On the way to dinner tonight, traffic was moving at a crawl on the I 74 bridge, Once we got onto the bridge we noticed what appeared to be animal parts in both East bound lanes. While waiting on the computer I heard on the news that a National By Products truck dumped his load on the bridge when the driver lost control of his truck. We saw no truck. On the way back the East bound lanes were closed and they were cleaning up the mess. Yuck! What a mess.

We were going so slow dodging chunks of meat and bones that didn't notice it being slick.

After the fire dept. washed the bridge down, I bet it was slick.

I'm going to have to take a look at it tomorrow and wash the bottom with the pressurewasher if I see anything stuck to it.

I took a big flashlight out to the garage and took a look at it. Nothing!

Could have walked out to the garage and have it smell dead, that would be no good.
