    Saw another roll over today. Fresh one.

    Conditions-

    Terrain = Flat
    Weather= Sunny, 102F, Dry
    Visibility = Unlimited

    Saw dozens of tire carcasses. Also fresh.

    Maybe just cause the speed limit is 75, some consideration should be given to temperature?

    But it says it's rated for 75mph, it's not my fault.

    Probably a good idea to have hands on the wheel and feet on the floor as well. I don't get this new trend I've been seeing of people sideways in the seat and feet up on the dash or door.

    A good message about judging people by how they dress or appear, and on that note, I’m bringing this day to a close, will start a new in the morning.

    In Idaho you get charged 6% on ANYTHING you buy retail (groceries to construction materials and everything else you can think of)... With the exception of fuel, which has its own seperate tax.

    I prefer my water fresh from the ground... The best water I ever drank was literally bubbling out from the base of a cliff near the ID/MT line, and it was so #### cold it made my teeth hurt. You just stick your face right down to it and drink like a horse.

    Now if you want that fizzy stuff you can find that in the area of Soda Springs, ID... But I'm not sure how cold it is when its cominf out of the ground.

    Man that gives me the willies just watching... Would like to hope that the same life risking manuever would be attempted by a fellow driver today if the need arose... But I'm not so sure many would even think of it, let alone consider it.

    LOL the chance of not dying is what should be known. Yet the news is acting like the number is reversed. Driving up the hysteria of the pandemic.

    Sigh
