Yesterday I had the opportunity to look at trucks. Lots and lots of very big, very long trucks. I started truck-watching because I noticed a tractor-trailer pulling onto I-70. It was the longest tractor-trailer I’ve ever seen. My son and daughter tried valiantly to guess what was on the trailer. A rocket? A Polaris missile? Experimental airplane wings? I’m sure we’ll never figure out what that truck was carrying.
Then we began to notice all the trucks with unusual loads. We saw huge pipe-shaped objects. We saw turquoise blue two-ended tanks, the kind you might store oxygen in. We saw more Unidentified Trucking Objects than I’d thought possible.
If anyone knows what was on that big trailer on I-70, please end the agony and tell me what it was.

Hmmm…I have no idea what would’ve been on that big trailer on I-70, but I know my son would’ve been thrilled to see all the trucks that you saw! He LOVES trucks! 🙂
Hey, I wanted to let you know that I got your book, “Playing Smart” by Susan K. Perry.
I’ve started browsing through it already and sharing some of the great ideas with my sister, who has a 6 year old boy.
Thanks so much for sending the book to me! When I’m finished, I’ll share it in one of my future “Pay It Forward Book Exchange” giveaways (I host one each month at the beginning of hte month) so that another reader can enjoy it. 🙂
