“You never realize how bumpy a road is until you try to write something”

A bumpy road and trying to write are a bad combination. “I’d forgotten how bumpy and difficult it is to write when on the train. I have crazy scrawls all over the page now. :-(” was posted on Twitter by Rob Stroud on May 13, 2010. “You never realize how bumpy the train is until you need to write (or take a leak). Right?” was posted on Twitter by Kevin Richardson on October 1, 2011.
