No phone, no gas, ! and *no water.* There is absolutely *NO WATER* in the next 100 miles of highway. Abort FillUp Ignore The other group, whch I belong to, maintains that people who break down on this stretch of highway and don't even have drinking water with them are too stupid to live, and strengthen our species by removing themselves and their offspring the from the gene pool.
