Mar 9th, 2016: Truckin'

[xoxoxoBruce]

Mankato Minnesota is no hick town, it’s the fourth largest city in MN, with hot spots like the Riverfront park, Sibley Farm,
Rasmussen Woods, and the Kwik Trip out on 169. Well the other day the action was at the Kwik Trip.

A couple people noticed a big red semi rig coming through the Wilson Trailer Sales parking lot, headed right toward the Kwik Trip.
When it took down a tree, one of the guys watching decided he should maybe chat with the driver.
He pulled open the door as the truck hit a car near the gas pumps but all he could get out of the driver was woof.



As I recall that part on MN is pretty flat, so I guess the driver didn't feel he needed to set the truck or trailer brakes.
Of course it's a diesel so he wouldn't want to shut it down if he was just grabbing a coffee or taking a leak.
But he really ought to tell his Labrador it requires a commercial license before he/she can drive.

PS ~ Free advice. If you open the door to someone else's truck and see a dog, shut that sumbitch fast.
Dogs as a rule, don't pick up hitchhikers, and don't like people getting in their trucks.
Seriously, until the owner gets in first and says it's OK, don't open that door.
It would probably not be wise to even try to pet a dog hanging out the window of a parked truck.
You have no idea how many Milk-Bones the payments on that rig are.
