Fuel for Thought

Boom!

         Yep, the sound you never want to hear when driving down the road! BOOM... wap wap wap... LOL.  Of course it's at night on I85 in South Carolina, where temps have been over 100 for 3 days, and the heat index has been ridiculous.  I was driving along just fine... albeit hot.. and get rudely interrupted by the sound.  My right rear tire just blew the belts loose. Luckily, it didn't completely deflate, and I was able to limp along the side of the road til I got to a better place to change a tire.

          But, believe me, it was not one of my favorite things to do in that heat!
