Tractionless Pickups

Thursday morning, June 14, travelling River Road. Speed limit is 45, most drive 50-55, but there is the occasional speed demon who does 65-70, especially through the long straight at the Snohomish end. Today it was a blue Nissan pickup with wheels. I was the last passed before the line went double yellow so was behind him as we reached the stop sign just past the railroad tracks. Buy some tires with tread! Fishtailed all the way up to Broadway. (I'll note that 710 KIRO was reporting what a nice day we were having, but it was out and out raining in Everett and there is no way their airborne folk were seeing anything, including the accident they kept describing just south of 164th). MMR: 7
