Faulty tempering? Maybe. But the truck has almost 400,000 miles on it, and is just over a year old. Why didn't it fail sooner?

Polar Bear?

Shotgun pellets exiting the truck? Nah. Scatterguns are too big and too messy for use from inside a vehicle. I did, however, wonder if some kid with a BB gun or pellet gun was engaged in mischief of some kind.

But I will never know.

Me.

My driver's side door window.

About 1 PM local time.

On I-64, Fairview Heights, Illinois.

I still am not sure why. I was just rolling along, listening to the radio (NPR, Bob Edwards), letting lunch settle (BLT, fries, iced tea). When it happened I wasn't expecting it (do we ever expect stuff like that?), and it just suddenly exploded. Glass went everywhere.

It actually made a very loud boom too.

And since the outside temperature was about 28°F, and I was going about 69 miles an hour, it suddenly got very cold inside the cab.

I got off the road, called the Mother Ship, and coordinated replacement.

There was glass everywhere, the passenger seat, the dash, the sleeper, in my clothes and shoes.

And I will never know why it happened.

The company owns about a dozen of this same model truck, and it has happened a time or two before.

Crazy.

Thanks ... that is a bit weird, especially if it's happened before ... and that would have scared the ____ out of me for a second or two ... J

here are some from yesterday's family stroll around the neighborhood.
3 of these incorporate the Cosina 55mm/1.2 on the K5. The other is the 645D with A-75/2.8

Auto Sears 50mm f/1.7 bokeh.

And this is the Rikenon XR 50 f/1.4 boken at the same place with the exact same PP applied.

Some pictures of a male long tailed tit trying to impress his mirror image in the window next to my computer spot (which isn't really motivating me to stay focused on work)
taken with tair 11A;

gymnastics:

and flicking the eyebrows / doing the "I'm so adorable":

What a beautiful capture, margriet!
