I'd forgotten what a PITA those stone throwning salt trucks are...
Necessary, yes..but still a pain when you get one coming at you..

I was driving accross Bloomington SR this a.m. &
this blue flasher pops over the hill coming staight for the G with salt flying

A side street is ahead on the right.... will I make it?????
YES!!!! the G escapes & NAV plots a new route

Way to go Ian.

Darn salt, slush and crap everywhere here too. It was warm on Saturday and I washed my van. In a couple of days it has a 1/2" dirty crust over it.

I know the feeling bro...but sometimes I think these truck drivers enjoy messing cars on the road. I've seen them DUMPING salt on clear roads...it's like common sense is not required to do that job.

LOL, "MIA" --more like gone shopping............

Those salt truck drivers always have big a smile on their face when they pass....I wonder why?

Good dodge today....I passed one this morning but had no dodge, so I slowed right down instead.......Hate that stuff.............but I hate ice more

Can't be part of the union. That took common sense and more.

LOL, is that because you were driving right at him?????

J/K -- There are some nice guys out there.....and besides, like Deane said, he/she may not have been part of the union.
