The medical term is Cranial-Rectal Inversion.
A sphincter spasm could choke her to death.

When I had stripes on my sleeve, I allus heard it called anal-cranial inversion. Or we’d offer the person a raffle ticket (to get a tractor to …). We’d also suggest somebody needed a chrystalectomy. Thats an operation to replace the skin of the abdomen with plate glass so the afflicted can see where they’re going.

The resultant condition is known as visurectalysis; the victim suffers from a shitty outlook.
I know a place she could go to find herself, the military, it would take about the first 10 seconds of boot camp to get her attitude adjusted.

Sorry, JSS, UW, but I saw it time and time again while on active duty. I have no idea WHY they enlisted but boot camp – USAF boot camp – failed utterly to sufficiently adjust that sort’s attitude. Perhaps MCRD or P.I. could do it but I doubt it. Especially these days.
Nope, folks, I don’t believe 10 YEARS of boot camp – MARINE boot camp back in the 60s & 70s – could do it. You may not know it, but they have found structural differences between the brains of libs and conservatives. Whether they are the cause or the result of basic world-view differences is unknown but the difference is visible on MRI scans.
I give a pass to Skye for a lot of her misguidedness, figuring her naivety has allowed various and sundry commies and charismatics to make her believe in unicorn farts and free lunches. And of course there’s that mesmerizing upside down spread-eagle (damn you Chris). But.
Any mother who puts herself before her children should just be killed.
When is someone going to give Skye a kick in the seat of her self-centered pants?
And what is that (Kenworth? Mack? Peterbilt?) doing up ahead there? Inquiring minds want to know what it’s hauling!

“what is that [18-wheeler] doing up ahead there? Inquiring minds want to know what it’s hauling!”
Could be most anything, Delilah. Nothing – necessarily – suspicious about a semi on a state highway. They’re likely on a state highway and I normally travel on the interstate but I’ve driven through that part of the state numerous times. Eighteen-wheelers are often more numerous than automobiles. But my Dad was a trucker and he said almost everything spends at least part of its journey in a semi-trailer.

After her abuse at the hands of her German boyfriend I’m convinced that such therapy would have no effect. If anything we might hear her ask for more.
A few years ago, at my sister’s funeral, her old school friend started a conversation with me. She said she had been married, but left her husband of 40 years to find herself. I realize that I am an old grump, but have been married to the same girl for 50 years. I patiently explained to her that philosophers through the ages have avered that to find yourself, you must look inward. She was rather insulted. That ain’t bad coming from an old grumpy engineer.

Heltau, you missed it.
“She said she had been married, but left her husband of 40 years to find herself.”
The key phrase is “husband of 40 years” meaning she had been married for FOUR DECADES when she up and went off “in search of herself”. Assuming she married around the age of twenty, that means the ditz was roughly SIXTY when she ran off to chase moonbeams and sniff unicorn shit.
OCB, I might have added that if she hadn’t “found herself” by age 60 then she was damned unlikely to do so now.

Werner says to get your head out of your fourth point of contact, already.
Thank you rickn8or You saved me the trouble of doing that myself. I saw that US Hwy 67 is nearby. When they built 67 they cut right through the middle of my families homestead in Missouri. I grew up to the sound of tractor trailers downshifting on the hills and the occasional car wreck. That and fixing fences when cars would run off the road.
I tell ya, I would have to need need a Halloween costume mighty bad to drive three hours to a CVS in Odessa…no wonder they’ve been on the road for three days. 😉

That part of Texas used to be my territory when I was first starting out my professional career. Somewhere along one of the county roads south of Hwy 90 is an old stagecoach way-station that is still maintained by the state. It is a two, maybe three room adobe building about 40′ by 30′ with a stable attached to one side of the building. What is most notable is that on the outside of the east side of the building is a row of metal rings set into the wall. It seems that when the stagecoach was transporting criminals and stopped at the station overnight, the bad guys were shackled there. They spent the night outside with the scorpions and the snakes, rain or shine.

That’s way out in the part of the state once described as “miles and miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles and miles”. A missionary I got to be friends in Japan once told me that he brought his Japanese (Born/raised in metro Tokyo) wife for a visit (He was from around Odessa) she looked around and exclaimed, “What do they do with all this land?!” “Not a whole lot CAN be done with it was his reply. She had never seen so much open country before in her life. Said it made her uncomfortable. When he refired from the mission field they settled in Nashville. The mountains made her feel somewhat more at home. Ain’t much relatively horizontal real estate in Japan. What there is almost always has a building or a rice paddy on it.

Reminds me of the joke about the lost balloonist hovering near the farmer, asking where he is? So the farmer proceeds to tell the balloonist, in detail, where he is. WHich is not what the balloonist wants to know. They trade barbs and insults about the other’s political leanings. With this ending:
The farmer below responded, “You must be a Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist, “but how did you know?”
“Well,” said the farmer, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re
going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise which you’ve no idea how to keep, and you expect people
beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it’s my fault.”

Finding your position via GPS gives nothing to anyone. If the app sends that info out, then you’re given away. You might know this, but lots of people don’t. Using your GPS also doesn’t use *any* of your data on your plan – downloading the maps to show you what it translates to, *does*.
(Tracking the cell signal across the radio cells is a whole other matter.)
There is a way to know that I heard once or twice in the military, and if anyone should know where her head is at, it is Skye.

I don’t think that Semi is carrying anything that was part of NAFTA.

It’s one of those “just don’t get caught” things and “lie like a rug” if you do depending upon who you are.
Alpine, TX has an observatory and the town of Alpine welcomes amateur astronomers who want dark skies, as well as the solar eclipse crowd. The storms coming out of the Big Bend area are impressive and they do get snow in the winter so pack your cold-weather clothing.
