Yup, I'd HEARD that the price of scrap metal was going up . . .
Ricardo, your picture reminds me of a funny story a friend told me. My friend served in the Vietnam war. There was a local market that happened every week. The Vietnamese people either walked or rode bicycles with all their goods somehow tied on.
Did you know pigs will drink booze? Well the local people would get the pigs drunk because they were easier to transport. You don't want to kill the pig because they are worth more alive and besides, what if no one buys him? One fellow got his pig drunk (the pig passed out) and he tied the pig on the bicycle and off they went to town. The pig woke up and was really unhappy about being tied to a bicycle. It was a good sized pig - he started thrashing and squealing and up ende the bicycle. While still tied to the bicycle he tried to run away, draggin the bike and the little man behind him.
Wish I could have seen a video of that one! angela

This one's not as good as the pig story, but similar. My girlfriend and I walked our young dog to a local bar/restaurant with outdoor patio seating one nice summer evening for dinner. About halfway through a bee took an interest in my girlfriend....she jumped out of her chair (which the dog's leash was tied to.) The dog got spooked thinking something was the matter and bolted. When she turned around to see if things were OK, she realised that a lightweight noisy bouncing aluminum patio chair was chasing her. She redoubled her efforts to get away and ran faster than I've ever seen her move before or since (and this includes chasing down squirrels or geese at the park). We called her back in between laughing at thje sight and feeling sorry for how scared she was. After darting in front of a car (with squealing brakes) she was now headed full steam at a patio full of confused diners with a clanging bouncing chair scraping behind her. I dove and caught her jst before she took out an inebbriated table of 4 middle-aged margarita-filled ladies.
I'll never forget that one. Now she only comes with us when the bees aren't out, and she's leashed to my chair (the bees don't bother me so much). Every time we went there after that for awhile though, we wanted to see who got the battle scarred chair.

Great Pics and funny stories! It's a nice break from work.
That's a great looking dog Luke!
You guys are great!! Your good humor flat made my day! I would have laughed myself silly on the dog/chair incident had I been there. Even the internet version was LOL funny! angela
Luke: If those bees get too bad you can borrow my cat, he can pick 'em off at a 100 paces.

She actually took a bee out a few weeks back. A half hour later, her lip was so swollen she looked like she had picked up chewing tobacco. Luckily it wasn't near her throat. We now keep Benadryl on hand. It is effective both for human and canine bee stings. Consult with your local vet for proper dosage.
And by the way Angela, the story on the booze drinking pigs is just hysterical!!!
Dad got a cow in a VW once. But what really makes it funny is he got stopped by the Highway Patrol....
When I was younger, I had a few dogs in my Karmann Ghia, but only for one date.
ha ha ha good stories, always good to laugh at you guys.
A cow in a VW? Would have PAID to see that one! Can you imagine what the cop thought? The cop probably still tells the story, 'yeah, i stopped this guy for speeding, asked for license and registration , he says mooooo....' angela
Actually, it was a 59 panel van with a divider. He was going to move to a friends farm. The plan was to tie her to the bumper and walk her there but when he stepped up into the van to get the bucket o' grain she followed him. Now being in a bus with a 1000 lb cow was a bit tight so he opened the back hatch and crawled out not thinking to leave the bucket behind. In the process of getting out he spilled grain on the rear area so she crawled the rest of the way in to get to it!
While he was messing with the cow the HP set up a road block to check registration, right in front of the house! When came around he headed right on out onto the street. He had about gotten through the checkpoint when the cow lost her footing making the van rock. He about had that one explained when she must have tried to turn around . He said he thought the poor old bus was about to turn over. He said the HP ran around to the back of the bus and shouted "You got a cow in there!" which promptly made the other two patrolmen drop what they were doing and come running.
Needless to say they told everyone they knew that Gulley got a cow in a VW, never mentioning it was a bus. Took years to live that one down. At least they forgot how his 3 year old son drove a Karman Ghia into the showroom floor, through the front wall!
