I got s*** for being too careful, but, I didn't want to strand the truck in 4 feet of water. Ended up driving out in the country and back in a circle....




See, there is indeed a way to prevent what happened. Matter of fact, looks to me like there may have been enough room right on that street to perhaps drive around the perimeter. I, too, have avoided such pitfalls when driving the big LaFrance.

But we have a generation that is not up to expecting the unexpected, it seems, or perhaps I'm just curmudgeoning.

I know this much: If I had done it, my you-know-what would have been in the proverbial sling for certain. As it should be IMO.
