Anyone ever been cruising down the freeway at 80mph and hit a cooler that fell out of someone's truck? We hit one the other night around midnight somewhere between Orange and Beaumont on our way back to Houston and it sounded like we hit a tree or something.. It got stuck under our van and we had to pull over and pry it out from under the car. It was smoking and half melted.

Lucky it was empty!

Hit a mattress, and spun into the median over the San Jac river.

I was on a Harbor bridge in Corpus Christi, when a sofa fell off of a back of a pick-up in the front of my car.

About a month ago on 59 north up by Costco, I saw a quad fall out of the back of a pickup truck and do a couple of flips at 60mph. Luckily nobody was behind him.

I also know a guy who was heading up 45 pulling his wakeboard boat a few years ago and was involved in a multicar accident. He got out of his truck to check on another car. Then he noticed his boat was gone. After looking around, he spotted it on the opposite side of the freeway. The straps broke in the wreck, and his boat jumped off the trailer and went over the divider and slid towards oncoming traffic. Luckily, it didn't hit anyone. Boat was totaled.

What's the deal with highway 290, it's been under construction since 2012 if I'm not mistaken?

I was bare-footed and chasing a mean dog down the street and my big toe went into a crack in the pavement. Ripped that toe nail right off. I hopped back to the house.

Anything to deter the politicians from Austin from driving here.
