I was torn between two reactions. First, "Wow. I hope no one's hurt." And second, "Wow. This might look really cool. I hope it's worth the traffic delay."
Oh, don't look at me like that. You know that thought crosses your mind, too.
So I pulled out my camera, snuck my hand through the wrist strap in case I had to drop it quickly, and began shooting picture blindly through the windshield as I negotiated the traffic.
Pretty interesting, right? It got more interesting when I realized the smoke was moving. We had a fire traveling down the interstate.
Did anyone call the police?
Did the driver know?
Do you have to pay an extra toll when haul fire?
Is there a fire shortage someplace and they are importing more?
Why not Fedex the fire?
But when I got closer, there was no fire.
It was just a lousy, old dump truck hauling coal and spewing half if load across the interstate.
Seriously, people. Cover your load. Don't tease us like that.
Geez, I was expecting something too! good job building up the suspense lol
ReplyDeletehaha - that reminds me of a joke I heard one time. I think it was Dane Cook I was listening to. Anyway, it was about being stuck in traffic and thinking "someone better be dead up there or something!"
ReplyDelete"fire shortage" made me snort.
ReplyDelete@RearVuMirr Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Sadie That could be. It's something many people must think but would never say.
@Nona Managing inventory can be challenging in these tough times.
