Any drone sightings?   

Actually possibly three. Two others that may have been helicopters.

We saw two canards yesterday flying in tight formation.   I guess not unusual since 3 metro area airports including STL international were within 5-10 miles.   Still pretty cool to see them.

If it was night, they may have been drones.

Daytime.   Flying low too.   Could have been drones but definitely shaped like a canard.

Didn't have time yesterday to tell yet another crazy early morning vehicle incident.

Towing the boat on county road E, a few miles from the launch, it is around 0645, just getting light with heavy fog.  Out of nowhere a pickup truck, with no headlights on, flies by, passing me in a no-passing zone.  The road was going up a little hill so you can't see any oncoming traffic thus the no-passing deal.  If someone had been coming over that hill, it would've been a bad head-on wreck.  And to top it off, once over that little hill there is a straight away where you can pass.  

Can’t fix stupid. Glad you or anyone else was not hurt!!

These early morning trips on Ozark back roads are hazardous.  Going to Cape Fair a couple of days ago on MO HWY 90 and around a curve comes a dually pickup over the center line.  Had enough room to dodge him, thankfully.

I just dislike those Butt Pucker Moments

I often wonder what happened when I pass those white, road-side crosses in the middle of nowhere. That wreck would've been horrific and I'm glad you didn't have to witness it or worse, be involved.
