26 May: Road Hazards

There are some things that could happen to you walking on the roadside that you might think about, worry about, or possibly even plan for. I don't think this morning's surprise falls into any of those categories.

About 10 minutes out of Cashmere (more on that later) this morning, I was walking along the ample highway shoulder, minding my own business as they say, when a flatbed truck with a spare tire atop the cab and a front-load bobcat on the bed pulled off the road and stopped about 30 feet in front of me. Right behind him stopped a brown pickup truck. I had only a split second to consider these two trucks pulling over before I heard a strange ringing sound to my right. I looked over that way just in time to see a second spare tire, this one having just bounced off a chain link fence set back about 15 feet from the highway.

Nothing like a good laugh to start the day.
