Now That’s One Relaxed Truck Driver!

So, a couple of days ago, here locally, I-70 was shut down for a large part of the day when a semi hauling 41,000 pounds of blasting caps and dynamite overturned when the driver fell asleep!!

Fell asleep driving a truck full of explosives! How is that possible? Just driving home with a can of gas for the lawnmower in the trunk of the car makes me as jumpy and nervous as a long-tailed cat in a rocking chair factory.

The truck was enroute from Kentucky, so it’s not like he’d been at the wheel for all that long, either. Hell, I’ve (recently) driven for 19-20 hours straight and not fallen asleep; and this without the spectre of being blown to smithereens if I did.
