Pothole

In that fraction of a second I caught a glimpse of something up ahead .....

I had time to think to myself: "That can't be what I think it is. Not in the middle of downtown on the busiest street in town. No way the city would allow that because I'll be changing a flat tire if they did so that can't be what it looks like because the city would have been out here in a flash, filling this in" ..... I was wrong

I had time to think the above but not the time to change course. It's funny just how much can flash through your mind in a split second.

The deepest pothole I've ever driven through. It felt like I was in up to my lugnuts.
