Just saw this quote in an old interview I did from 2006. Note the Trump reference- it’s hard to remember when Trump was “just” a reality-TV host. And before that, a well-known rich guy.
(I’ll post the article below if you find it interesting)
This part was referring to an internet-based “cat reality show” I had hosted around that time-
Int: Was there a particular pun on the show you enjoyed most?
Tom “My weekly catchphrase "You are Meowta here!" Not that it's not a stupid thing to have to say every episode, but I always wanted my own TV catchphrase, like Fonzy or Freddie Prince. Or Trump.”
What a trio huh? Fonzy (Aaaaaayyyy!) Freddie Prinze (Looking Good!) and Trump, (You’re Fired)

At a “Love’s” truckstop ‘RV Spot’.
Not one we will use again. This one has only electric. They usually have at least water and electric, sometimes sewage.
We carry 15 gals of water or so in our Fresh Tank, just to flush the toilet if we have to stop and use our bathroom. That’s the nice thing about dragging your house around, you are only an exit or parking lot from safe clean toilet facilities.
I bought a jug of water to make coffee in the morning.
A word about ‘wind’.
