Well I've seen some goods on my commute, and I keep thinking: I should write this shit down. God knows I drive far enough to work, and in that time on the road I listen to a *lot* of podcasts. I also see some stuff. I thought I'd keep track of it here, even though it may be little to no interest to anyone but myself. And to tell you the truth, I'm really not that interested!
So I've drove this commute for a year, here's a couple things I've seen. And from now on, I'll keep track.

--I saw a dude get a flat tire one time. It started smoking good for a while. I backed off and BAM he was pulling over to the right. But I'd seen that before, and think many people have.

--A better one was when a pickup truck zoomed by me. Seconds later, his wheel fell of. It fell the fuck off! I'm not talking the tire here. The whole wheel went rolling! and the truck, now on three wheels and one axle throwing sparks like a sparkler, was dragged over to the median. That wheel, by the way, just missed a car in the other lane and flew off into the ditch.

--The scariest thing by far that I've seen was a motherfucking extension ladder. I don't know what it was doing there, but there it was in the middle of I-5. I lucked out by not hitting it.
