WATCH OUT FOR ROAD ALLIGATORS!
 
.These Road Alligators are the most dangerous things on the freeways. We have to be on a constant lookout for them.
REAL ROAD ALLIGATOR!


WATCH OUT FOR RUN-AWAY TIRES
The semi traveling at 70 miles per hour in front of us on the freeway had a tire blow and come off its rim. The tire crossed two lanes of traffic then headed for the shoulder of the road, slowed down a bit then came back on to the freeway right in front of us and crossed two lanes of traffic again before it came to a stop.

Whoa! That was exciting!
No..."SON" did not take this photo - it is a dramatization of what really happened!

LAST EVENING
The washing machine at the motel did not have a rinse cycle. We used the bath tub. "SON" thought he was in Romania again! It took us most of the night but we finally got everthing dry.
