Gnarlie,

Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

I got squeezed against the curb in heavy traffic in Anchorage and ran
over a piece of angle iron. It got both right side tires. It was a
startling and sickening sound. I came to a stop and blocked traffic for
an hour while a tow truck came and got me. Good thing I had roadside
service on my insurance. a
