Have you ever been driving on a highway and noticed items like mattresses, box springs or other large objects on the road or at the side of the road? If you’re like me you’re probably glad that you weren’t driving behind a vehicle when they lost those items, right?
Well, an elderly motorcyclist wasn’t so lucky. Last month a motorcycle rider was critically injured when a boxed bathtub fell off a pickup truck.
Wow, hit by a bathtub. That man will have a story to tell! When he was hit on a Louisiana interstate he was thrown from his bike and landed on the grass median. When helped arrived he was taken to a local hospital. I’m uncertain as to what his injuries were but I’d imagine that he’d have a few broken bones at the very least.
Naturally the pickup driver was charged with driving with an unsecured load and booked for negligent injury.

What would you do if you found a bag filled with enough money to make your life easier?
Debbie Cole of Largo found a plastic bag on the road stuffed with $65,000! What did she do? She immediately returned it to the authorities.
The money had fallen off a Loomis armored car about a half hour before Debbie found it near the Pinellas County solid waste operations facility where she’s employed. She actually thought it was a turtle on the road when she first spotted the bag.
The bag was found at about 7 a.m and it was filled with enough $50 and $100 bills to have paid her salary for two years!
It’s still unclear how the bag happened to have fallen from the truck.
Her boss, Bob Hauser, is unable to give her a bonus or raise for her good deed, but he might arrange for some extra time off.
Cole grew up in Long Island and she says she was raised to be honest. When she was asked if she even thought of keeping the money she stated “Everyone keeps asking me that,” Cole said. “To be honest, no. It didn’t even cross my mind.”
Well good for her! I hope Loomis gives her a bonus for turning in the money.
So – what would you have done had it been you that found all that money? Be honest.

The theme is the week is On the Road:
Wonder how many bugs got caught in his teeth and hair when he posed for that photo? I think I’d get dizzy with my head stuck out a train window like that … not to mention the bugs on the face!
