    A pretty common sight...

    Left the farm late this afternoon and got behind ANOTHER broke down Toyota being pulled by a Chevy tow-truck.
    When will folks learn?

    Smart, SMART Chevy driver. He KNOWS he'll break down sooner or later, so he tows his only dependable ride home behind him so he won't end up stuck in the middle of nowhere. It's called "insurance".

    Geez. Glad to know there are tow trucks that can get to Mt. Croghan. Pageland, I get, but wow. They must have GPS's.

    P.S.
    I hate spell check. I typed "Two trucks" instead of "Tow trucks" and of course spell check was happy as a dead pig in the sunshine. I wish I could just turn it off entirely, everywhere.

    I've been cogitating on this, and what I think is going on in this picture.

    I think this is a vehicle that is being repo'd. Only thing that makes any scense.
    Some poor sole bought more truck than they could afford, or (especially in this economy) they lost their job or got cut from full to part time or somesuch .... And the new truck just had to go.

    And, sadly, I'll bet it is a pretty common thing in "Rural America".

    Niner is a SMART man! I KNEW there had to be some reasonable explanation. Now THAT makes sense.

    I'm wondering why Captain was passing him on the right.
