No other clothing, no other trash. Just one single shoe.
When you spotted it you'd generally wonder where the other shoe was and stay on the alert to find it. Once in a blue moon you'd find another one about 75 miles later but it didn't match the first one.
That is actually a thing that many of the states do as part of a safety program. Those shoes are put there intentionally because a government study showed that it catches the attention of drivers and subconsciously keeps them awake looking for the shoe.
I had the PENDOT contract to put those shoes there as a contractor for years, driving across the state and back insuring that there was a shoe in the breakdown lane at certain designated areas.
It was a pretty good gig until Donald Trump cancelled the grant that provided PENDOT with the money for the program.
This is what I told someone a while ago just to give the idiot one more thing to hate Trump for.
I have not used that story in 25 years or maybe more. It came out of my head one night when I was out having a beer with a now retired Marine I know. Some woman he knew came by (the Gunny said she was an airhead) and when he introduced us she asked me what I did for a living and that is what I pulled out of my ass.
That is a great story! I will borrow to make some of the liberal pukes I know to get really upset when they realize they have been a victim of 'gotcha!'
