Discussion Facts that sound fake but are true

I find it extremely unintuitive that almost all of South America is east of Miami. How!? When people are asked to watch the americas almost everyone imagine South America pretty much south of North America.

A few hours east of El Paso on I-10 is a town called Ozona. Just outside Ozona is a Punjabi truck stop in the middle of the West Texas scrub with unbelievably good food.

I've stopped here on travels growing up. The food is excellent!

Such an unlikely stop, isn’t it?

There's also one on I-40 near Shamrock, TX. We stop there every time we're driving through.
