Orientation At New Legends Next Monday
Topic 31114 | Page 4
Here's HIS drive home, LAST EVENING! Napoleon (Toledo area) Campbell's ... to Mt. Vernon, Ohio. No plows. Note, the placement of the 'Pedigreed Bulldog' on the hood, LoL!
~ Anne ~
My drive home with an empty trailer. About 30 miles from Twin Falls, 45 from the house:
One mile from the Idaho Flying J at exit 173 on I-84:
Stopped while 4 were in the median and then number 5 came towards me but then jerked it into the median and came close to hitting one of the four:
While watching what was going on ahead of me, I looked back and saw a semi speeding toward me...I was stopped and had my flashers going, when he swerved, lost control and jack knifed into the median. He came about one semi length from me and I thought he was going to roll. Fortunately, his trailer rocked back and forth but stayed upright. People don't pay attention, even with all kinds of lights going on emergency vehicles!
