1st thing I saw on the morning commute was a sign that things had really went haywire, and I didn't learn the facts til just now... a trucker crashed and died. Best guess, he fell asleep at the wheel at 6 am






I took the above photos at 6:07

a semi-truck carrying hundreds of thousands of almonds crashed and caught fire on southbound Interstate 805 near Mission Valley early Tuesday, causing lane closures, the California Highway Patrol said.



The crash was reported around 6 a.m. after the semi-truck heading southbound on the 805 didn't choose the exit or the straight ahead lane, but went directly into the middle and hit the crash cushion, at the I-805 and Interstate 8 split.

CHP says that as a result of the crash, the truck caught fire and was fully engulfed. A witness told CHP it appeared the semi "exploded" after impact.

    there were times, many, many years ago, when I would drive through the night, The dawn is always the toughest time, You can be fine all through the night, but you better be on your toes when the dawn breaks. I would usually stop for a break around that time.
