When you spend a lot of time on the road, you find a lot of things on the road. My favorite thing to find is tools. A friend of mine from college really enjoyed finding porn – he was really good at it too.
It is pretty unbelievable how much crap there is out there – but probably even more interesting are the hidden mysteries associated with each item. For example, how did that shoe end up there, why is that cell phone smashed here, and recently for me – why the hell is there a receiver hitch pin on the side of the road…

In case you don’t recognize it, this little piece of metal is almost all that holds that huge boat, camper, or horse trailer onto the back of that huge (gas sucking) SUV or (diesel chugging)Ford F-350 that just roared past you. Every time I see one of these on the side of the road (twice now) I imagine there had to be a phone call like this…
(insurance guy) Hello, Joe’s Insurance…
(lost pin guy) Hi Joe, this is Richard, Richard Payne – I need to make a claim.
(insurance guy) Tell me what happened Mr. Payne…
(lost pin guy) Well, I was driving down Eagle Road and the boat just popped off the back of my truck…
(insurance guy) Weren’t you using safety chains?
(lost pin guy) Wwwhhhaaattt?
(insurance guy) Never mind, did the boat hit anything?
(lost pin guy) No, just bounced off some spandex freak bike guy. He left a smear down the side of the boat – but I am pretty sure it will buff out.
(insurance guy) Thank god it didn’t hit a mailbox or something, it may have damaged the fiberglass.
(lost pin guy) Yeah, no kidding.
(insurance guy) Thank God for small miracles…
