I feel like I haven't been able to post anything like this in a long time, file it under random minutiae of life. My husband and I were driving to a wedding last Friday. Near the start of our drive, we heard a pop which was followed by fragments of tire flying all over and a truck pulling off the road. We weren't close enough to it for it to be a big hazard, though we did run over a bit of it. Maybe 20 minutes later, more tire fragments are rolling toward us. Only this time, we saw no vehicle where it was coming from. No tires that we could see were missing, and no cars seemed to be hurrying off the road. My husband however could smell the burning of a rim and the road, for miles it seemed. Someone did know they had blown a tire? Or did but decided to keep driving anyway? Weird.
