STARING AT NOTHING!? At least here in Michigan we don't stare at miscellaneous crap lying on the side of the road, come on people!

Though actually I think that's most likely because it's not uncommon to see chunks of shredded tires, mufflers, shoes, a lump of cloth that may be either a pillow or a rather fluffy but small blanket just lying on the shoulder. _{Usually it's a tire or a muffler though}
