fun at the border (not instigated by us!)

Had a great practice last night..went out with my boat, steered a second, then paddled again with a third team.. three hours of on-water bliss. I love the perspective that different coaches and crews impart. Plus I had to entertain myself as G took the day off to travel half-way around the country to catch up with family. Anyhoo.. got to the border and saw quite a sight. An RV, towing a very nice, shiny, black, convertible pony was jammed between the yellow radiation (as we call them affectionately) poles marking the tight little lane. The driver had obviously followed the curved lane markings, rather than approached the thing straight, and neglected to realize that big square bus-like vehicles don't bend in the middle. The resounding impact had apparently caused the tow package to buckle a bit, so that the pony somehow shifted on the hitch -- the poor guys were having a terrible time trying to disengage it. When i drove off, 11pm at this point, they were still at it. I soooo wanted to take a pic of the whole thing.. it was surreal and pretty amusing, but one of the guys looked so incredibly frustrated, and unhappy look that i thought that would just be poor form. I hope they got out of that mess!
