Then it fell over the side where it was dragged on the road by the oblivious truck driver. At freeway speeds. Its squeals were deafening, along with my dad vigorously honking our car horn. Our car filled with the smell of bacon. The farmer finally noticed and pulled over to the side, dragging the pig on its back across 3 lanes of traffic.
    I was with you until this.

        Maybe the road was paved in hickory and sodium nitrate.

            Good point. Most roads probably are.

                    This is a metaphor for the byu defense. At what point does Bronco (driver) listen to us and see the pig (Howell) squealing and cut it loose?
                    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                                I'm conflicted as I've heard bacon makes everything better.

                                    Bacon does make everything better. Bacon scent doesn't.

                                        He's in the frying pan right now. We'll see how close he is to the fire tomorrow night.

                                            I've never laughed harder at such a sad, tragic story. I careened in a Simpsons-like way from abject, eye-popping horror to a mellow, "Mmmmmmmmmmm bacon...." state of bliss. Even the sad coda had me laughing, as I envisioned the farmer's left arm raised to the square as he signaled each lane change. Feel free to report me to PETA--I admit I need help.

                                                    It's been interesting watching the local news and talking to locals here in St. Louis

                                                    The racial issues here remind me of Dallas.

                                                    Also, it is unanimous among the people I've talked to that the Ferguson police chief is a complete dumbass.

                                                    Protest today was supposedly very close to my hotel ...
