Morning Commute

Aug 16, 2007 14:27

Things one can have fly out of the back of a truck or car in front of them while doing 75 on the 202 through Tempe at 7:45 a.m.:

- A large box of paper containing approximately 1000 unstapled sheets which the wind plasters against your dust covered windshield

- A paint bucket, empty, subsequently run over and dragged approximately 1.27 miles beneath the front bumper (Note: if this happens to you, it's loud)

- Plastic bags. Don't bother trying to dodge these, it's futile.

- Tires, be they shredded from a blowout or in their natural, full round state. These make quiet thumping noises when you can't avoid them.

- Ladders (Note: try not to hit these, they leave a mark)

- Twelve pack of diet coke. Fizzy.

- Cardboard boxes, 50/50 chance of running over an empty rather than one full of dinner plates (Note: Styrofoam peanuts are a bitch to pry out of your radiator)

- Homemade cassette mix tapes

- Clothing

- Mattress, queen size

- Illegal Alien, Hispanic variety

Driving here is a risky obstacle course of materialism and humanity.
