About 30 years ago a truck driver that worked for me was hijacked as the escape vehicle in a bank robbery, when he called in we questioned it but the cop right taking the report got on the phone and confirmed it. We hauled meat scraps out of slaughter houses, meat markets and grocery stores. As the story goes the miscreant decided he was going to rob a bank. He planned it all out. Not sure how he got to the bank but his game plan was to rob the bank, take a teller hostage and use the teller's car for the escape. All went well at first, he got the money and took the teller hostage, got out to her car and demanded her keys, she explained they were in her purse that was still in the bank. The robber was smart enough to know going back into the bank for the keys wasn't a good idea. I had to explain that part because this occurred in Florida and strange and odd things happen in Florida, especially where crime is involved. The robber pushes the teller down onto the pavement and runs away. Ducks behind the nearby Winn-Dixie and sees our fat and bone truck. Runs up to the truck, pulls open the right door, climbs in, sticks his gun in the driver's face and yells Drive N***er. Our driver was Robert, a Jamaican kid. I can't do his accent justice but as he tells the story I usually don't like being called that name, but that was a big dam gun so I decided not to argue Robert drove for a dozen or so blocks before the robber made him stop, hopped out and ran away. When I asked Robert if he learned anything his reply was always keep the right door locked The funny part is the truck Robert had was assigned to that route because it had a top speed of about 45 MPH so we kept it on a city route were he didn't have any expressways.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
