Heck of a day yesterday, just to run a piece of equipment out to the field, then get back home. In that roughly 100 mile round trip, got to watch a wheel come off a Mobil home being moved and make like a pinball through oncoming traffic. Saw an overturned trailer from an accident the day before. Then on the way home a truck/trailer rig was shedding bearings, races, and brake parts as he was driving down the highway. Now I have to drive to San Angelo and back today feeling a little gun "highway" shy.

A couple of years ago I was driving North on 35 from Round Rock and all of a sudden to my left a tire went bouncing ahead of me and off to the left , across the median barely missing a car going South and then off into the field. If that thing had hit a car I am sure it would not have been good.

Craziest thing I have encountered on the highway was in Arizona--on I-10. Driving along and noticed a dust cloud in the median coming at me--fast! I pulled as far right as I could but didn't know whether to speed up or slow down. The dust cloud enveloped the car and I tensed for the crash-which never came. It was someone's tandem-axle trailer which had some off the hitch and came spinning thru the median.

I have saw almost the same thing, those bolted together duals are WICKED when they go rolling down the road at 70mph..
