Hey Buddy, Dont Say I Didnt Warn YOU!!

This weekend I made a quick trip over to Bama (but more on that later)...

On the way home, traffic was flowing its normal 75-80 MPH

I got really tickled because there was this little Saturn literally pushing me down the road. When I would move to the left, it would also move to the left... Go right, YEP, it would go right also... Kind of felt like being drafted (as in NASCAR)... This went on for quite some time... I would accelerate and it would too. Slow down a little, and it never missed a beat....

Okay little Saturn, I will be your front door!! Giddy up!!

So we travelled this way for roughly 50 miles and nearing Birmingham, the little Saturn decided it was time to make its exit... But not before easing up beside and blowing the horn.... I looked over and was shocked at what I saw...

There was a Little Old Lady just a waving and smiling!!

I waved back and tooted my horn and she was off, mashin' her motor to pass me just in time for her exit... Throwing up her hand one last time as she disappeared..... Go Granny!!

But that wasn't even the real topic of my post.

So anyways, a little later on as I was nearing the GA state line, I noticed an SUV pass me and he had one of those cargo racks on top of his vehicle... Nothing out of the ordinary at first... But after a few miles, I noticed that the cargo carrier was coming open and something was trying to make its escape.. Being a concerned citizen, I decided to try and catch him.... That was the easy part... Go Sally Go...

My concern was based on two things:

1. I did not want to be the one to hit whatever it was that was about to fly off of the roof of his car ( I already had 2 rocks hit my windshield this weekend!! CRACK)

2. I did not want to see him unknowingly lose his belongings!

So as I eased up beside him I tooted my horn... "Hey Buddy"

He had both hands on the wheel and was extremely focused on his task at hand... Instead of looking over at me, he instead opted for gassing on it and pulling away...

But I was not to be outdone, so I accelerated once again... Pulling back up beside him, I blew my horn a few more times.... I could see him cut his eyes towards me, but would not look directly at me so I just made some wild gestures to get his attention!!

He wasn't having any part of it and once again increased his speed... Now, I was doing 80 or better.. He had to be up to 90mph at this point, so I watched him pull out of sight... I TRIED!!

Less than 10 minutes later, I happened upon an accident scene... Seems there was this SUV that had a cargo carrier on the roof of his vehicle.... It seems the top part of the carrier had come undone and was set free.... It seems that the pick-up truck following the SUV could not dodge said flying obstacle and now had a busted windshield.. It seems there was stuff scattered out on the roadway.... It seems like I tried to prevent this from happening...

HA ha ha haha.......
