up the entire highway. They've been turning over like crazy coming off of 321 on to 85. When you come off there to go south, we don't know, north, north on 85. People, them 18 wheelers, they go around that curve as fast as they can go. And if they ain't got the cargo tied down. Over they go. And boy, it's been backing them up. I've been seeing newspaper, not newspaper, news articles on the internet, showing them turned over down there, here about, seems like at least once or twice a month. Yeah, there was a guy I know went around that same curve and the Mustang. And he wasn't going real real fast, but I don't think he had to get tires on there, and it was raining, and he slid right off the road into the guard row. It's every week or two weeks. Seems like an 18-wheeler turns over. They try to go around that curve, maintain that 55 mile per hour, and they don't take heat of the speed warnings on slowing down for big trucks. make it look decent next to the new road. Let me guess the big stalks of Bermuda Grants are growing tall right up next to the road. I never understood that why Bermuda grass grows so tall right up next to the edge of the road and then if you come off the road a little ways it'll be half or a quarter of the height. carbon dioxide vehicles are putting out. The grass grows better where it's got carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, because they converted all the oxygen. Mama's lot down through there we got a nice little long strip and you're just right there against the road to Bermuda grass that kicks like crazy and that might you might be on to something there (name withheld) sometime. (name withheld), (name withheld), y'all be good. K.L. 4 is that. All right, Kay, we'll talk you later, 73. Have a good. (name withheld). Yeah, it don't look like I got moving anytime soon. What was that again now? North on 85. People, 18 wheelers, they go around that curve as fast as they can go. And if they ain't got the cargo tied down good, over they go. And boy, it's been backing them up. I've been seeing newspaper, not newspaper, news articles on the internet showing them turned over down there here about, seems like at least once or twice a month. a Mustang and he wasn't going real real fast but I don't think he had to get tires on there and it was raining and he slid right off the road into the guardrail. They try to go around that curve, maintain that 55 mile per hour, and they don't take heat of the speed warnings on slowing down for big trucks, and man, they wreck all the time.
