    I did an all night cross country drive once, got about three hours sleep in a recliner, and went for a walk with my friend so she could have a smoke. We were so tired. The night before that drive I’d spent a few hours sleeping on the floor of some place. Was a weird part of my life.

    We had just crossed at a busy intersection and were also by a gas station. A huge pickup truck came flying right by us to smash into a concrete planter. Passed by about 2m (6ft) away. The woman in the cab was holding her flip phone to her ear (long time ago) and staring straight ahead. We turned and saw another vehicle just crumpled in the intersection. We just kept right on walking (there were tons of people around to render assistance and we were so tired I think we both were delerious and thought we were hallucinating)
