well, I have to add a story to this. As some of you know, I recently married, and my wife grew up on a ranch in southern Oregon. Now, the kids pretty much get picked up in watever vehicle the person that picks up works in at the time when school is out (school is about four miles down the highway. While they considered it to be unlucky when they were picked up in the DUMPTRUCK (a frequent occurence) they made the news at school when they were picked up in a ford f-250 with a dead cow on the pickup bed......... flo |
