Being local, I don't see too much but I have seen 1 car chase and a number of wrecks, 1 serious. 1 truck driver attempting to attack another on the road with a meat hook before the one raced off and the other followed in hot pursuit. A Heartland truck who used his Jake a little touch much on a really hot summer day, the cab was nice and oily black.

Kona, that's a pile of crap!! :lol:

A few tings are memorable to me that I wont soon forget, here are some:

A 4000lb prairie dog on the I 70 + a six legged cow.
A beautiful sunrise and sunset on a Florida coast beach, got to pet some manatee 10 feet away from my bobtails parking space..also seen a bull shark.
A tornado in southern Missourie.
My girlfriends beautiful face every time I leave is the most prominant.

And yesterday and the day before, two fatalities, one in Dayton, and the other on the 294, both bodies uncovered...not a good sight at all...All because of ..I have to be first.


Dayton involved two big trucks and one car...Im not naming companies.

I have seen some really strange things over the years. One thing that comes to mind was actually in a 4 wheeler at home. I was traveling southbound on hwy 153, which is like an interstate, when I heard a swishing sound. I looked in my rear view mirror just in time to see a car hit a truck head on. The car crossed the median barely missing me and hit the truck just behind me. The woman who was driving was killed instantly. They have never found out what caused the wreck. The odd thing is that she must have just missed me, for me to have heard the noise so loudly. The odd thing is that I never saw her cross the median. I only heard that swishing noise and saw her for the first time when I looked in my rear view mirror just prior to her hitting the truck. It was almost surreal. There wasn't much left of the car. I am very grateful that she missed me.

Car wrecks are the worst, I have came upon 2 wrecks before any emergency vehicles but never witnessed any happen in front of me.

Some years ago, I was traveling East on old hwy. 64 near Selmer, TN. Selmer is in West Tennessee and is the home of Buford Pusser of the film Walking Tall fame. I started up this hill and looked to my right and saw a horse with his chin propped in the 'Y" of a tree and his feet crossed, asleep. I wish that I had a camera that day. I now keep a camera with me. I can get a chuckle, even thinking about it. :lol:

I don't know that it's the most memorable, and I'm just a trucker wannabe, but I was just entering Gresham,Or on 26 and I was behind a semi in the left lane. I see a girl walking and she flashed her boobs to the trucker. I don't know what he did to cause that, but I thought it was cool. I'm a perv by natiure.

While driving for Chippewa near Morris, IL, I noticed a rig stopping on the shoulder before every underpass. It was an open-top van apparently hauling a giraffe. I could not see the handler in the trailer, but he was pulling the giraffe's head down for the underpass.

While driving on a two-lane highway out west for Tri-State Motor Transit, my lead driver stopped for sheep being herded down the road by an indian on horseback, and his dog. I got out of the bunk and took photos. The indian motioned us forward and the sheep parted as we drove slowly through the flock.
