Noticed this car at work the other day. I wonder what he did to make somebody key it up like this:
Personally I’ve never keyed a car in my life. There have been times when I’ve been tempted to, but I just couldn’t bring myself to mess with someone’s vehicle.
While inching my way home this afternoon on a busy local freeway I noticed a man standing in the median between the slow lane and a crowded onramp hold both arms extended with thumbs up. Desperate for a ride, his squinting eyes furtively scanned the faces of each driver as they passed by, hoping his desperate, animated pleas for a ride would convince a good citizen to stop and pick him up.
As I slowly approached this roadside apparition, two cop cars sped by me in the emergency lane with lights flashing and sirens wailing before finally coming to a screeching halt in front of the hitchhiker. They quickly emerged from their vehicles with guns drawn and began barking orders. In my rearview mirror I could see the man on his stomach with both cops pinning him to the ground.
I’m unsure if this guy had just committed a crime and was trying to get away, but that was an unusual and highly dangerous location to be thumbing a ride from.
If nothing else, it was a surreal way to end a busy work day 
Breaking away for a moment for a bit of levity, confoundment, and perplexity.
As I watch this video I can’t help but wonder why this never happened to be during those many years of taking the bus to school:
Is there a reason why buses don’t have seat belts? Just curious…
I’d like to know what his excuse was…
I would pay good money to know what that pedestrian on the far left side of the bridge was thinking. It’s obvious that he noticed the truck with its raised bed fast approaching. He paused, long enough to root himself to the ground in fear, before the earth beneath him fell away. Frightening…
