A bit of drama 15 minutes from home. I'm boxed in on 294 southbound and some truck dumps a big piece of metal off the back. No where to go so I try to hit it square. A large bang follows and I'm thinking there goes both passenger tires and most likely an ugly scratch to boot. Pulled off at the next rest stop and all appears OK. Maybe the gods are with me. No more drama except for 2 different vans that pushed me out of my lane so they could make an ever so important cell phone call. Hope they remebered that f***ing quart of milk before they got home.

Arrived at our evening stop in Barbourville KY with no more drama. A good bottle of Cab., some sausage and cheese and a Cohiba Red Dot later and all is right with the world.

Hope to arrive early tomorrow. Let's hope the gods are still with me.
