Talk about having your tail in jail and your rig impounded:
An Illinois trucker has left a path of destruction in northwest Albuquerque in what authorities say was a "meth-induced rage."Eric Dubach, 28, of Mount Vernon, Ill., caused $500,000 in damage when he drove his truck through fences, rammed parked vehicles, homes and businesses, and ran over signs around 4:30 a.m. Sunday, Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White said.
Dubach told authorities he stopped his tractor-trailer at a truck stop off Interstate 40, unhitched his trailer and snorted a "couple of grams" of methamphetamine before going on the joy ride, White Said.
So what was his reason for damaging four homes, five businesses and 24 cars? Why, it's as clear as the canopy of azure sky that hangs over the Land of Enchantment:
Dubach told officers he didn't like Albuquerque and wanted to mess it up, White said.
That's the cranked-up version of painting the town red.

I know Pappy Boyington always said he was thankful for the years in that Japanese POW camp because he couldn't drink there.
