Apparently, the passenger-side rear tire on my car enjoys collecting rocks just as much as I do. It has collected two rocks in the last six months, requiring me to have the tire repaired each time.
Interestingly, my tire has wholly
different criteria than I do for choosing which rocks it collects. The tire
goes for sharply edged, rather plain-looking specimens. I, on the other hand,
am drawn to more colorful rocks, especially those rounded and polished by the
forces of nature. Just the same, I have added the specimens collected by my
tire to my own rock collection.
I’m sharing a photograph featuring
the two rocks picked up by my tire, along with a can of Cold Smoke beer as a
reference for size. The specimen on the right is the most recent.
