Hwy 59 - 8 Foot Aluminum Ladder Sighting

It's rare when a ladder is found on the side of the interstate Houston any any usable shape, but today that string of disappointment could have been broken.  On the way home from picking blueberries at Oakview Orchard near Cold Springs/Cleveland, Texas, I spotted a 6 to 8 foot aluminum ladder lying by the side of the road.  It appeared to be in great shape.  Traffic was light, but I was in the RAV4 and didn't want to tie it to the roof.  Besides, a strict interpretation of the rules and an inventory of my garage shows I have three ladders including a 6 foot aluminum ladder.  Someone else will get the opportunity to pick up this treasure.

The ladder was lying on the inside shoulder of the interstate around 10 miles outside of Beltway 8.

59 South Tire Iron Sighting

On the way to Central Market today, I spotted a tire iron lying on the side of the interstate just past the Chimney Rock overpass on Hwy 59 South.  The tire iron was the standard black tire iron.  It was lying on the inside north-bound shoulder of the road.  There is probably enough room at that spot to pull over and pick up this tool, but I have a lug wrench and a 4 way lug wrench so I have no need to stop and the rules also prevent it.  I'm sure some one will pick it up or it will become fodder for the shoulder sweepers.
