Excel Construction Benefit

On our way to New Braunfels, TX today we seemed to have picked up some "road trash" just outside San Antonio. It's a 3 ft piece of rebar that somehow was kicked up and aimed right at the driver's side propane tank. Fortunatley it got stopped before it entered the propane compartment. I can't remember seeing it in the road or hitting anything like that.

I'll have more photos tomorrow. We were definitely sparred from a very severe accident. Thank you, God!

I knew you should have let your DW drive. Glad this wasn't more serious. Guess you will not be permitted to talk to Smoke or me while driving.

Larry & Virg, Fortunately for us this all happened after I was off of the phone. Otherwise Ms Rose would be given me a lot of heat about paying attention to my driving.


Now Tom, how come you're so sensitive? Your nickname is "Rockhead" isn't it? By the way, are you going to show the world the picture I took of you bragging?

As shy as SKIA is, you might as well go ahead and share the picture with us.
