Geez what a tale! I just hope he didn't get the two coolers mixed up! So . . . what's for dinner?

Very high tech, carrying around organs in a cooler..
But whatever works. I would be totally creeped out if I found a pair of eyeballs or the whole eye mechanics in a cooler someone left at a gas station. Ewwww. Probably part of a prank, - at least I hope that's all it was.

Yes. It is a very tall sycamore tree on this property and I can see that part of it from my deck. The lower portion is behind another building.

If you ever hear the WHY for the pig's eyes, and again why they would just leave them at a garage?? I'm curious. I suppose coolers are the ideal thing to transport body parts.
Love the picture of the tree - is it one close to your home?

My brother is a courier and he has picked a variety of body parts and then take them to the airport! It's a great thing but I don't have the stomach for it personally! He even got to see a procedure from the doctor's area late one night! I think it was a liver he watched them remove! sam

I forget even now that some things that we did on the wards and in the
hospitals that was quite ordinary to us made other people turn green. LOL. But those eyes would have been a shock to find. Something about eyes......

This reminds me of an incident...
driving along I 90, just east of Ellensburg, there was a woman with a car stalled on the shoulder. I stopped, and asked if I could help, she asked me to go about 5 miles up the road to the rest area on top of the hill, and make a call for her, as her cell phone had no signal, and she was stuck, and transporting an organ. I did that, of course, and that was the last I heard of it, but hopefully it all worked out.
