My little "The Tide is Turning" story.

I'm headed home to Los Angeles with way too much time to do it, so I finally stopped for a long over due truck wash at the giant I-80 Truck Stop in Walcott Iowa.

As I worked my way up to the washbay, a couple of the workers were eyeballing both the mess (I hadn't washed my rig in 4 months), but also my Putin/Trump sticker.



For scale:


I saw one of them finger the bottom of the vinyl sticker, say something to his co-worker, and then they both laughed. As I told them what I wanted done I made sure to tell the guy to not blowoff my stickers, and he laughed and said yeah.

I pulled in and another guy, big, goateed, tatted up, you know the type, asked me if I wanted that (he pointed to the sticker in question) washed off, and I pointed to one of my military awards I have on my cab and asked him, " Do you see this one? I was operations intelligence in the Navy, and if I had a single Russian contact that I mislead my command about I would had have been stripped of my secret clearance, rank, and dishonorably discharged."

I then exited my truck to pay for my wash and as I was getting back into my truck the same guy said "Yeah your right, he's an idiot, what I should have asked you was where can I get one".
I told him..
