    I know for a fact that the family dollar guy had no reason for his trailer tandems to be all the way back like that.

    THAT brother was my thought followed by another. Those tandems would be all the way up and Mr Blue did not use all that left side of the pavement available to him. In other words I would have made that turn.

    Sort of reminds me of Arizona for some reason. We used to have trucks try to bypass a particular scale above 8000 feet and get themselves dumping their trailers into the hole just like that.

    You can, but the bodies pile up faster than you can get rid of them.

    Like the ones that used the older highway that ran along side a closed interstate in the last big blizzard. They cannot get on the interstate because it's closed. But oh look a old US Highway right next to it for 300 miles covered in 4 foot drifts. Let's go.

    I am convinced that if something major was to happen to us Humans... we are going to display a lack of smarts collectively. (Myself included0
