So anyway my day starts out like normally, I attend Sylvan learning center to help me study for Praxis and CBASE test for education in Art. I rode up there on my bike which was about an hour trip. Did my studies and left.
On my way back, about 20 minutes into my ride, a piece of plastic bagging(about 12-15ft long) which I assumed that fell off a semi-truck had blown onto the road (country road) and blew up on a car. I was in Fenton, Missouri; some people may know it, some may not. The piece of plastic had blown up and had missed me but had hit the car next to me and was snagged on the car. I didn't think anything of it first. I just figured that it happens all the time. That was until I noticed it blew up in her driving view a few times. It got me thinking of the possibilities, my solution was to remove it from the car.
Thought about grabbing the plastic on a straight-a-way (while moving), but I didn't trust the driver of the car and it seemed like a dumb and unsafe idea. We were traveling about 35-40mph side by side (2 lane road, both sides).
I simply just matched speed with the driver until we hit the next light and drove up next to her, put the bike in neutral, leaned over (staying on the bike, because I am at the light) and pulled the plastic off her Sebring.
The truck infront of me Ironically was a trash truck. What are the odds? He saw me take it off the car and stuck his hand out the window and just waved his hand to give him the plastic bagging that I pulled from the car.
I never saw the driver's expression from the car, but I kept thinking about this all day and I just felt silly about it, but it was something that made me feel pretty good. It's a lame story but, thought I would share it.
