Saw some drunk college boys lose a Ski Nautiques boat off of a trailer doing about 65. Actually slid along quite level for about 30-40 yards until it started listing to port, crossed the oncoming lane on a 2-lane highway, then did a nice series of "endos" into the trees.

Random boating pic tooling through some local cypress:

Had something similar happen to a friend leaving Englishtown.

He forgot to tie down the race car and it ended up inside the tow vehicle.

I drove home from my house in Vermont yesterday afternoon. It never fails, almost as soon as I hit the NYC line, traffic becomes a problem... i.e. I drove 4.5 hour with nary a problem then this..



Wonder if it still has Firestones?

I travel the world (wide web) looking for the strange and random. A click here, a link there and I'm at a site with pics that begs to be shared.
