As you can see, my wife had a little mishap today -- her tire blew out on her way to work.  I just want to say `thanks' to all of her
fellow I-85 commuters this morning who refused to let her change lanes and get over to the side of the road, in spite of the fact
that her vehicle almost went out of control, she put on her emergency lights and started frantically honking her horn.  In fact, these
geniuses didn't see fit to let her through until her tire shredded through and sparks started flying from the rim!  As a result, I have
expressly instructed her that should something like this happen again, she is to force her way through traffic and simply take out
anyone stupid enough to get in her way.  We do have an umbrella policy, after all!

Sincere thanks go to the Georgia Deparment of Transportation H.E.R.O. patrolman who stopped and changed her wheel for us.
I took my wife home after the incident and we returned after rush hour to assess the damage and get our vehicle home.  I had just
finished removing the spare when he pulled up.  Notice all the rubberneckers to the left of the second picture slamming on their
brakes to take a look!  How pathetic can people get?!
