalry supposed to arrive?
    A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory

    The only conversation this Carl has had with the Border Patrol at that border was "Have you committed any crimes in Mexico other than than one we just witnessed?". It was around 2 am and we were so drunk we couldn't figure out how to get across that foot bridge thing to cross the freeway to get back. So we jumped the fence and ran across the freeway to the check station. Every in it saw us do it. There's a lot more to that story for another time but they did let us through about 10 feet in front of TJ cops or Federales or someone screaming "HALTO! HALTO!...."
