I would not have believed it, but I saw it for myself!

Driving across our fair continent, well some of it anyway, you get to see all manner of wonderful and strange things. On our most recent trip I saw on interstate 90 in South Dakota the follow scene. Unfortunately I was driving and my camera was not at hand.... but I think you can all picture this.

A four lane high way with a median. A cop car pulled up on either side of the median and three cops standing in a semi circle in the median. Lights on the cruisers are flashing. As I approached my mind quickly did a list, can't see a car in the median, maybe a motorbike, ah maybe.... as I drew abreast I got to see just what those cops were up too. Why they were corralling a pig! Yes a large pig, very much alive pig. Well Three pigs and a pig, why it just doesn't get any better than that,too bad I didn't get a pic!

The following are things you can see driving along the highway, or stopped at a truck stop, or at a delivery.....






The road can also remind a person to be always humble, alert and careful. It has been along time since I have scared myself driving. So it was with great alarm and heart palpation's that I mistakenly took a corner on the trans Canada Highway just past Three Valley Gap. I was going way to quick and had to take all the road to make it.... Luckily for me it was late at night and there was no on coming traffic!

The morning after would have been terrible to miss....
