Big Rock

Last night I was driving home from work. I had just barely turned off Highway 44 on to Highway 16. I had reached about 65 mph and a huge farm/semi truck comes barreling down the road. Right as he passed me I hear a really loud "thunk!" and I reacted and ducked my head. I then looked up and my driver's side front window looked like this:






A rock flew up from the truck and smashed into my window. The point of impact on my window was about where my head was. If the rock had gone through, I probably would have been hit in the head/face and more than likely wrecked my car. With it being right after work and so many other people on the road, I probably would have caused an accident. I pulled over and shoved the glass out so it wouldn't keep blowing out and end up all over in my car and me.

What a joy. But I'm so happy the window was all that was damaged. I must admit, big trucks make me a little anxious now.
