Truck Driver Compares Driving in Wyoming to a Sideways Treadmill
I would like to thank a truck driver for a truly laugh out loud moment this morning. He compared driving in Wyoming to trying to walk on a sideways treadmill.
Karl Sickendick shared this very short but sweet video on YouTube. His title says it all:
Driving in Wyoming be Like a Sideways Treadmill
That is a simple, yet profound and true observation, Karl. Thanks to our overly confident wind, anytime there is snow nearby a Wyoming highway, you do get a sideways treadmill kind of effect.
Karl probably didn't realize this, but running sideways on a treadmill really is a thing for some weird workout people. Strange.
I think Karl would fit in well in Wyoming if he decided to spend some more quality time with us, it appears he's a monster truck fan, too. Well done, Karl, and thanks for the laugh.
