On the freeway, it takes up three lanes on the straightaways and all
four lanes on curves and bridges. It took us 90 minutes to go about
20 miles.

I passed a rig maybe half that size once heading east towards Snoqualmie Pass.
The trailer had maybe 12 axles and was pulled by only 2 tractors. I guessed the
load was an electric generator for one of the hydro plants on the Columbia.

Holy crap! What about on and off the freeway? Around here
freeway entrances/exits are only 2 lanes wide at most
and usually 1 lane with shoulders.

Underpasses. How do they manage underpasses?

Some are tall enough. the ones that aren't they go around, sometimes
up and down the ramps, sometimes by miles.

"The semi was carrying 72,000 pound of tomatoes, the CHP said."

This is especially funny because a lot of the conversation on the trip
north this weekend was about all the trucks full of tomatoes, tomatoes
on the side of the freeway, the "world's largest"* tomato processing
plant, etc.

*I made up the part about "world's largest", but tomato trucks seem to
be going in there 24/7.

Yuck. I HATE raw tomatoes. I'm ok with sauces, sundried I actually
like, but raw tomatoes are to me utterly vile. The sandwich guy in
the cafeteria at work is well-trained by now not to put them on my
sandwich.

A fire in a bourbon barrel-house, now *that's* sad.

I can sit with a bowl of cherry tomatoes fresh out of the garden and
eat them like candies.
