I almost died today
Driving home I tried to dodge an unidentified object (looked like a picket fence) and spun out. Did a couple of 360's but managed to keep myself on the road. Luckily the cars behind me were able to stop before mangling me to death.
It smelled like burning rubber for the rest of the trip but I got home safe, thank God.

[/ QUOTE ] If he almost hit a mattress, the most likely explanation would be that a mattress had fallen out of someone's car and into the road. With a picket fence, they aren't pre-assembled. You build it in the person's lawn. Therefore, since nearly the only place in which a fully assembled picket fence would be found in someone's yard, the most logical conclusion would be that he was driving on someone's front lawn. Now, if he said a fence post, it could be different.

Re: I almost died today
I'm always amazed at how many ladders I see in the road. What's with that?

[/ QUOTE ] A friend of mine just took the motorcycle safety course (in Pennsylvania - he just started grad school at UPenn and wants a bike.) The course was taught mainly by the same people who're in charge of picking your mangled body off the road if you wreck your bike, so a lot of it was "this is stupid and dangerous". Which made it even scarier when their advice on what to do when you saw a 2x4/ladder/etc in the road in front of you: speed up.

[/ QUOTE ] Home Depot and Lowe's both sell picket fences in pre-assembled sections. They come in wood or plastic. Easy to see how he said picket fence.
