How some things get on the highway are beyond me. Hats, potted plants, garbage bins. Sure, things just fall out of a car or your jerk of a friend decides you don’t want that CD anymore and throws it out the window, but how would something like a shoe end up in the middle of a highway? Nobody walks there and very few people put their feet out the window. Could it be the last remnants of a suicide bridge jumper? Maybe that jumper chickened out and in defiance flung his shoe into traffic instead. Take that world!
I don’t know why but every time I’m driving down the on-ramp by my house there’s always a shoe laying there. It’s not always the same shoe either. It would make more sense if the brown boot I saw last month were still kicking around (pun intended) but the footwear changes every week or so. And what happened to the shoe I was beginning to grow fond of? I personally think the city is behind these antics. There was probably a bill passed stating that all municipalities must have a division assigned to highway shoe rotation. There are so many unanswered questions that will never get answered in this world but this should be at the top of the list. I guess it's one of life’s many mysteries that nobody cares enough about to investigate.
