Yeah, you never know if the roads washed out. So I was on my way home and we got an amusement park over here at Lake Winnipesoca and coming around Lakeview Drive and, you know, the water was all the way over. top of the road, you know, there's ditches on either side of that road that are probably five foot deep. But anyway, guy decides to turn around, do a U-turn right in the middle of the road. It's like, dude, you can't even see the edges of the road, man. Sure enough, he knows right off into one of those deep ditches, man, and just totally block the road. And I bet he, well, if you block the road, it may come faster because otherwise it would have been probably a while before the tow truck came to get him out. Well, yeah, the tow truck had to get him out. There wasn't any backing out of that, do I sit here thinking, man, what a bonehead move, you know.
