Rode in an airplane from Houston, Texas, to San Francisco, California. It loved San Francisco because it could ride the trolley up the hills, and then roll down the hills. It loved to go to visit Golden Gate Park. It also loved to go to Fisherman’s Wharf and watch the Sea Lions lie on the docks.

Caught by men fishing off an offshore platform. They made it into a swing hanging off the side of the platform. One day, a very fat man was swinging on the tire and the rope broke. The man fell all the way down to the water. He lived, but the tire sank to the bottom again, and the men couldn’t catch it.
A few weeks later, a fisherman caught the tire from his boat. He took it home to Gulfport, Mississippi.
