Yesterday was a banner day for junque on the freeway. I have a 35 mile trip to my side job and I seemed to have passed an inordinately large amount of unsecured cargo etc...
- A truck 2 vehicles ahead gave birth to a fresh batch of 'gators, one large 4 footer and a bunch of babies bouncing around.
- There was a leaf spring (Yes! a freakin leaf spring!) in the fast lane. The truck (low-rider w/ offset wheels) hit it and cut down his front right tire. Only my cat-like-reflexes (and the fact that I wasn't riding this guy's bumper) saved Suzie & myself from a similar (and potentially disastrous) fate.
- There was a patio umbrella in the emergency lane. Yes it was open, and yes I got a big o'll burst of adrenaline when I saw it shift around when the cage in front of me passed it.
- There was a broken down Hardley on the HOV cloverleaf. Blue w/ silver flames and ape-hangers. I stopped to see if he needed any assistance. He said it had gas and spark but just died and wouldn't start. He had a cell & there was a tow coming to get him.
- There was a full sheet of OSB in the middle lane. I think it was 1/2" but couldn't tell at speed.
What did you get to avoid today?
