Saw a tire come off of a knuckle boom loader, cross the median and slam (luckily) into the B pillar of a GMC Acadia of a family of four, traveling the opposite way. There were some moderate injuries, but everyone was fine for the most part. Of course the knuckle boomer loader and escort didn’t stop, but MHP tracked them down over the next few days.

I saw Jeff Fisher when I was driving through Nashville.


I forgot about this. My wife and I were headed to my in-laws once, we are between Jackson and Vicksburg on I-20. There is a rented RV (it had something like “RV across America” on the back of it) and they were going 60-65 in the right lane. I change lanes and overtake it and there is a black guy on a motorcycle in front the the RV. We rode on past the guy on the motorcycle and I look over just to get a look at him, and it’s Jerry Rice.

At age four I saw a kid on a bike get hit by the car in front of us. The kid was dead within minutes. The memory is imprinted.


Certain posters on the OT will tell you that the kid deserved it.

A convoy of Maga sheep with all kinds of flags attached to their trucks driving around 270 trying to intimidate people. Looked like something you'd see in the middle east with Isis. Really strange.

I-16 from Atlanta to Savanah. Left the hotel in Atlanta around 4:30 AM and right around sun up I see blue lights in rearview mirror. I look at my speed and was doing 80. Slowed down figuring I was busted,but two state police cars flew passed me followed by a county sheriff. Couple of minutes later I see debris in the roadway, cowboy boots, backpack and and crumpled up bloody body on the shoulder. I passed the body and pulled over and called 911. I told 911 there was a body at mile marker, and she cut me off saying "they are aware of the body and not to approach" " leave the area" Go down the road and come up on a rise. Top of the rise I see the sheriff waving his arms for me to get over. I pull back to the shoulder and stop. He runs up and tells me to put on my hazard lights and to flag down traffic to stop. I did as directed when I heard gun fire and the sheriff took off towards the gunfire telling me to stay. More gun fire erupted. Shortly more blue lights and they pulled up blocking the road. Told me to get in my vehicle and stay put. After 15 minutes another Sheriff comes up to me and asked me to get out. Gave him my license and he questioned me.He thanked me and I asked him what the hell was going on. Told me the were chasing bank robbers and had a shootout with them. All the bank robbers were dead. I asked him about the body a few miles back and he said it was one of the robbers and he fell from the truck bed doing 100 mph. They gave me a escort to the exit behind us a mile back and brought me to an exit miles pass that area. Crazy few hours.

I was transporting a young model after school to a television studio for the filming of a fitness video. In a two seat convertible on a beautiful sunny day, so the top is down. She hops into the passenger seat carrying a small bag with her leotard and shoes. Had only about 25 minutes from the time her school let out until the scheduled shoot. Got on the Interstate and there is a little unexpected traffic. She begins to get concerned about being late and the entire tv crew and cast having to wait on her, or worse yet being somehow left out. When I realize and glance over she is tearing her school uniform off. The whole white shirt, pleated plaid skirt Britney Spears Catholic school girl thing. Completely strips and wiggles into her leotard. Arrive at the studio and she runs in only to find out the shoot was delayed 30 minutes while they reset the lighting.

Windy day, going northbound I-85 near the NC-SC border, saw what I thought was a black plastic garbage bag hung up on some weeds on the side up ahead. Just waving in the breeze, then it broke loose and started drifting across the road a few hundred yards in front of me. The guy in front of me hit it and there was a huge, glorious explosion of feathers, ... one less peacock around.

Am peak traffic on I-45 and coming upon a tub/shower unit standing straight up. 18-wheeler cut it in half and shot one half into my side. Was drivable luckily…..straight to dealership body shop.

Not crazy but funny.
Yesterday driving up I-24 near Chattanooga saw a guy driving an old 83 model Chevy truck and happened to look at the tag because it wasn’t familiar. Only tag on the truck was an Alabama one with expiration date of April 1986

On the way to Gulf Shores in 2012, I saw a rodeo clown in make up and everything walking along the shoulder at about 6:00 am in Mississippi.



One night, I may or may not have been on a hallucinogen and I swear there were three people, each one on a small donkey with their feet dragging the ground holding torches.

They looked pissed and everytime we stopped at a stop sign or something, they would get really close and evidently I was begging the driver to stop stopping at stop signs because it seemed like they would get really close to us.. But then all of a sudden all three of them started flapping their arms like they were flying and they disappeared.

I don't remember this, but I was told that I kept talking about how they went to soup kitchen. It was the one and only time I dabbled with that particular illegal substance. At that time, it was absolutely real to me.

Living in Houston, illegals hitting someone, then running from their cars is common. But you know it is bad when you are taking a walk, witness an accident and see one car plow into the back of another, but then the driver of the car that got hit, takes off running!

Riding with a friend to go hunting early one morning. Hes running about 75 and rounds a corner to find about 10 buzzards in the road eating breakfast. One buzzard is a little slow flying away.

Buzzards apparently have a defense mechanism that when threatened they will immediately vomit and expel a diarrhea like substance. Well that happened all over the front grill, hood and windshield of his truck. Cant see where we are going for all the goo. He hits the windshield wipers just making it worse.

About 10 seconds after impact the smell of all that goo comes blasting through the air conditioner. We get stopped but not before my friend pukes all over the dash board. He never got the smell of that bird out of the car, ended up selling the truck.

Driving down 2 lane back road somewhere in BFE Mississippi. A huge drone buzzed the road going from west to east. It was just a few feet above the trees. Two or three seconds later, a small private jet buzzed over the same spot, no markings that I could see, obviously chasing the drone. I believe the chase plane had the ability to down the drone in the event of an emergency, based on research afterwards.

Overseas...seeing the vehicle immediately in front of yours explode from an IED. That’s always interesting.
