Friday, the day after Christmas, Rhonda, Caitlin and I jumped into Bill's truck to make some returns in town. We started down Pocatello Creek and were just about to the interstate when we heard a big THUD. I thought for an instant that we had a flat tire and was waiting for the thump, thump of the tire but all I heard was the loudest scrapping noise. All of a sudden I looked up and Caitlin yelled, "There goes the tire." The back left hand wheel had fallen off of the truck. The wheel was heading for the interstate intersection. We were laughing so hard. I said, "Caitlin go get the tire" and Rhonda said,"I hope it stops for the light!" It did stop and Caitlin got it and rolled it back. I was laughing so hard that I had a hard time telling Bill what happened. A policeman came and had to direct traffic while we waited for Les Shwab to come rescue us. It was an experience none of us will soon forget.

Love the all the pictures and wow....you are lucky it was a back tire and hopefully going slow...that could have been bad! It looks like plenty of white stuff...looks like snow although it has been a long time since I have seen it!! Having a great time in Hawaii. Talk to you soon!
