I read your title and thought how will the wheels stay on. I wish our governments would spend as much time trying to get people employed with good medical care, safe food, water and a place to live.

What? Who are you replying to? I don’t think truck nuts will help you find a home or doctor.

I did “help out” a coworker by hanging tea bags from his trailer hitch.

Do you have a problem with NPR, that’s kind of the point with CarTalk.

Well good for you, I have a home too. Do you have good health coverage to pay the doctor you have or do you have to pay it all out of pocket. Have you worked for a company that your city, town, county or state worked to encourage them to open a business where you live. Where I live we have economic development zones and the “Government” doing part of their job, grow work for the population here. So Idaho should spend more time making legislation to help their constituents instead of worrying about what is hanging off the hitch of a vehicle.

There’s a big bronze sculpture of I think a buffalo bull around here. Shortly after it was put up, people complained and the tail had to be lowered so it wouldn’t be so exposed.

Next are they going to make dogs wear clothes when people take them out?

Some around here use steel chain and balls, if they fall off it could cause a terrible crash or terrible damage.

In conservative Sioux Falls, they are proud to,point to their statue of David, right downtown in all his glory. In mixed company I blushed a little walking by it but I got over it. In fairness though I think they should add the female variety just for conversation. Of course most of them know the difference. I miss that place.

Do you mean a male (bull) bison?

The bovine bull on Wall St has been there since ‘89.

It’s a big male animal of some kind. I forget what exactly. The point of the story the sculpture was too realistic for some people’s liking.
