Two bottles would make you have to stand out on the running board with one hand on the wheel and one foot on the gas for a minute, too.

Nah frank, the only time I got out and stood on the running board was after eating barbecue beans at the truck stop. Usually exiting the bunk area to allow the sleeper to air out. I never quite was brave enough to try it at highway speed, while driving. I could never keep the door open into the wind long enough to get out on the running board.
Most truck drivers learn early in their career to drive with their legs crossed for miles and miles, haha.

I was a furniture mover so I had big arms. The wind force is greatly reduced if you drop down to about 45 mph. Unfortunately, there may be unexpected gusts that can cause some blow back.

I love Dunkin Donuts, but sadly, the one closest to me is about a 45 minute drive. Sigh. I'm stuck with Krispy Kreme.

Dunkin Donuts is better than Krispy Kreme! Really! Although, we did just finish a dozen heart shaped Krispy Kreme donuts that were very good. ;-) We don't live far at all from the headquarters.

Dunkin Donuts Blows! I live .1 mile from one and their donuts are terrible. I would kill, well maybe just maim, for a Krispy Kreme in Utica. St least then the donuts won't be trucked in like they are at DD.

Same with DD down this way, terrible. They're baked somewhere on the Moon and trucked in to the stores.... sometime later. I stopped one night about 7pm at the local DD and they had NO Donuts! Well, the kid said they had five. I like Krispy Kreme in So. Carolina, where I buy them when I go, but the KK store in Latham (Albany) was so terrible it closed, so I hear.

Alright. The Dunkin Donuts in Clinton is WONDERFUL! The Krispy Kreme on Battleground in Greensboro is, likewise, very good. DD has better coffee, though.

It's hard to beat the donuts at Holland Farms. Of course, I'm in donut recovery now and unable to give any current testimony on the topic.

Holland Farms has THE BEST halfmoons, period. I have no idea how Hemstroughs became known for halfmoons where Holland Farms is so much better at making them.
