Nebraska Man Pulled Over With Bull Riding Shotgun

Author Morty
A Watusi Bull showing his long and thick horns, which they're known for.

Recently a man from Nebraska was pulled over. He was pulled over for having a huge bull riding in the passenger seat. Here’s a photo, courtesy of NBC News. And you definitely need to see it to believe it!

That’s A Mighty Big Bull In A Might Small Car

You’d think if the owner had a full sized bull riding shotgun, that he was probably driving a huge truck. Well he wasn’t. The owner was actually driving an old Ford Crown Victoria, according to WSAZ News. A 1990 sedan that was modified to fit his pet bull and its long horns!

People passing by said it looked like a former police cruiser that was modified heavily. And the bull wasn’t an ordinary bull. It was an African breed called a Watusi bull. They’re known to have long and massive horns that can weigh up to 1,600 pounds, according to The Cattle Site.

License And Registration Please

The driver’s name is Lee Meyer.  Lee was about 30 miles away from where he’s from. The small town Lee is from, no one would question him driving his bull around.  People were calling the police non-stop about Lee and his bull, driving down the road.

Police pulled over Lee and his bull named Howdy Doody! And yes, Howdy’s Doody was all over the back of the sedan. The deposit was made on the side of Lee’s car were signs that read “Best Car Entry” from an event held last month called Nebraska’s Big Rodeo Parade.

Lee was very lucky that the police didn’t write him a ticket. They could have cited Meyer for a lot of things but instead, they let him off with a warning and told him to take Howdy Doody back home.

We have more details on this story in today’s Other News!

Labor Day Weekend Road Trip: 5 Awesome Apps For A Smooth Ride

Three-day holiday weekends are a great time to travel. Before you rev her up, you may want to download some road trip apps that will give you a smoother ride for the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend.

More Americans Traveling This Year

According to AAA.com, more than half of Americans surveyed will be traveling during the upcoming Labor Day Weekend. Comparatively, last year saw 53% of Americans with travel plans for this holiday weekend. This year, that number is up by 4% for domestic travelers. Furthermore, AAA.com reports international destination travel is up by a whopping 44%

So, where is everybody going? As an illustration, Aixa Diaz’s article on AAA.com lists Seattle, Orlando, Anchorage, New York, and Las Vegas as the top 5 domestic destinations.

Generally, I would say it’s a good bet that Seattle and Anchorage are on that list due to the fact that they’re perfect starting points for ocean cruises. Moreover, it’s good to see Las Vegas making the list since our city depends on tourist visitation.

Road Trip Apps That Will Give You A Smoother Ride

Undoubtedly, we Americans can plan a road trip without the use of apps. We were traveling in cars for about a hundred years before the smart phone was invented. However, nowadays, why not make good use of the incredible apps that are out there?

Specifically, these applications should help you avoid traffic delays. Additionally, you can plan your restroom breaks and fuel stops. They can help you budget your fuel costs. Plus, whenever we hit the road in our car, we love to explore some destinations that are off the beaten path. It’s a long weekend, why not take advantage of the extra time to explore?

So, download whichever apps you think you may be able to put to good use on your next road trip. Here are five road trip apps which will help make it a much smoother ride. Oh yeah, don’t miss the perfect app for your road trip music playlist at the bottom of the list.

  • 1) Destination

    Where are we going?  What are we going to do when we get there?  Are we just hittin’ the road and hoping to take some mini-adventures? These are the questions you ask yourself when planning a road trip. Roadtrippers.com  helps you get from point A to point B, and according to their website: “Discover the most incredible people, places and experiences worth a detour.”

    Seems like everywhere we go nowadays, there’s traffic…and lots of it! One of the most popular apps to help you avoid traffic tie-ups is Waze.com. According to their website, this tool was created in 2009 “as a crowd-sourced navigation app” which can help us all avoid speed traps (we recommend you NEVER go over the speed limit), construction tie-ups, accidents, and road hazards, by working together as a traveling community.

  • 3) Fuel

    Gas prices are higher than $4 bucks per gallon in our region, and expected to go higher during hurricane season. It would be good to know where you can fill up during your trip.

  • 4) Auto Repairs

    It was an article I received from FixdApp.com by Kate McKnight which inspired me to write this post, and I have taken most of her app recommendations to list here for you. I don’t know a lot about cars and how to repair them. And now that most cars are run by computers, I know even less. It seems like most places charge you $100-$200 dollars to do a diagnostic test just to tell you what’s wrong with your vehicle. They load the repair cost on top of that! This tool and app is very easy to use (I purchased one recently. I was not paid for this recommendation), and it will tell you what is wrong with your vehicle and how much you can expect to be charged before you take it in to the repair shop.
