Flamin' Beer Delivery Guy

Later that evening when I was traveling across Pennsylvania I was passed by a Saturn sedan that was driving erratically. He almost broad-sided my car as he pulled back into the right lane. A few moments later I saw sparks and a large part fell out from underneath the car. He didn’t seem to notice so I flashed my lights and got him to pull over. The driver was a young (18-20) white male who was wearing a blaze orange sweat shirt that proudly proclaimed that he was the official beer delivery guy. For some reason I don’t think he is going to be able to fulfill that role tonight especially when the sparks quickly turned into flames that engulfed the entire front end of his car. The whole time he seemed oblivious to the fact that his car was literally going up in smoke and was just interested in getting a ride to Scranton. I guess the beer run was the only thing on his mind. Do you think they'd even want the warm beer?


The Virginville fire department eventually showed up to admire the carnage and after a while they decided to put it out. After being told to stick around for almost two hours I was able to convince a State Trooper to at least give the kid a ride to the next town and got myself off the hook. After that it was just an uneventful drive to Harrisburg, PA where I grabbed a room and called it a night. So what do you think is in store for tomorrow?!?



I also got a couple of shots that remind me of ink blot tests. Let me know what you see.

Such an eventful trip so far! Will there be as many adventures and hazards on my trip out, I wonder? Or will you have enough for both of us? Take care and you're sorely missed by all of us - the monsters feel a little neglected but I'll try roughing them up according to your standards. >:P

All I can say is WOW, glad you are ok, and nice colors! I never knew a Saturn could look so good!
