font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s been a few days since I last allocated some time to write, which is typically something that I\u2019m not a fan of doing.\u00a0 But things have been busy at work, and even busier at the house, so I haven\u2019t really had a nice chunk of time in which I could throw down some words, much less dick around on the internet to look for things to write about, or even glance at social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Being an adult sucks and is depressing, and I very much dislike this feeling of not feeling at home no matter where I am currently.\u00a0 But like all adverse weather, this storm too shall pass, and eventually things will get back up to a more satisfactory par.\u00a0 But first, I wish everyone around me at work weren\u2019t sick and carrying the plague into the workplace and I feel like I should propagate Asian stereotypes and start showing up with a surgical mask on, because I actually value my health and have consideration to stay away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Anyway, when I want to get back into the swing of the written word, I tend to go for low-hanging fruit or easy fluffy things to help jog the mind and the typing into a groove.\u00a0 And there\u2019s no better things for me to get fascination out of, than trucks full of interesting contents, crashing all over Atlanta highways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Over the span of the last few days however, it wasn\u2019t <a href=\"http:\/\/www.11alive.com\/traffic\/chicken-truck-crashes-on-i-85nb\/408193686\">just one truck<\/a> that tipped over and dumped its shit all over the road, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs46.com\/story\/34495832\/lanes-closed-on-part-of-i-75-south-in-marietta-due-to-accident\">but two separate trucks<\/a>, being driven by reckless drivers who were probably too sleep deprived and\/or just stupid, and fell victim to the perils of Atlanta interstates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The first truck, was described as a <strong>chicken truck<\/strong>.\u00a0 At first, I was excited at the prospect of pounds upon pounds of raw chicken getting dumped out or even live chickens being frantically released all over I-85, but it turns out that the truck was full of nothing but pallets used to transport chicken, and no actual product.\u00a0 Still, I\u2019m fascinated at how accidents like this sometimes occur, where a truck basically just goes off into the woods, but given the fact that it supposedly happened around 5 a.m., I think it\u2019s safe to assume the driver fell asleep at the wheel.\u00a0 The question is, who\u2019s to blame, the driver or the expectations\/deadlines of the shipping company?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The second truck, the contents were not specifically described in the initial headline, but I had suspicions when I saw the phrase \u201coverturned truck,\u201d because I always want to know what\u2019s in them when they tip over.\u00a0 It also piqued my interest, because it occurred right near where the Atlanta Braves\u2019 new <span style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\">Great White Flight<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\">Racist<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\">ScumTrust<\/span> SunTrust Park, and anything that might troll\/inhibit\/screw around with the perception of the new ballpark is relevant to my interests.\u00a0 There is in fact a lot of construction surrounding the area in which this occurred, but it\u2019s still very much a straight line in which a truck driver somehow managed to overturn.\u00a0 Chalk it up to a dumb driver being dumb, I guess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The very last sentence reveals that the contents of the truck was actually cattle feed; unfortunately it wasn\u2019t tons of raw beef, or live cows getting released onto I-75, or that the spilling of all the feed didn\u2019t attract cows out of the woodwork or something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">A great big cow turd, with SunTrust Park in the background would make for a compelling and poignant photograph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Obviously, I\u2019m more hesitant to glamorize these incidents if any people or animals were hurt in them, and I\u2019m pleased to report that aside from some bumps, bruises and shaking up, no drivers or bystanders were hurt in either crash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s close, but neither of these can really contribute towards the highway buffet of carnage, considering neither actually contained any food stuff, but instead accessories to the essential livestock instead.\u00a0 But still, it\u2019s amusing to see words like \u201cchicken truck\u201d or \u201ctruck full of cattle feed\u201d in the news, even if probably nobody else gets it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I get that although I find these incidents funny in a spectator standpoint, and that I\u2019d probably be livid, hate the world and be homicidal in the event I ever got caught in a traffic nightmare on account of a tipped over tractor trailer, but knock on wood and that\u2019s a story for another time, that I hope never comes into fruition.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a few days since I last allocated some time to write, which is typically something that I\u2019m not a fan of doing.\u00a0 But things have been busy at work, and even busier at the house, so I haven\u2019t really had a nice chunk of time in which I could throw down some words, &hellip;
