Maybe it was the same guy that yelled at me a month ago.

We all notice new or different things on our route, be it trash, roadkill or what ever. Today a fresh, black skid mark on the road caught my eye. It led from the lane I was in across the oncoming lane and into some grass. I could see dirt tracks where the tires continued to skid across the grass. They went between two trees, one of which had a little damage at about the height of a side-view mirror. About 20 feet beyond that a third tree did not fare so well. There was no evidence of any vehicle, but a splintered and fallen tree remained. I just shook my head and thought to myself, "Ouch."

A little more humid today compared to the past couple of days and a chance of rain this afternoon.
