        @neiltyson Any why, if food was so precious, you'd run over so much of it with a pickup!

        @neiltyson Maybe because it was a back wheel and the truck had two wheels on each side of the back axle?

        @neiltyson It had six wheels, it looked like one of the two back tires were blown, not both. So, maybe... but still. Doh!
