On the road again

While tooling my way up I-75 North into downtown ATL on the way to work this a.m., I took inventory of the more unusual things abandoned by the roadside. On today's roster: a New York Yankees visor (in Braves Country, no less), one solitary hiking boot, a smashed Igloo cooler, one dead dog stiffened by rigor mortis, a black baseball cap bearing a rebel flag insignia and some sort of message (probably "FERGIT HELL!") in all caps, one empty Dasani water bottle and three half-empty Gatorade/Powerade bottles. The watermelon pile is still there, evaporating in the heat.

So Gatorade bottles now litter our nation's highways rather than beer cans. Good to know that America's hitchhikers are choosing fluids scientifically formulated to rehydrate, replenish and refuel in ways beer can't.
