Do They Think?

Saw a truck driver today walking down the shoulder with a fuel can about a half mile from his rig and mile from an exit with a truck stop. The truck was hauling a bulldozer. Wonder what the bulldozer uses for fuel? Ever see a big rig without ten to twenty feet of spare air line? Think a couple of gallons of that red dyed untaxed off road only diesel might work as well as the ten gallons he planned to haul back from the truck stop? Naw, that can't be right.

Reminds me of a "very important individual" years ago paying someone to put tire chains on the rear wheels of his 1967 Cadillac FWD Eldorado. When I had the terminity to ask why, his reply, "Young man, THIS is a CADILLAC", certainly put me in my place.

Maybe he had been driving all day and need to walk a bit? maybe the bulldozer ran off beer and he drank it all while driveing to the next site...any things possible.
