    Another dumb ###

    https://youtube.com/shorts/1xrrOP827xM?si=t-hlNVlUS9Ih8pFr

    I had someone do almost this exact same thing to me not far from where this video was taken. Was in Cedar Rapids, Ia on 380. I was in the center lane and someone came down the entrance ramp and ran straight over into my lane. There was a car passing me on the left (that I didnt know about) and allegedly ran him off on to the shoulder when I dodged the "dumb ###". Safety dept said the guy called the cops, but the cops wouldnt take the report, so they called the company. I told safety "that should tell you something". I dont think I hit him, there was no scuff marks anywhere on my trailer.

    All this new equipment - just how many ABS systems does a truck have now? I thought it was just one.

    One afternoon on the way back to the barn I had some idiot creep out of the left lane right into my left side trailer tires at 60 mph. I don’t think he even realized it… that is, until he took a look at the right side of his car. Hopefully now he knows not to drive while staring at his idiot box.

    Breakfast and kitchen cleanup are complete— a plan to go find an appropriate summer time sun bonnet is currently in the works— the third layer of face and ear peal came off this morning and preventative measures must be taken so’s we don’t spend the kid’s inheritance on a new Rolls Royce for the plastic surgeon

    I’ve been looking at full face motorcycle helmets for that reason.
