That should be an October 4th Challenge...can you think of anything that would fit for this picture? (Maybe photos of "on ramp" signage?)

For my example, it may look like a tractor-trailer is heading right for us going the wrong way on the 401 (had too much to drink at the ONroute?), but it's actually being towed by a truck going the right way :)

I think we just hit a barrier right around now. We might have to due either:
1. Wait longer...and longer between challenges, and prolong challenges, or
2. Start reusing challenges from early-2016. (Comon, that was nearly 2 years ago now)
