Coming clean about the road trip...

I can't take it any more. I've kept a secret from you, my listening public, and it has been eating me up inside ever since that fateful day in San Diego. We were driving from San Diego to Los Angeles when we heard a loud THUMP as if we just hit something big. Being up so high, you know, you don't alway see what's going on right under your nose. It's got big windows and all but sometimes people do silly things... like run out in the road right in front of you, and before you know it you've hit them.

Well that's exactly what happened to us. We pulled over and looked back, but we didn't see anyone or anything lying in the road. Then we looked at the front of the RV and we saw this: (scroll down)

That reminds me of a friend of mine that came upon a bad accident.

And as she got closer, she saw a baby's arm on the road...

Then a leg...

Then another arm...

Then a HEAD...

It turned out that it was a tractor trailer carrying a load of baby dolls.

Us San Diegans often gets comments about these signs when east coasters are in town.

let me tell you there is nothing more terrifying than driving 80 mph late at night on the 5 fwy when a group of people run accross the 5 right in front of you. it happens all the time.
