or put in a pickup, we used so much rope, we joked about furniture b&d.

For some reason, a little voice said to move to the center lane. I did just that and as the freeway straightened out, in the left lane, was a mattress. Had I stayed in the left lane, I wouldve had a horrible accident. I will never forget that and am deeply grateful to that little voice.

And then stuck their left arm out the window to hold it down. I've seen people do that.
