| More Roadway Idiots |
As I'm driving down I95 this morning heading towards the Blue Route, I notice wisps appearing on the roadway all around me. That's strange I say to myself, it's not hot out and it hasn't rained (after a rainstorm on a hot day, the road sometimes steams). I don't think much more about it until I'm almost on the Blue Route when I see in front of me... a pickup truck loaded with very fine, very dry dirt. The wind at 65 mph is just lifting this stuff right out of his bed. Can't he see the smoke screen he's creating in his rear-view mirror? IDIOT!!!
Next, I'm on the Blue Route almost to the Schuylkill Expressway. I say to myself, "What is this black shit hitting my car?" As I drive a little farther, I see a huge dump truck with no cover on it in front of me. Blowing out of the truck is some type of ash or soot. Aren't these trucks supposed to be covered to prevent this? IDIOT!!!
Now I'm in the final stretch to work heading down 202. Like a big snow storm, there's this fuzzy stuff flying around everywhere. "What the hell is this?", I ask myself. Teddy Bear stuffing! That's right folks, it was a truck with Teddy Bears all over it (real ones, not painted). Again the driver didn't secure his cargo and as he drove down 202 with the rest of us, he created a "snow storm" of stuffing for us to drive through. IDIOT!!!
All this inside a 40 minute period this morning! Why are people such idiots? When I drive, I tie the mattress down to the car, I don't hold it with my hand. I put stuff in sealed containers when I travel. I close my trunk or hatchback to keep the stuff I'm transporting in my possession. This isn't difficult or expensive to do. It helps prevents accidents and it's always a good thing.
Where are the cops when you need them? |

I seem to be the one stuck behind the two cars carrying the mattress and boxspring held to the roof with butcher's twine and the driver's arm. Once, I was behind a pickup truck that was spewing old albums all over the highway. There were probably some good collectibles lost during that person's move. Tragic.
