ok let me set this up, kind of long sorry so this morning I had a late start to work, dentist always fun..not anyway its a nice day out but winds are gusting I am in my car and its are blowing it around, anyway I see a guy on a bike and then I notice him tuck in behind the pos truck hauling guttering, old beat up guttering to be exact with this crap stacked 3 times the bed height of the truck, so all kinds of thought start racing thru my head what the heck is this guy doing behind the truck loaded with this stuff, let alone a truck, anyway I passed them, the trucks going pretty slow the guy on the bike I figure is trying to stay outta the wind or he works with the guy hauling this crap going to another job... so I get here at work and I think I wanted to tell the guy to get the heck away from the truck but kind of not possible going down the highway, so I want to tell all the other brothers and sisters here on the .org to be careful out there and watch for these kind of things, people are spring cleaning their homes or remolding or whatever they are doing this time of year know all of us probably do but maybe this will just get to the one person that doesn't or make them think the next time they are out, pls be careful out there and watch yourselves...thanks I now step off my soap box...
Anyways....Four or five pieces of fire wood bounced off the back a utility trailer in front of us being pulled by a couple of rednecks.
We all just managed to swerve around the tumbling wood and then a few miles ahead pulled into a convenience store for a cold drink and a smoke break. While at the store, a few minutes later, cops and an ambulance went flying by with their sirens blaring. Later that night, when we all got home, it was on the news and in the papers that 2 bikes in a group of three had hit firewood in the road in that exact location on RT 44 and died from there injuries. Unfortunately at the time, none of us thought enough to get a license plate # or stop to remove the debris from the road. We all called each other the next day regretting that none of us had stopped to clean up the wood and thanking God that it wasn't us.
