Driving hazards

As I was driving home from town the other day, this huge screw implanted itself in my right front tire.  It is actually surprising that we don't get more of these stuck in our tires.  The pickup trucks on the road here are often correctly dubbed "a bucket of bolts."  One of them must have dropped this beauty.
It was a blessing that the tire still held air.  We called our mechanic to come pick up the car at our house, and he took it to a local "pinchazo," or "tire-fixing place."  Now we have a huge plug that is still holding well.  Praise the Lord!
