I wonder if any kid today could get in a Hudson Hornet, take it out to
a hay field and see how many times they could get the car to roll
over?

I mean when we were still living next to my Uncle's dairy farm, at
twelve we were driving hay trucks with a good 15/16 ton of chopped
fodder, running the combine/pickers and plowing in the spring.

And don't even get me started on school - walked twelve miles, up
hill, both ways. *:)


In the snow? from September to May?
