Today's trash laying in, on, or near the road was:

• Broom - A big push broom, with it's handle intact.
• Shovel - Not the digging kind, the shoveling shit kind. The big flat kind that would go perfect with a push broom.

The two were only about 500 feet apart, so they probably fell off the same truck. If either of these smacked your car, you'd be looking at some serious body work.
