Dumptruck- Dodge

Have you ever played dumptruck dodge? Probably not, since I made it up myself and I haven't told anyone until now. I get involved in it everyday when I go to work and when I come home from work. Between our home and the interstate is the road to the gravel pit of all gravel pits. Every truck in this part of the state goes in and out of there when I am traveling the roads. Anyway you can earn points by strategizing about what it takes to get in another lane at a light and outrun the truck when the light turns, things like that. You can lose points if you're behind one and rocks start hitting your car, big point loss if the rocks hit your windshield! I about lost everything this morning when driving up the on-ramp onto I-80 behind a dumbtruck and we hit the interstate going 30 mph because that's all the faster he would go! (that's right, dumb, not just dump) I was prepared to die with cars and semis flying around us! Finally I saw an opening and made a break for it and was able to get around him. yea! points!!! I'm still alive!!! Sometimes I get wild and yell "Dump your dumper!" but they must not hear me. Yes, I can play this game and sing praise and worship songs at the same time. 10 minutes of awesome wonder!

Your game sounds kinda dangerous, I am glad you are ready to meet your Maker. Just kidding

I am glad to hear you use your time wisely as you drive and are not just yelling at them to "Dump your dumper!"

Mom...I'm just not sure what to say! You are crazy, woman. I can actually visualize you yelling at those drivers. Too funny. Be careful, it can't be a good way to go!!

Do you get any points if you flash a dumptruck driver or show the full monty or is that cheating? Thank you for showing me this blog. I just read Emily's and Jill's and now I am moving on to Laura's blog. This is my first official time I have ever BLOGGED in my entire 38 year life! I got a great laugh on yours and Emily really was inspirational. Loved her pictures of herself. She is so photographic! This is Deb.
