At the Raccoon Valley a few years back (Bridgeton, Indiana) on a back road between Bridgeton and Rosedale? there was a tree growing in the middle of the road.  I had to stop I was amazed.  Pavement curved around both sides but they never pulled up the tree!

I wonder if that tree is still there.

The worst thing that found me was a ninja rabbit jumping out of a ditch, cleanly broke the rear crash bar bolt then destroyed my Calvin's saddlebag.

Here, let me fix that for you - " The worst thing that found me was a kamakazi rabbit " ... Ninja rabbits are all around us, but we never see them.

  During  college I worked at a farm store in Oklahoma.  There was a cowboy came in ever few days for stuff. He drove     a flatbed truck piled with all sorts of tools, oil cans, ag stuff, and anything you could think of,owned by the farmer he worked for.   He was a real Dukes of Hazard type of guy, drove up like a maniac, dust flying,  talked  loud, joking and stuff.   Ye Haw....We said you could about make a living driving behind him picking up stuff that fell off of that truck.

My Wife! Pulled into an Oregon State Park beach access lot while riding down 101 to California. Our eyes met from a few parking spots away. After a few minutes, she came up and introduced herself. We talked for awhile and I asked her if she new of any camp sites heading south. She said, "no, but I've got 40 acres and a guest cabin your welcome to stay in." The next thing she said that blew me away was, "I'd really like a ride on your motorcycle".
She is definitely the coolest thing!

Mr. Breeze, if that's a true story, you *totally* win the prize.   And congrats to you and your wife.  That's
terrific. 

The best things I ever found on the road were various turtles.
