Odd is good, I guess
« on: August 10, 2009, 08:39:23 AM »
Just had an epiphany.  My straight-laced, WWII vet, Shriner, former county commissioner of a father-in-law had an offbeat streak in him, after all.  When I met my wife-to-be (1975), their family car was a "bought new off the end of the assembly line" Checker Marathon.  I just went to go assess an old tractor he had stashed on his acreage, and it's a Belarus (made in, well, Belarus).  Under-powered, heavy as guilt, tough as a cockroach, and, unfortunately, dead as a hammer.

I guess it's the equivalent of buying a Windicator revolver, or an MAS rifle.

If I used my wife for a tractor, I think she would fix me.  For good.
