Rope
Today on our drive back to Southern, we noticed a rope trailing on the road behind a truck that was way in front of us. We were driving in the right lane and then moved over into the left lane to stay away from the strange unwinding rope. We watched as the truck tried to pass a semi. The rope slid over into our left lane. The truck kept going, unaware of the long line trailing behind him. Finally the car in front of us drove over the rope and then we did too. All of a sudden the rope broke off from the truck and disappeared behind us. It was really strange. We drove up beside the truck and Jonathan tried to yell from the driver's seat that they had lost a rope or a coil or something like that. We're not sure if the driver of the truck ever understood what we were trying to tell him. It was weird, but something I wanted to remember, so that's why I picked it for my post today.

That is strange. Was it not holding something in the truck?
ReplyDeleteAt least the rope was the only thing that broke off...
ReplyDeleteYeah it was strange. Some of the guys decided it was probably an ethernet cable or something that was on a spool and started coming loose. Even so I was a little nervous that things were going to start flying off the truck bed when we drove up behind him to pass.
