Ah Chic-A-Go . Learned vary early on that you are WISE to only venture in and out in DAYLITE hours . Back in 79 i took a load of what was called CFC salt out to Bloomington and got that off rather early in the evening and already knew i was to load stainless steel scrap going back to near Pittsburgh Pa. out of a scrap yard up on the N/W side . It paid vary well was and easy run BUT i never got loaded till the afternoon and always came out in the rush hour traffic and had to fight my way out. I got this hair brain idea that since the NIGHT was still young that i would just go up to the scrap yard and set up my pup tent and camp out and BE FIRST in line in the morning . WOW the drive up was nice hardly any traffic . Not a sole around when i got there , parked inft. of the gate so they would wake me up when they got there. Shut the truck off and crawled back into International Motel and drifted off to sleep . Till i was wakened from the truck shaking and looked out of the bunk to see two guys ( not saying color ) tryen to break in . As i came out of the bunk one of them screamed HE's GOT a GUN as they bailed off the steps and ran like the devil himself was after them . won't say why they increased ground speed . so now that the excitement is over i am going back to bed . and just start to get comfy when someone is beating on the door , out of the bunk with friends in hand and stuff them into the nose of a Chicago cop . He was cool he was just checking the area as a Noise complaint was called in . I had to explain , he understood and he INFORMED me that this was NOT a good camping area as the wild life can be dangerous and would STRONGLY suggest that the next time to find better camping areas OUT of the City , BUT that i could finish out the night and him and his partner would make sweeps around the area the rest of the evening . From then on i would do my Camping out on the east side of Portage In. at our terminal . Camping out made no difference as i still did not get loaded and out of there till 3:30 and had to fight the traffic . That is when i found out that everybody that hauls out of there is loaded by seniority and i was # 5 on the list and would always be the first to start loading AFTER LUNCH .

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
