Red Semi Flips Over Diesel Gas Prices

Do you have a photo with red in it? It can be a little red or a lot of red. It just has to be your own photo. Then, post your photo on your blog and go to Mary's blog - Work of the Poet - to add your link to Mr. Linky. That way Mary can visit you and we can all see who's playing so we can visit each other.

Anybody who has an eye for RED and a camera can participate. If you're interesting in joining or just want to check out who's playing today click on the RUBY TUESDAY icon and it will take you to Mary's place.

Happy Tuesday Everybody!

You'll have to forgive me; but I couldn't resist the title! I'm not sure what the guy driving the truck was doing at the time. This is a small road going into a truck stop. He couldn't have been speeding but somehow he lost the trailer and flipped it in the ditch. It happened as we were having dinner nearby and took a little over an hour to get it turned upright again.

Wow! This is quite an odd shot!

I love your title. Poor truck driver. I don't know how anyone has the courage to drive those things. I learned to drive at 56. Loved it, but can't imagine driving something like a semi.

If it is empty a good gust of wind could have taken it over. Despite their apparent size and weight, empty vans are like sails when the wind hits them broadside. Or it could have seen the price of diesel and fainted. ;)

Great title and sometimes a little humour is necessary to get through these mishaps.

Carletta: That was a great play on words from the gas prices. They are making me want to flip.
I got gas for $3.72 a gallon and thought I got a great deal.

Oh, my! That's scary_ especially since my son-in-law drives one of those big things!



:) YAH! He sure DID flip- and it wouldn't surprise me if he was thinking about the high gass prices when it happened!

George Townboy flips over Red Heads.

Gee, had I known about Ruby Tuesday, I'd shot something red, lol!

George Townboy said...

Great photo of a flipped trailer ... perfect title too. You are forgiven.

Ralph said...

Can't say if I would flip over a red semi. Gotta pay attention to the driving dynamics of something that big and heavy. Zero margin for error I guess.

Nice shade of red on that trailer...

Askew To You said...

Funny title. ;D

Jan said...

Yes, we're all flipping. Great capture.

Carletta, when I read the title and then saw the picture I laughed right out loud! Great pun! Happy Ruby Tuesday! Thanks for inviting everyone to RT! You're helping to make the meme so successful! :)
