    Almost forgot.

    Swift proved that those cable barriers will not stop a truck from crossing over to the other side of the highway.

    Right around MM 138ish on 80 in WHY-OH-MING.

    Swift appeared to have been west bound and down, coming down that grade at right around 135 mph, MISSED the under crossing culvert railing and all by inches ( absolutely Divine Intervention ) went into the median at about a 15 or 20 degree angle.

    Went right over the cable barrier, looked like about 5 posts were down, crossed over the east bound lanes and

    CRASHED AND ROLLED at the end of the off ramp on the east bound side.

    Made it to Bois D’Arc to the Hoods with time to spare.

    had time to post trip a couple minutes, turn off Bluetooth and about to go to restaurant.
    I could split log, gain 2.25 hours, but still won’t make it home, so don’t see the point.

    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.”

    I'm not going through Montana. I see no reason to distract the DOT from Tidbit and Cattleman.

    Speaking of MT DOT... @D.Tibbitt What the hell is up with all the #### weigh stations???? It seems that they have them at every junction of 2 or more po-dunk roads large enough to deem calling them "Highways"!!!!
